I was 5 weeks yesterday and currently telling very close friends and family but sadly in the back of my mind I’m terrified of loss. Cant seem to shake the fear so it’s very much a battle in my mind. You aren’t alone ❤️
I had a silent miscarriage beginning of September, I should have been around 10 weeks but lost and around 6. I am now pregnant again, currently at 6 weeks. I fell pregnant super fast. I’m dreading this week. I have a private scan booked on 2/12 🤞 I think until then, I will be on edge. I’m constantly checking the paper when I wipe and I feel every pull and cramp. What is getting me through this, is that my symptoms are more intense, sickness tenderness ect🤞🤞
Thank you all xxx
Yes I’m terrified too! We’ve been trying for a year through iui and ivf and we haven’t told anyone except close friends who knew what we going through. Don’t want to tell anyone until we see it for real. Got my 6 week scan next week so will hopefully be more relaxed then x
I'm terrified too! We suffered a loss in July through mmc and every single thing is worrying me. From the twinges, wiping when I go to the toilet and checking every time I stand up. We're booked in for an early scan 2/12, but might even book one for next week. You're not alone! Xxx
I’m the same! I had an early miscarriage in March and a missed miscarriage in September which really was scary, I had to be admitted to hospital! This time is more of a shock and not expected as we weren’t really trying but thankful I’m feeling much more sick than I did the last two times but still checking every time I go to the toilet and worrying at every cramp
Your feelings are completely valid. After two years of trying and the challenges of PCOS, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed now that this long-awaited moment is real. The fear of something going wrong comes from how much this matters to you, and that makes perfect sense. It’s okay to feel scared. I am, too, because the early weeks are full of uncertainty, and it’s hard not to worry about things we can’t control. But try to remind yourself that every milestone so far is good news. The positive tests, the scan, and the confirmation of the sac are all steps in the right direction. When the fear creeps in, grounding techniques can help, focus on the small positives of each day, like caring for your body and celebrating each passing week. It might also help to connect with others who’ve experienced similar emotions, as they can offer reassurance and understanding. You’re not alone in this, and your fear is a sign of how much love you already have for your little one.
