Waiting for week 8

I was pregnant and miscarried only once, 7 years ago almost exactly.  I'm pregnant now, about 6 almost 7 weeks and have an ultrasound on the 11th of July.  I will say I think my specific journey right now is pretty nuts. My boyfriend of 6 years and I started trying for kids 2 years ago. I'm 36 and he is 38.  Unfortunately, our relationship is really struggling and he told me we should have a break on Father's day. The next day I found out I was pregnant and it has been a whirlwind of crazy. I'm so scared because of all the stress that I'm going to miscarry again or they won't see anything on the ultrasound in a week. It really seems this community is pretty strong. So I hope sharing this piece of my life can also maybe help someone else in some capacity.  I started meditating everyday for at least half an hour and have been pretty committed to positive affirmations and thinking. That still doesn't change the fact that I'm definitely going to have a rough couple weeks/months while we figure out if I'm still pregnant and how to move forward and (hopefully) have a new beginning out of all of this. I really connect with those who have miscarried because it changed my life when it happened to me for the first time. I guess I'm not seeking any real advice since I don't think there is much I can do at this point other than stay strong and have hope.  Thank you for listening.  Also I basically have like 2 friends so of anyone needs a buddy to talk to, I'm more than happy to offer what I can.  💕

Aw that's so hard. Congrats on the pregnancy! I hope things can be worked out with your boyfriend. And I hope all goes well and that you have a smooth healthy pregnancy!
I had a miscarriage 1.5 yrs ago, my first pregnancy. And being pregnant again has been hard for me because of the fears that I'll miscarry again. But trying to hang in there and trust God for the outcome of this one. He lovingly walked me through the pain of my last one.
