how to handle your rainbow pregnancy without freaking out?

Hi, i have two sunshine babies(babies before a loss) one angel baby(lost to miscarriage), and now a rainbow baby pregnancy(baby after a loss). Im 11weeks with my rainbow, and am stressing over every ache and paim. Everytime i pee im checking for blood. I just want to relax and enjoy this pregnancy, its truely a blessing and my stress is making it feel like a burden in way. Not the baby just the pregnancy in general, like all the stress and worrying is making it a very uncomfortable and unenjoyable experience. I want to enjoy it, any tips on how any of you made it threw your rainbow pregnancies peacefully and made it enjoyable?

I had a miscarriage in Feb. Of 2014. And in May of 2014 I got pregnant with my ( rainbow baby boy) I had lost a boy a few months before in the miscarriage.. at the last few weeks of when the first baby had been lost. I was freaking out as you are... I was really paranoid.. then a few months after that I was still a little scared.. until the last 2 months of my pregancy.. Now he is 10 months and healthy as can be! The whole time of my pregancy with my baby boy... I did enjoy it because of the fact that I was given another chance to have my baby that was lost to my little family just months before..  even though I was scared for the lost of losing him as well.. now I'm going on my third pregancy.. with a little girl and I'm still a bit scared but I enjoy it every moment... don't let the fear of losing your baby stop you from enjoying the oppertunity with this one! :)

I had a miscarriage in September of 2014 and got pregnant again April of this year. I was a nervous wreck at first but honestly the only thing that got me threw it was praying to God every single day. That's really only the advice I have. Now I'm 34w 4d pregnant with a healthy baby boy :) it's hard to not over think it but be as positive as you can and trust that you will have a healthy pregnancy this time around and truly try and enjoy it :) I'll be praying for you!
