You could be my long lost sister! I am in the exact situation and am nervous like you, My 1st pregnancy resulted in an early loss, then followed by a healthy pregnancy (which he is now 6 years old). In May of 2012 we were pregnant agin, but sadly resulted in a loss. I basically gave up hope, but still had faith and then a miracle happened and I just got my BFP. DH is happy, but refuses to get excited for fear of a m/c again. I understand completely, but I just feel different this time. I feel good and really positive! The last pregnancy I had, did not start out strong...so I had a funny feeling from the get go. I have faith that our babies are going to be healthy and strong! Here's to a happy healthy 9 months! It's nice to know that we have similar stories! Many blessings to you! :)

And one more thing....enjoy this moment right now...embrace how you feel right now! Don't live in worry...just deal with what comes to pass! :)

Easier said than done unfortunately. Wish I could turn the worry switch off. Good luck to you and congrats.

nice to know im not the only one in a similar situation, i lost my first baby in june, i am now pregnant again, but so so so anxious, i know its not healthy to worry all the time, but its so so hard! xx

Oh, you are definitely not the only one. A friend of mine had a miscarriage about a month after me and we were discussing how a positive pregnancy test will never bring that feeling of pure joy and excitement like the first one. Before we knew what the loss felt like. I'm still excited to have a baby and I want this so much, it's just a scary time and there is nothing you can do to control it. I try not to think about the due date or plan anything yet.
In case you want some reassurance, I got pregnant with my son about 8 weeks after my first miscarriage (which was my first pregnancy). I had no issues with him and he is almost 14 months now. I was very nervous, especially the 1st trimester. Each week it gets easier and you relax a little. I guess I need to listen to my own advice.
I get HCG quant levels drawn 2 days apart in early pregnancy just to check progression and ease my mind. It's not the be all end all of diagnoses but it may help.
Good luck and congratulations.

I feel the same way. I got my BFP this past Monday after having a MC in Jan. I keep testing everyday to see if the test gets darker, bc I don't have a appointment until next Thursday and I feel like I'm going to drive myself crazy. I just hope everything is ok. I have mild cramping and pressure on my sides which scares me as well.

How was the appt? I hope it went well and everything is going well.
