My name is jennifer and I had a miscarriage may 22, I've got the okay to go ahead and start trying again which we are but anyone just worry that it will happen again?
Im so sorry for your loss. I just finished my first AF and Im certainly worried but all Im trying to think is that worrying wont help, so I'm just gonna stay positive. I hope you can do the same. After all, a happy mama makes a happy baby
Ugh I worry all the time. I worry that I wont be able to get pregnant, then I worry that all my worrying will be a self fufilling prophecy and I can't get pregnant, and then I worry that if I do get pregnant I will be too scared and worried to enjoy it. I'm just a giant bag of nerves lately. I think we all deserve a vacation!!

I've recently had a mc as well... It's the worst feeling in the world and I know I'll have the same worries when I finally get pregnant again. I'm a WORRY WART. But just stay positive and hope for the best. I hope everything goes well for you *hugs*
@bntfroggie it's like you took the words right out of my mouth. I feel all those feelings. SO much worry. What if I can't get pregnant? What if I get pregnant and m/c again? What if I can't enjoy pregnancy because I am so worried? What if I can't get pregnant at all bc I'm so worried? It's just awful. I actually considered (and am still considering) seeing a therapist. I'm not sure how much it would help but I'm thinking it might be worth a try.

I see a therapist and definitely suggest it! She has helped us grieve and look to the future. If we do get pg again, I will def continue seeing her because my anxiety will be through the roof! I've already accepted that I will not be able to fully enjoy a pregnancy ever again, might as well do everything I can to make it even a little bit easier to deal with.
