Pregnant after a Loss

Hi all. I've only been lurking this board (been posting a little in May birth month). I didn't want to jump in too early just to have to bow out. My name is Ashley. This is my second pregnancy. I experienced a loss at 9 wks last time which occurred naturally, and I hadn't had an ultrasound yet so no idea when he/she stopped growing and never saw a heartbeat.
This time I'm scared to death (a familiar feeling around here I know). I'm 10w6d today and have had 2 ultrasounds so far that looked great (hb 130 @ 7w1d, hb 182@ 9w2d, both measured spot on for edd of May 31). I have my 12w appt on Monday and while I'm not expecting an ultrasound, I'm optimistic to hear the heartbeat again.
I'm just really wondering when you girls start to relax a little, if ever. I'm so anxious leading up to each appt, I can't sleep or eat. I keep thinking once I know things are good this time then I'll feel better and I do feel better for a couple days but then the worry takes over again. I know you all understand where I'm coming from. So in your experiences, were you able to breathe a little sigh of relief after you hit the 12w appt healthy or am I destined to continue being a basket case the whole pregnancy?
I wish I could reach out and hug you all btw, I feel like I know so many of you from reading your stories both positive and negative. And I promise to try and stop lurking! Lol
