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. 😢

Hello! Just sharing. I also had a miscarriage last year April and found out I was pregnant at end of Dec. I got fever for 3 days in mid Jan and went to A&E and got informed the baby can't be kept and will miscarriage. They mentioned it was leaking pregnancy tissue ( cause I was bleeding) and the sac is lower and cervix dilated or smth. I was devastated and really anyhow eat even tot I got diabetes. And My bday was my first appointment but turned out to be my checkout if it has flow out. And miracle happen!!! during the scan the nurse told me my baby is well and even have heartbeat! We were feeling super confuse, thankful and scared too! cause I was bleeding throughout till now so I didn't have doubt on the doc words! my point of sharing is just telling you, don't worry so much if it's meant to stay it will stay! Just have lots of rest and eat balance diet!
