I am sooo sorry to hear about your loss....and congrats to your new pregnancy! I understand completely what you are saying. I loss my son in december when I was 19 weeks pregnant due to my water breaking (Oct, 2001). I am now trying to get pg. again. Once you loose a pregnancy, you will always fel a sense of anxiety and fear about furture pregnancies...some of them rational and some irrational. The situation that happened to me was VERY uncommon, mostly all miscarriages happen in the first trimester. Try to take it one step at a time. Dont worry about what may happen (the chances of anything happening now are very slim). Instead focus on the fact that you ARE pregnant and will hold your little one soon. there is a great support group on spals.com (subsequesnt pregnancy after a loss support group). They are a great bunch of women, I think you would enjoy it and gain lots of info. hope this helps you, Jen
