Pregnant after a Loss

Please Help!!!

Hello Ladies, I need your help. Last Spring 2010 I suffered two miscarriages back to back. First a blighted ovum w/ D and C and the second one they were unable to locate a gest. sac and fetal pole w/ methotrexate shot. I am now 10 weeks and 3 days (since LMP) pregnant. I have had three ultrasounds confiming fetal age, a very active baby and heartbeat. My question is this, how do I stop obsessing about another miscarriage? I seen positive growth, but I keep wondering if I would have a missed miscarriage or something else goes wrong. After losses, how do you all keep sane and happy thoughts?

Re: Please Help!!!

  • Firstly, congratulations on your pregnancy.  I hope it continues to be healthy and uneventful.

    Secondly, I don't think you ever do stop worrying about it.  Unfortunately, once you have had a loss or losses, your perspective is forever changed.  The mantra here is "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby".  Repeating that seems to help, but you will never be carefree.  

    GL!  I hope this is your take home baby!

    I'm sorry for your losses. I don't think I ever stopped worrying. Just take it one day at a time and focus on the positive.

    There is a lot of crazy involved in being PGAL.  I'm 33w and still nervous.  Good luck though, sounds like this LO has some fight!

    Take it day by day, you (unfortunately) do not have the luxury of being blissfully naive about pregnancy. As you get closer to your due date, though, things do get better. But in the beginning, it can be really hard.
