hi guys:)
I'm 5 weeks, 1 day and already super excited for my baby!!
I m/c last year and trying so hard not to worry about doing so this time, any tips on how to keep the healthiest I can for my baby, to ensure a happy and healthy pregnancy! :) x

Smichellec:It was the first time in my life in was properly taking care of myself, I did what I thought was right. The only thing that I feel may have contributed to my miscarriage is that I got the flu vaccine, it may be coincidental but I got it around the same time my baby stopped growing. But the doctors also told me that it could happen to the healthiest of people, that it's more than likely that their may have been something wrong with its development or compatibility with life. I was told it's nothing that I did, these things just happen. I'm living in Ireland and they don't examine and investigate the possible causes until you have your 3rd miscarriage. Please don't worry about anything going wrong, worry is only putting your body under stress. I'm aware of my anxiety and worry this time and I'm trying to be good to myself, to think positively and enjoy the pregnancy. Just relax and enjoy the ride, and if your stressed everyone is very good on this site, we're all here to support one another ;-) I hope this helps

I'm also due the 31st and I miscarried September 2014. This is my 4th pregnancy, I have to older children. I'm worried and cautious but trying to let excitement and positivity be the primary feeling. I read an article from the Mayo Clinic that made me feel better - only 5% have a second miscarriage right after the first. And only 1% have a third. So tell people if you want and let yourself be excited. I'm trying to just take each day at a time.

Foley: if you dont mind me asking... did they have a reason for your mc? Im a ftm as well and did everything wrong before knowing I was pregnant. Some days I worry I may not carry full term...never have had an mc though. Thanks!

I'm in the same position. I miscarriaged in October, I'm 5w 3 days and first time mum to be. I'm just trying to stay away from the caffeine and taking my folic acid and trying to eat healthy. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm excited but cautious this time!!!
