Anybody know how to deal with anxiety after mc
So miscarried Oct 22nd at 8wks and now I’m pregnant again tested positive Nov 27th but not sure how many weeks I may be. I’m experiencing bloating and a hard stomach which I had last time. I do get a small sharp pain now and again and I am anxious every time and try not to move too much when I feel it as I remember the pain of the Miscarriage still. I’ve been so fortunate to conceive twice in space of two months. We’re going into Dec now so I’m sure by the end of Dec I might start showing as it’ll be a month or two in. I was supposed to be 3months in December but after mc I’m super nervous with this new pregnancy. Does anybody else have similar thoughts or know how to cope and ensure yourself and stop stress so it won’t happen again.

I had a private scan to put my mind at ease before the nhs one for my pregnancy after my mc. The anxiety it awful but I just used to remind myself everyday I am still pregnant until I'm not. It became so much easier once I could feel baby kicking and I did set little milestones in my own head. Which helped me. The anxiety for me though never fully went away until I had my baby xx

Hi Amy, I was in the same boat as you, I miscarried in September found out I was pregnant again in the October, now in week 10, I had a few occasions of spotting around week 6 (didn’t know how far along I was) so called 111 who booked me in the early pregnancy centre they took my bloods to check my hcg which was high enough for a scan and I measured at 6w6d, having this scan really helped to put my mind at ease after the mc but I still am anxious about it happening again, checking every time I pee, every slight ache/pain it is hard but all you can do is hope and wait 😓 but it might be worth trying to get an early scan if possible just put your mind at ease!
