Positive thoughts?

I am 8 weeks on Saturday and I am terrified. I am trying to be positive but I feel like I am just setting myself up for failure. I have read the mantras but still can't shake the feeling that I am going to loose this baby. (My last loss was at 11 weeks) My husband is contastantly reassuring me but nothing helps. Please give me any advice to help shake this negativity! I go in for my next US on Monday.

Sending you lots of T&P's that your u/s on Monday has great results.

I am so sorry your going through this. I totally understand. I woke at 3am this morning terrified I was going to miscarry (not exactly sure why). I know it sounds counter productive but sometimes the mantras actually make me a bit more nervous. The only one that really helps is "There is nothing I can do to prevent...and if it happens I will survive". Nothing really makes the worry (and sometimes dread) go away but focusing on things other than the pregnancy helps sometimes. PGAL sucks, and sometimes I'm pissed that our joy was sucked away by the loss. I hope your able to enjoy this time and I hope have an amazing u/s.

First trimester is the hardest. Take it day by day. FX everything goes well.

FX your mind begins to ease . Time is the only thing helping me... the more time that goes by the better I feel . Watching this silly fruit ticker change .. every week further we get .. every new symptom I feel . Those things make it a little bit easier . But every day I still have fear. You are not alone ! *big hugs*

Sending so many hugs. I had such a hard time with this pregnancy after 2 losses and never having a good u/s before this pregnancy. Even after seeing her every 2 weeks from 6weeks to 12 weeks heart beating, kicking and flailing around I still get anxiety going into ultrasounds. (I have one in 2 weeks at 28wks and even though she rolls around and kicks all the time, I'm already worked up). My husband and I started a tradition and we had breakfast before each u/s and then after our successful u/s we would celebrate by buying something small for baby.

Pgal brain makes it hard, and that fear may not ever go away, but everyday you are pregnant and love your baby and are one day closer.

Lots of hugs.

First tri is tough but it does get a little better with time. Hang in there. I tried to focus on the weekly ticker change and each week I would feel some relief that we were another week further. (((Hugs)))
