Stories of full term pregnancies after miscarriage

Could people share their stories about their successful full term pregnancies after having a miscarriage? I’ve been reading the other miscarriage threads and honestly I think it is scaring me more than helping me because of all of the people my heart is breaking for.
My husband and I started trying in October 2022. We had a chemical pregnancy in February at 5w1d. I did a lot of reading on miscarriages after that. I had no idea how common they were and maybe I would have taken it a little easier if I had known. My best friend is also trying and going through the same issues, so that has been helpful to have someone close to talk to that understands. But she hasn’t had a successful pregnancy yet either.
This time around they did blood tests to confirm my pregnancy at 4w3d and 4w6d. The levels were what they expected and growing so that made me feel a little better.
I’m at 5w2d today. I felt a little better when I got past the point of my chemical pregnancy last time, but I’m still cautious with my heart and telling others. We told just a couple very close people and we probably won’t tell anyone else until week 14 or 16.
I think I won’t feel any better until after my first ultrasound which is scheduled for 9w4d.
I honestly wish I felt more sick. That might make me feel better mentally. During my chemical pregnancy, I felt sick for a couple days and then nothing, so feeling not sick now makes me worry. I didn’t have cramping until the loss during my chemical pregnancy. I have felt minor cramping on and off throughout week 4 and 5 so I’m hoping that means things are moving in the right direction.
I’m hoping this is my sticky baby. Having children is really the only thing I’ve wanted since as long as I came remember. And I worked hard to build a life, home, and relationship that would be good for my future family. I sometimes just feel like I’m being punished for waiting so long to start trying.
I wish the best for you all and your babies! Sticky babies for all!

And now I’m here again and still terrified but trying to be optimistic because I know my body can do this. The worry never goes away but the truth is most women who have one or more miscarriages go on to have healthy pregnancies.
I'm a rainbow baby. My mom's first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 13W, and as soon as she was cleared to TTC again, she got pregnant with me. Her pregnancy with me had no complications (and FWIW, her 1st trimester nausea was mild), and I was born perfectly healthy.
