Okay, so now that I'm pregnant, i'm so paranoid of miscarrying again. Everything I do, I'm like, "oh, maybe I shouldn't be doing that." Like lifting the laundry bags at work. Have any of you ever miscarried before? How did you enjoy the next pregnancy without worrying the whole time?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am pregnant with number 2 and it is normal to worry. Its all l ever do, but babies are stronger then we ever think. It easy to say not to worry but then hard to follow thru (speaking from experience).But you have to think positive. People have said not too lift heavy items that would weigh more then a toddler would.
Stay away from hot baths,showers and saunas,and eat a healthy diet. Easier said then done when you have morning sickness.
But babies are tough, thats what you need to remember. Best advice is take care of yourself.

Why don't you talk to your Dr. and get some do's and don'ts just to be on the safe side? I've never miscarried but I do understand the paranoia.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Not worrying after miscarriage is near impossible - at least for me. I had three and each time it got a little harder to hope, but here I am 36 weeks pregnant.
Just remember that the chance that you actually did something to cause your miscarriage is slim to none. So, don't spend time examining your every move, wondering if you might hurt the baby. As long as you're not doing dangerous things like drugs or drinking, etc. you're okay. Try to keep life as normal as possible.
Another thing that I hope will encourage you is that having one miscarriage does not lessen your chance at a successful pregnancy this time. The odds that your baby will be healthy and thrive are the same as a woman who has never miscarried. It's only when you get into multiple miscarriages that chance of another increases.
I think once you get past the gestational week of the baby you lost, you will start relaxing a bit. Just remember that God has His hand in this situation and He will take care of you.

I never did relax; I walked on eggshells the whole pregnancy. I had a missed m/c and got pregnant two weeks later, which they say to never do because it's too dangerous and I freaked out everytime I had a twitch or twinge and kept thinking 'this is it', but I'm happy to say the pregnancy went on without a hinge and my baby is now 17 months and we're 19 weeks pregnant with twins now.
Just try to relax, pregnancies can endure all kinds of things and like Jazzbird said, it gets easier after you pass that gestational point when you misscarried. I wish you all the luck

My current mantra is, "Lord, thank you for today". I figure that's just about all I can do - thank God for what we have, and leave it up to him. Oh, apart from getting our entire church praying!

I miscarried the first time I was pregnant. This time around I kept thinking any little pain could be the end. Finally I had to learn to trust God.
I'm now 20 weeks pregnant.
