I can't stop myself from thinking that...

this is going to be another m/c. I know I should try to be excited or think positively but that's all I keep thinking about. Eas or anyone else out there got any advice??

I don't have any advice. We're all hoping it's a sticky one, but I don't think that alone will do it.
If you want to get your mind of things for like 2 minutes, check out our post below, we all had some good laughs about ourselves. Especially at my expense.
Aw I'm sorry Anna. I understand where you're coming from. Just take things one day at a time. Try not to schedule appointments or anything too far in advance if you don't have to. The phrase "today I am pregnant" came out of my mouth a lot during the beginning of this pregnancy. Just live in the moment as best as you can and try not to dwell on what may or may not happen. There's not much you can do to save a doomed pregnancy, and there's not much you can do to shake a healthy one.

Well, it's really hard not to do that. It's a possibility of course and you know that.
But what good does it do to worry and fret? You already know it won't change the outcome. You know already that it won't protect you from feeling pain or sadness, only prevent you from feeling any joy in the prospect of this pregnancy.
You've already been through a m/c. You know that while it is a truly awful experience, that you will live through it and come out the other side if it happens again.
Push the thoughts away from you and just live your life. Get to know this baby and enjoy whatever time you are given with this child.

Thanks leslie! I keep trying to tell myself one day at a time so we'll see what happens. I guess I'm just getting a little anxious about going on our trip in 3 weeks if I'm still pregnant since I'll be out of the country during the time when I m/c last time around.?
I had 2 prior to this, and I felt the same way earlier on. I never posted about it because I was so scared it would happen. Both times I was about to pass the day I mc'd before I held my breath just waiting for it...but it hasn't happened yet! So keep your chin up and take care of yourself and relax! You won't feel completely better until you're past the date, but you can do it!

ditto. I'm scared too about what will happen. My mantra is to take it one day at a time. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today I am pregnant.
