Hi can relate to how you're feeling. I had a miscarriage earlier this year at 11.5 weeks. I have had three healthy pregnancies and three losses. I have found that lots of symptoms or no symptoms have not meant anything to the outcome of my pregnancies. My last healthy pregnancy, other than nausea which didn't start until about 8 weeks, I had no symptoms whatsoever! No boob changes, nothing! And I had a healthy baby boy. This last pregnancy which I miscarried I had the works, really sore bosoms, vomiting, all of it from 3.5weeks. I totally get the worry but please take comfort in this. I just keep reminding myself that there is nothing you can do but hope for the best, the outcome good or sad is out of your hands. I'm so sorry you've been through this and congratulations on your bfp. I have high hopes for you that everything will be fine. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss and relate fully. I've just found out I'm pg again after a loss and I'm feeling on edge and scared and am generally just waiting on the other shoe to fall. As pp said, the outcome is out of our hands. We can be healthy and do our best to make our bodies a good host for our precious babes and then hope that they can hang on and grow. As someone who has gone through a pregnabcy after a loss before, it's my experience that the worry is always there. It primes us for the big fears that set in after Baby is here! It took a journey for me to not let the fear of what ifs completely take my joy out of motherhood. I've also stared the brink of realizing the ultimate terror right in the eyes when we learned the hard way that my dd has a genetic disorder that nearly took her life. We now know how to control it. You find that, as Pooh said, you're stronger than you think. All the best for you in the remainder of this pregnancy.
