I carried a baby for 5 months then found out her heart had stopped. I was induced and delivered a stillborn little baby. Two and a half months later I was pregnant again. It was hard to not worry. I just tried to keep my mind on other things and not worry. Prayed a lot and counted down each day. I had my rainbow baby @36 weeks!!! Congratulations!!!!! I hope your baby sticks and you have your rainbow baby!!

Pregnancy after loss is a whole different beast. I always thought once i got to the point where i lost the others it would be easier but it wasn't. The worry doesn't go away, but once i started feeling her move every day it was better, but i still worried. I didn't let myself get attached to her until they put her in my arms. It was hard. My suggestion is to maybe find a counselor to talk to through the pregnancy. I'm praying this is your rainbow!

I’ve had 4 chemicals...some back to back. I did the same thing w the tests looking for them to get darker which only increased my anxiety. I know it’s hard but hang in there. Try to relax. Everything happens for a reason. Good luck.

I am feeling exactly the same way! After a miscarriage in September, I finally got another bfp last Friday. I took another test today to confirm that it was real. I find myself super nervous that this pregnancy will also end in a miscarriage and I am trying not to get excited, which is impossible! I am also over-analyzing every twinge I feel which is making me crazy! I hope that this feeling passes, but I'm not sure that anything will make me believe that this pregnancy will last until I'm way further along. Congrats on your BFP and know that there are other ladies out there who are just as nervous as you are!
