Hi Shar,

I've been fortunate to never had a mc but like most people I've had family members & friends who have, and TBH I think most of us worry about it.

ATM I am almost ready to pop, and I'm still staying away from forums relating to loss of any kind. I have a mind that will latch onto the tiniest thing to worry about and make it reallly big, kwim? So I know the best thing for me personally is to avoid anything that gives my mind something to play with.

I was 4 1/2 week when I found out this time so I had loads of time to worry about mc... and then I started to worry about other things ...but that's just me, although as I said most of us worry to some degree.

So what I do is
- stay away from any forums or stories of loss;
- try and focus as much as possible on positives rather than fears
- keep reminding myself that this really is in the hands of God / fate / the universe, whatever your belief is - there are things we can do to lessen the risk but nothing we can do to guarantee things.

Strangely enough the other thing that helps is knowing that it's pretty normal to worry. With my last PG (number 3 for me as this one is for you) I was freaking out the whole way through and I was convinced it was my intuition telling me things were wrong. Then when the birth didn't go as planned I was convinced that I 'knew' something was up. BUT - here we arewith DS2 7 years later, everything was and is just fine

And this time I am fortunate enough to have found BB & the forums here which are great for reassuring you that there is at least one other person out there going through what you are, and it's pretty normal. It helps rest my mind. No, you're not crazy!

HTH Good luck hun enjoy the rest of your PG
