Pregnant After Recurrent Loss

Hi everyone, I've been lurking and reluctant to post because of my fear of jinxing anything (something I hear is common in women who become pregnant after MC). I've had 3 MC's and 1 chemical pregnancy. I'm currently 9w4d. I was put on leave from my job due to a subchorionic bleed. So far, it looks as if it has resolved.
I'm supposed to go back to work in mid-Feb and I'm terrified. My main concern is that I'm a nurse and my job is stressful and requires a lot of heavy lifting, pushing and pulling, which is just the tip of the iceberg.
Are there other nurses out there who are high risk? All my MC's occurred when I was working. Granted, this is the furthest I've come and I don't want anything to go wrong. I have no living children and all I want is to have my Rainbow Baby.
I'm in need of some positive vibes, tips, personal stories, anything to help me relax.
Sending love to all of you.

@branbruen Thank you for sharing your experiences. Working a stressful job surely doesn't help, but you're giving me hope so I thank you again.
@pbandjyummies Thank you very much for the thoughts
Do they know the cause(s) of your losses? My OB assumes my MC were tied to my thyroid, which is now under control. My thyroid was monitored very closely during my last pregnancy and this one, and I also took progesterone supplements to help support a sticky baby. Just wondering if you are able to do anything similar to help along a high risk pregnancy.

@kmwills Since my MC's happened very early on, my OB said it could be genetics, meaning the baby just was not developing properly. I was tested for different things (e.g. Thyroid level, shape of my uterus, just to name a couple things), and the doctor did not find anything wrong. This of course was frustrating. However, it was found that my Progesterone levels were low in my last pregnancy. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I started taking supplements that I had from my previous pregnancy. I'm hoping this one sticks!
