Pregnant after MC worries

Hi! I’m 13 weeks with my second, although my last pregnancy ended around 9 weeks (I also have a 5 year old daughter). I have been very paranoid this time around especially with aches and pains. We saw little one at 7 weeks via ultrasound and all looked very healthy! I also just had my first OB appointment and heard a strong heartbeat :) I have been having some very uncomfortable pelvic/lower back pains for the past couple of weeks - they feel achy and dull, but sometimes with sharp little stabs, and tends to me much worse when I’ve been standing for long periods. I want to be reassured after hearing baby’s heartbeat, but I can’t stop worrying. Anyone experience similar pains that weren’t miscarriage related? Thanks ❤️

    @elisabeth_h_93 first off, I'm sorry for your loss. In my experience, once you've experienced a pregnancy loss, it's much harder to relax and have faith in subsequent pregnancies. Also, yes, I had a lot of lower back pain when I was pregnant with my youngest and being on your feet a lot will definitely exacerbate any lower back issues. I'd recommend prenatal yoga and regular back exercises. That, and changing my chair at work, helped me manage my back pain.
