I had a miscarriage last year(first child) and am now 31 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy. I know it's not easy to relax. Try to think in terms of milestones. Right now, you need to get to 13 weeks, then 20, 28, and so on. That makes it easier than thinking in terms of 40 weeks.

The odds really are greatly in your favor for having a healthy pregnancy this time. I would tell you to relax, but I'm way into the third trimester and still haven't been able to do so.

My best advice would be to find a doctor that you can trust and who will reassure you when needed, even if that means switching practices at some point.

Good luck and prayers.
