Pregnant after MC

Hi fellow newbies :)

I'm obviously new to this site and trying to find my way around. So forgive my newbie-ness ;)

I am 10 weeks pregnant after suffering a MC last year. Currently going through different feelings of happiness for this pregnancy and worry of what if it ends the way last time did. I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. I feel like I'm robbing my baby of joy and elation I should be feeling.

My SO and I have decided to keep this pregnancy secret for a few more weeks as the disappointment last time was hard to handle (I told the news at 6 weeks and MC at 9 weeks). I'm hoping that once we let the news out, I will be more excited and not so worried since I will have many more people to talk to.

Can anyone relate or offer any words of advice? Since it's just a secret between my SO and I, it's hard not to be able to have fellow women to talk to.

    I can relate.

    It's normal to feel anxious and worried when you are pregnant. I think even more after one has suffered loss. Just try to relax and take it one day at a time.

    I was petrified from the day I found out I was pregnant until they put him in my arms but I made it through.

    Good luck to you!

    Welcome, congratulations on the pregnancy, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Have you looked over at the Pregnant after a loss board? My guess is those ladies would be able to relate to what you are going through. 

    Thank you for the congrats!

    I've seen that board, just thought I would dabble a little in this board a little and get my feet wet with posting/replying, etc.

    Thank you. I'm a natural worry wart and so of course now my anxiousness is worse. And reading the internet sometimes makes things worse :/

    But, I do realize that some things are simply out of my control. You're right, all I can do is try to relax and find happiness in the fact that I've been given another chance at being a mommy.

    Thanks for the advice :)

    I am i the same boat.  We lost a baby at 8 weeks in December - we had not told a lot of people but for those that we did, it was incredibly hard to go back and tell them that the baby was gone.  

     

    I am just under 8 weeks again and we've kept this one to ourselves.  We're trying to wait until 12 weeks to tell the families.  I have an U/S next week but constantly worry about this little one growing inside of me.  I make comparisons to the last pregnancy and wonder "is it the same or different? Will I lose this baby..."   

     

    Working hard to keep hope high.  I wish you the absolute best!  I hope you're holding a little one in the Fall...all healthy and chubby!
