I miscarried last year, and was fortunate enough to fall pregnant again straight away, but my miscarriage in itself was a horrendous experience so it's left its mark on me.
I'm currently 9 weeks, and also not even really acknowledging the fact I'm pregnant, even though I've had two positive scans.
When I get past week 13, I will breathe a little easier, but won't really relax properly until I have my private gender scan at week 16 and they give baby a proper check over.
Pregnancy after loss is both wonderful, and the hardest, most terrifying thing I have ever been through. It's made me very snappy, very emotional and the recurring nightmares about bleeding have taken their toll, but I'm trying to just focus on getting to that magic 16 week mark and take it one day at a time.
