Highly anxious 2nd time pregnancy after first miscarriage

Hi all. Had my first pregnancy that ended with in a miscarriage last year July. Back story: had my first obs appt, did a scan and doctor said it’s small, but doctor didn’t say how many weeks. I assumed it was around 8-10weeks from LMP. Doctor didn’t say much except will see in 1 week but didn’t even make it to 1 week when I started heavy bleeding and had a miscarriage a couple days later. It was traumatic and so heart breaking as I wasn’t aware I was going through miscarriage. I felt so alone. Just found out I’m pregnant mid Jan with the second pregnancy. Had my first obs appt yesterday and doctor said foetus is very small likely is 5weeks. Now that made really anxious and stressed out as same words were said abt the first pregnancy but doctor again didn’t say much just said see in 3weeks. Got home and I just bawled until I slept. The fear got over my emotions. Events of the first time just played again. I’m really worried. My heart feels broken already. Just wondering what I could do at this point. I really pray this baby grows in the next 3weeks or it will be another heart wrenching event. 😢

Hi there, I totally feel you as it’s my 2nd pregnancy now after my miscarriage last year April too. I found out I was pregnant around mid Jan. I’m currently waiting for my first gynae appointment at around 8 weeks in early Feb. Don’t stress yourself too much. I know how it feels to go through a miscarriage, the fear is so real.. I’m constantly checking for blood whenever I go to the toilet, worried if I have any sudden pain or abnormality. But try to remind yourself every pregnancy is different and rmb to just breathe. We can do it! 💪🫶
