DH and I m/c at 5 weeks in mid-january of this year. I am pregnant again, only 4 weeks right now.
I think (obsess is more like it) about it every minute of the day it seems...
is the baby still alive?
will I be able to keep the baby and have a fullterm pregnancy?
are my boobs still sore?
have I lost pregnancy symptoms?
have my numbers doubled?
I know that this is real, I really am pregnant, but I have overwhelming fears of m/c again.
Now I know that if by some tragic chance I do lose the baby, it's part of God's plan I know, but that really doesn't comfort me right now.
I need your help. I need suggestions, advice, tips, etc. from all of you that have been through this before.
I still have to function as a person... at home and at work, and can't keep obsessing about all this like I am. I know it's not healthy.
Help, please!!

I'm sorry about your loss. It's perfectly normal to feel this way. Try to relax and think positive. Enjoy each day of being pregnant. Also, you are more than welcome to stick around with us. You might also want to try the Pregnant After Loss board, too. Those ladies are awesome and can relate and maybe give more advice. G/L to you. Please keep us posted on how you're feeling.

I am so sorry, I didn't see that board.
You must think I'm completely insensitive.
I feel horrible.
Sorry!

Welcome! i am in exactly the same boat. 4wks too. my sil called and asked me lots of questions....since i just had a loss april 1st. (she has had 2 in a year) she was obsessing over my feelings and fears. (she is soooooo sweet) and ill tell you what i told her. if something is going to happen it doesnt matter WHAT i do. nothing in the everyday things that i do will cause a miscarriage. (at first i was comparing also) i have a choice, i can either make myself miserable worring about the could be's.......or i can cherish every moment i have with this pregnancy and just wish for the best. i know its hard....sooooooooo hard. but i will hope that you can try to think positive as much as you can, and never blame yourself. please try to enjoy every moment bc every single day will be a milestone that you should celebrate. i am going to TRY my darndest to take my own advice.
i am soo very sorry for your loss and your fears. please know that you are not alone, and if you need anyone here, we are there! i wish you the best of luck, smile and think wonderful baby thoughts!
