Pregnancy after loss

I’m currently 3+6 weeks pregnant after we lost a baby in October at 5+1. I found out at 3+2 so super early and the excitement has very quickly turned into crippling anxiety. Any tips to stop me from spiralling? 😞

Try and stay calm, I know it's hard. When you get to the 6 week mark get a private scan done or go to your EPU for reassurance. It's always harder when find out early I find.

@Andrea we have one booked for the 23rd 🤞🏼

Congratulations 🩷

@Danielle thank you so much! I hope you’re doing okay ♥️

I can’t tell you to stop worrying everything will be okay but that’s not realistic even without loss pregnancy is a worrying time I lost two one in 2020 and another In 23, on the 31st October 2024 at 5:08am i Wellcomed my double rainbow beautiful baby boy it will happen I was shiting my self when I found out I was pregnant again but the more I worked the more stress I was putting on my body the things that got me through every time I felt like I was starting to spiral: book a few days break,listening to music,hang out with family or friends,colouring or baking and just going for a walk xxx Good luck and congratulations xx

@Courtney thank you ♥️

When you get worrying about what might happen just try to catch yourself and remind yourself that right now in this moment all is well, and this moment is the only one that’s real. There are some situations where thinking about bad things that might happen can help you prevent them, but for the most part this isn’t one of those times. So it’s really ok to let the fear go. It will keep coming back but you just keep reminding yourself about staying in this moment and choosing happiness instead. I know when I had my miscarriage I knew from the start that something was wrong and I tried not to get too excited but once I did lose that pregnancy I realized that trying not to get my hopes up hadn’t helped me at all and on the contrary I’m so grateful for the brief period right before the end when I thought there might be a chance and let myself feel happy and optimistic. It’s a great comfort to think that little embryo might have somehow felt my love and hope and not only my fear
