4 losses, pregnant again... NERVOUS!

I found out on Monday (8/10/15) that I am pregnant again. I have had 4 losses in the last year, 3 early MC's and my last in May was a D&C at almost 10 weeks.
We have an almost 4 year old, first pregnancy, no big complications, easy-ish labor, etc.
I want another baby, we tried for over a year before I got pregnant again and had my first MC, since then I just can't seem to keep babies in my uterus
I just don't know how to shake the eerie feeling something will go wrong, it scares the crap out of me.
Any advice from those who have gone through MMC and can see the light at the end of the tunnel now? After a heartbeat last time, I got excited and it ended horribly, it's just so hard not to expect the same outcome
My OB is running a full hormone panel and I am on 100mg progesterone daily. We will change its dosage if needed.

Re: 4 losses, pregnant again... NERVOUS!
My D&C went to pathology and there was absolutely nothing genetically wrong. Strong heartbeat at 6.5 weeks and then lost it somewhere during week 7 or 8.
It is so hard to be positive but I am trying.
If your doctor is testing you, too, then they should find something if something's there. Since you already have a child I would assume that everything will check out with you, but if your OB is only checking your hormone levels, then you could always ask her to check for clotting disorders or vitamin deficiencies like MTHFR (I found out that I have that after my loss), too. If you're really concerned, and I was, too, you could always see a fertility specialist just to get answers. Your insurance will definitely cover it at this point and they'll check both you and your husband thoroughly. We did it and we felt like we were in great hands.
