Pregnant after a loss

Wondering if there's anyone else on here that's pregnant after a late miscarriage? I lost my last baby at 18 weeks and I'm now 14 weeks pregnant. Things aren't getting easier, they're getting harder. I've had complications in all pregnancies so even drs are saying 'when' something happens not 'if'. I'm on partial bedrest, aspirin, weekly appts and 3 weekly scans.
Feeling so alone and worried ALL the time, being on partial bedrest means my mind or body is never really distracted. Nightmares are hard to shake and just constant paranoia and worry. Been seeing a therapist since last baby died but its just getting harder :(
I hope there's no one on here who's going thru this but it'd be nice to not be alone :(

Hello yes I have had a loss I won't ever forget it , ithas been the hardest part of my life I love you my angel baby! I lost my angel baby like around 8 weeks pregnant now I'm 23 weeks pregnant with a baby girl , even though I'm this farther along I till this day get so scared I mean anything can happen no matter how far a long a women is. Till this day I cry because it still hurts me i haven't healed yet and I don't even know if I will , you are not alone if u ever need to talk u can message me ! I also thought I was alone I have my husband but he's a man I felt he didn't understand what I was going through. My family have never gone through a loss like I did I also felt they never understand me either because they never felt what I till this day feel , I felt like if to them was nothing. Stay strong and have faith everything will be okay with God nothing is impossible! I am now very blessed everything is going well with my baby girl. But stay positive.

I lost my last one in January 2015 and I was 11 weeks. I don't know what caused it but I'm 13 weeks with this pregnancy and I found out at 8 weeks that my progesterone was low bc I started spotting. So maybe that is what happened last time but I don't know bc I didn't have blood work done last time. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I had my first healthy baby in 2009  I'm hoping and praying hard for this one but it is hard not to worry and be paranoid. I haven't heard the heartbeat since 8 weeks and I don't go back to the dr until next week when I'll be 14 weeks. So I don't know if baby is ok or not. With my miscarriage I thought everything was fine bc I had no signs of miscarriage until I had my first ultrasound at 10 weeks and they found no heartbeat. So I was shocked bc I had no cramping and no bleeding and all pregnancy symptoms were still there. That's why this time I'm paranoid until I hear a heart beat and then I'm paranoid again until I hear it again at the next appointment.

I've had the same issues with 3 of my other pregnancies so its safe to assume some issues will come into this pregnancy. Sadly it wasnt a regular miscarriage (be easier if it was) but there was an actual cause :( so unfortunately I'm not in the same vein as people who have gone onto have healthy pregnancies. I've only had 1 ok pregnancy and that was my first and this is my 6th.
