How Do you shake that fear of m/c?

[turtleschell]

So I have finally got my BFP, and have scheduled a date scan for next week. I've had ms and heightened sense of smell, bloating and feeling really tired, and also very scatterbrained lately! So I guess all the symptoms are there, which is a great sign.

I'm so happy and excited, but I feel reluctant to let myself believe it, itms? I just know it'll devastate me if things go wrong, and i won't be able to even enjoy this till we get past that 3month mark.

Is anyone else like me?

[Ahurani]

Congrats hun!

I dont think you do iykwim. Kinda just take 1 day at a time

[turtleschell]

Thanks Ahurani, I think you're right! Sweet torture really. How are you going?

[Elocin]

*Raises hand*

I'm EXACTLY the same Hun. I got my BT results yesterday and my numbers are great. My test lines are darker than the control line.

But I am FREAKING out that it's not going to end well. I'm already wishing away the next couple of months away...

I don't know how to stop it, I don't know how to make it go away... I wish I did.

[Ahurani]

One day at a time :/

[~Stoked~]

I agree with Ahurani. The fear never leaves. One day at a time is the best approach.

ETA pressed enter too soon.. Wanted to say Congratulations!

Hugs Ahurani xx

Congratulations! That's such great news!

To answer your question, I'm with Ahurani. It's just day by day. I remember with Moo I was so stressed that first trimester, I was so sure something was going to happen. This time I'm more relaxed but it's still at the back of my mind everyday, especially having gone through a recent m/c. Good luck with the scan!

I was in this situation and you just have to believe that it's going to be okay and that was the only thing that got me through. The first trimester felt like it was about 40 weeks long and I didn't really relax until after 25 weeks with DD. This pregnancy is the same, I'm 16 weeks and just POAS to check. *sigh*

I stressed out the whole pregnancy after my mc. Even once I passed the mark of when I lost my bubba.
Even now, im pregnant again and still stress out. I think they are all normal feelings and like Ahurani said, judt take it one day at a time xx

[STARRYSKY]

Exactly as the others have said , "one day at a time" . I dont think that feeling of trepidation ever really left me, tbh it still hasnt to a certain degree, I dont think it ever will, as a parent there is Always something else to worry about in regards to your child, ALWAYS. lol, sorry, I dont mean that to sound so down :/
it would be nice to be innocent of all "that can go wrong" we are TTC atm, and I am **** scared every time I POAS because as much as I want 2 lines, Im not looking forward to the whole emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy emotions and symptoms again...itms?

Sending you heaps of sticky vibes gorgeous, one day at a time xxx

[turtleschell]

Oh it feels so good to hear everyone else's stories.
Sending everyone :stickyvibes:
I just hope my dating scan tells me I'm 12 weeks along..

[AMumma]

This is my first pregnancy but its so scary.

Im 10weeks 1 day today, every day I wake up hoping for a sign (sore boobs, MS/nausea and my belly still firm). I havent had a scan yet, its not until the 19th. Even then I cant see Ill relax until bubs is here.

Congratulations

I believe the fear never leaves!!! We tried for 3 1/2 years with alot of ups and downs in that time and now I am 27 weeks and i still constantly stress something will go wrong

Sending sticky vibes your way
