Past Miscarriage

[lacy_klein]

Hi, I'm Lacy & 21 living with my fiancée and we just found out I am 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant. It's his first and would be my second except I miscarried almost 2 years ago.

I married at 19, moved to NC, got pregnant in February and miscarried at about 3 1/2 months and divorced at 20 soon after and didn't date for a year. Met my fiancée this past May and have been dating 8 months and are now pregnant.

He is excited, and I am too but I am more worried I will miscarry. I didn't think I could get pregnant and wanted to so badly because after a loss of a child, you want to be a mother more than anything. But for some reason, I am so frightened if I do miscarry, what are the odds? Because, I've heard most first time pregnancies turn into miscarriages and it is more normal than people think.

Am I just psyching myself out? Should I be more excited with my fiancée?

I miscarried at 18 weeks on my first pregnancy. I got pregnant again almost exactly a year later, and had a healthy baby girl. I am now pregnant again, with another little boy this time. Im 19+1 and still doing good!

Try and not stress and think positive. A miscarriage before does not increase odds of it happening again unless there is an actual medical reason why you miscarried first time. Unfortunately it is incredibly common but at your age the odds are in your favour. Stress does play a major part but try and relax and enjoy the pregnancy. Best wishes this one sticks xx

I was the exact same way. I miscarried at 5 1/2 months and after finding out I was pregnant again I was just terrified of it happening again. I think is normal to worry after having a miscarriage. Once I hit 24 weeks and knew that if I had my baby anytime he would most likely be okay I started to get excited. I think being worried and not super excited is a way we just protect ourselves from getting hurt again.
