Pregnancy after miscarriage

gingerlpn · July 2022

3 months following my first pregnancy (I didn’t know was possible) I am pregnant. I previously miscarried with my first that was unexpected. I found out in hospital. Hcg was 18, so they went back and forth saying I was pregnant, then not.

Last period was may 23 2022. (7 weeks)Conception June 5 or 10. I planned this pregnancy after Learning I could even become pregnant.

I am 33 years old, had hcg tested. Was 449, and am convincing myself I’m going to lose this baby or it’s not even present. I have an ultrasound in four days to determine things. Just and over thinker from jump street.

My symptoms first pregnancy which I miscarried, were so rapidly up and down. I reached the highest hcg right before miscarriage at an hcg of 133.

Symptoms now are progressing normally (super painful/sensitive nipples, so hungry and fatigued/mood swings.) I just can’t stop convincing myself to wait for the worst

It's so difficult to experience pregnancy after having a miscarriage. Every little thing causes worry. You never quite feel like you're in the safe zone.
I know it's easier said than done, but the best thing you can do for yourself is try to find some way to get some peace. Worrying too much doesn't accomplish anything except causing more stress and anxiety.

If you can, try to take some time every day to either meditate or just practice working on calming racing thoughts. Journaling might help as well. When I'm really anxious, I like to tell myself "this pregnancy has just as much of a chance of succeeding as failing" because I've notice that I trap myself in a cycle of negative thinking and doom & gloom. I've also had success with downloading and using apps intended for anxiety (I do have anxiety and PgAL worry is very similar). I've heard of some people giving themselves a set amount of time that they're allowed to worry as much as they want and when the time is up, they're not allowed to worry anymore. There are a bunch of things you can try that might help you get through the hard parts.

I truly hope you're able to find some relief from your fear and go on to have a happy, healthy pregnancy 🤞🏻 best of luck
