I'm a worrier by nature, so I guess this should come as so surprise to me, but ever since getting my BFP two days ago I just can't stop worrying about having a MC. I've googled "chances of miscarriage by day/week" about a zillion times, and find myself checking for blood every time I go to the bathroom, plus I worry about every little twinge I have.
I know that there is nothing I can do to prevent it from happening, and I just need to let go of these worries and try to breathe a little easier as each day goes by. Is anyone/everyone else suffering from these worries? Any suggestions about how to calm the F down?

Re: Worries? (TW - discussing MC)
I also found some positive pregnancy affirmations and meditations on YouTube and am spending some time every night doing them. Definitely helps calm my worries and focus on loving my baby rather than worrying!

I will definitely be looking at it every single day. Since I ovulated on a Friday, I plan on finding a way to celebrate every Friday since I'll be hitting a new week then (and since I can't celebrate with happy hour like I used to...)
I've heard Circle+Bloom is a good series of meditations for pregnancy, but I haven't bought them yet.

I'm sorry, but telling someone who's worried about MC that worrying about it will only increase their chances of it actually happening is about the least helpful/most counterproductive thing you can do.
OP, I think having a little celebration each week is a great idea. I really like reading the updates on my apps each week as a way to just take a moment to appreciate the awesome development my baby has gone through in just a matter of days. Worrying is only natural at this stage - I spent about a month expecting AF to arrive after I got my BFP. The above chart really helped me, as well as the mantra 'today I am pregnant'. It won't take away your worries completely but it might help you deal with them, which is all you can do right now.
