My first baby

Amy22

I miscarried last year & I'm pregnant again..this will be my first baby. Naturally, I'm terrified of miscarrying again. Any advice?

Don't concentrate on what could happen. Just because it happened once doesn't mean it will happen again. I hope all goes well for you this time

Stress can cause mc so focus on the life of your new baby and not the past so u will b a little less stressed...I'm happy your preggo and it will all work out....Congrats new mom2b

Thank you. I didn't have a "normal" miscarriage..I had what they call a blighted ovum. It's hard to explain but feel free to look it up.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it's hard....I just had a miscarriage in december and pregnant again at 7 weeks & I'm so nervous & get scared about everything...people keep telling me to not think like that, hope for the best, & plan for the baby to keep my mind off it...& that's what I'm doing, just wish the dr appt would come where I can hear a healthy heartbeat...I wish u the best & keep us posted on how you're doing!

Blighted ovum is sad, but at least you know you don't have problems carrying a baby. My cousin had 2 miscarriages (one in her 14th week) due to an incompetent cervix and low progesterone so in a way it's comforting you know you're not broken and it was just a sad fluke. Good luck, hon. Think positively. That's really all you can do. *hugs*
