New here- miscarried last pregnancy and now I’m so scared

Hello everyone. I’m 9w 5d today and just had my first appointment on Tuesday and ultrasound on Wednesday. I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks last time in 2022 and we have been trying ever since. Everything looks good on the ultrasound so far. I had an oral surgery at 6 weeks and I was still it to sleep. They asked me twice if I was pregnant and I had taken a text at 6 weeks and got a negative result so I thought nothing of it. But I took a test the next week and it was positive right away. With having a miscarriage and also being put to sleep, not to mention I’m 37 and classified as morbidly obese, I was in full panic mode. But as I said everything looked ok. I’m scared to let myself be excited and I keep telling my husband not to tell anyone till next month, he hasn’t listened. This will be his first and my 3rd. I have two beautiful girls from my late husband. I purchased a fetal Doppler and plan to check on baby here and there but I haven’t been able to find the heartbeat. I’m just so nervous but I want to be happy and excited. I just keep taking the nausea and constipation as a good sign. I’ll take any words of encouragement or advise. Thanks

    Just sending solidarity. I've had a couple of losses so I understand the anxiety very much! I'm only just over 4 weeks so far but feeling like I can't enjoy the pregnancy until i'm past the first trimester.

    First of all, congratulations. After everything you've been through, it makes complete sense that you're feeling excited and terrified at the same time.

    Seeing a good ultrasound is such a reassuring milestone. I know it's hard not to worry, but try to take it one appointment, one week, and one day at a time. I also found it helpful to focus on the things I could control, like staying hydrated, eating when I could, and keeping up with my Babyblues prenatal vitamins or any vitamins you have are taking.
