Hello my names is Sandy and I'm pregnant with my second child. I had a friend who lost her baby at 11weeks and I went through that loss with her like it was me. It still haunts me. Everything she was feeling I felt it with her. She is in such a deep depression that she says she can't really be happy for me. I miss the old her. I am only seven weeks along but I'm so afraid of losing this baby. Everyday I think of my friend and this fear overwhelms me. I think of how she told me her breasts stopped hurting a week before she found out. I catch myself touching my breasts everyday just to make sure they are still sore. lol I know it's silly but I'm scared to get too happy. In my mind I know once I get past eleven weeks I'll be okay, but will it be???

This is the furthest I have been in a pregnancy and I think @magnumJ is right - the fear just evolves. Maybe it's just being a mother - feeling like you want to do everything in your power to protect your child.
It's a struggle but just remember today you are pregnant - cherish it.
You're pregnant today- try to focus on that.

It's def not too late. Some women start at 14 weeks and go right up till they deliver. You'll be fine!
