After a previous miscarriage, at what point did you start to relax during your next pregnancy?

I been waiting for you to update! Lol.. I am so glad that everything is okay..I just love that this is going well for you!

I only had one loss and I told my self at 12 weeks I would calm down.

Nope. Every week I just couldn't wait for the next week just to be further into my pregnancy..

When I was a couple weeks 17 weeks sounded like it was far into a pregnancy but once i hit 17 weeks i felt like it was nothing. every week was like that! i just couldn't wait to get her here! that way i knew she would be okay. Now that she is here I worry even more!

Your whole pregnancy and motherhood is going to be filled with nothing but worry!!

Seriously. Once you start showing or once he starts moving you will feel better! .. until he doesn't move as much and you freak out! Lol

My point is... I don't think I ever stopped worrying that I would lose her.. but I think around the third month I did start to feel better.

I don't know if you use any site or read any books but www.babycenter.com has a week by week development thing where you can see what your baby looks like and what he's doing. That really really helped pass the time. I looked forward to it every week.

And its so cool to see your bean develop! Its great..

I really am happy for you and I know I haven't met you or don't know you but really I am... I want so much for every women who wants it to experience pregnancy. It is a wonderful thing. Even with the pains and sickness and the aches and the worries. Its just amazing.

Keep up with the updates!

I'm 23 weeks 6 days today, started relaxing since I started feeling my baby girl move - from about 16 weeks. I get really nervous with my ultrasound appointments until I see the baby and the sonographer says all looks good. I think its natural to worry as you don't have any assurances of how your baby is until you start feeling him/her. But once you go past your first trimester, you'll really feel the difference, have a confidence that always keeps telling you everything will be ok. Not long from now, hang in there. You'll be much more delighted in the coming weeks.

Is your morning sickness getting better?

Good luck and take care hun

I'm so glad your ultrasound went well!

For me it was actually quite early. I think once I got past about 10 weeks and I could pick up the hb on my doppler then I started to relax. But I'd already had a healthy problem free pregnancy before my losses, so I think it was a bit different for me. I knew my body could do it.

You probably aren't going to relax for a long time fully. All you can do is set yourself little milestones and count down the days until you reach each one. Before you know it you will have a kicking bump and then you can stop worrying about losing the pregnancy and start to worry about all the other things that parents worry about!

for me not until after the 20 week ultrasound and when i started to feel her regularly and show properly. i tried to relax before that at 12 and 16 weeks but just couldnt!

it sounds like all is well with your little one though and you should definitely try to relax and i know its easier said than done! xx

Once I heard the heartbeat at 11 weeks and we made it to 13 weeks I felt a lot better. Good Luck and Congrats!!!

I dont think of i replace into in a position to loosen up till finally my 2nd trimester while i replace into in a position to experience the child flow around. Then i began out to loosen up yet I nevertheless concern each and every now and then. Congratulations and solid success!

i didnt relax till afte 13 weeks when i was in my second trimester i felt better because thats when they say the risk drops way off
