Pregnant after mc

Had a miscarriage in October, found out yesterday we are pregnant again! ✨ I’m so happy but I’m so scared. I’m almost 5 weeks according to my last menstrual period. We are wanting to keep it to ourselves for now, however I have a job heavy lifting some days- is it just my anxiety or can this cause problems? Feel like I’m going to worry about everything 100x more now.

Yes heavy lifting is very dangerous I wouldn't advise doing it expesially in early early pregnancy

@Natalie I thought this but then started googling and that made it sound not so bad however I am worrying it is x

Yeah heavy lifting is dangerous I'm 10 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby and iv not lifted anything heavy, they say straining your belly is bad xx

I was in the same position last year, miscarried in the November fell pregnant in January. If you tell your work they will need to do a risk assessment so that your risk of lifting heavy is a minimum. I had this exact same worry !

Sending you all the love and baby dust! I'm also pregnant with my rainbow baby and feel super stressed about it. Feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to in a similar situation to you ☺️

I just found out we are 5 weeks, we had a miscarriage in 2024 as well and are also not telling most (1 friend each, though I have told 2 😬). I have overwhelming anxiety. We want this so bad.
