It does get better...but I will admit that I still check sometimes just out of habit. But I have finally crossed over into "If there's blood I better go to the hospital because this baby might be coming!" stage. So you'll replace TP checking with obsessive checking for fetal movement. It's always something...I think loss does that to all of us. It DOES get better...I promise.

I will be asking you for the same reassurances hopefully one day soon, and you will tell me how you started doing kick counts all the way until the birth and that there was always something you worried about before you got to hold your baby:)
I wish I had been there, done that - I would love to tell you something cool to get you past the fear:) I hope you can find a way to get every last drop of joy from this that you can. And take notes. I WILL be asking;)- cat had this to say:
It's completely normal to be worried and considering how traumatic miscarriage is, it is totally understandable. I've been there each bathroom session a mini freak out, so sorry that you have to feel like this at all. Be kind to yourself... it's really OK to feel afraid sometimes. I hope that the fears dim and you get more spaces where you glow all over.

even after my son's death and all the postnatal bleeding and before i got pregnant this time, i still obsessively checked the tp. it's just an ingrained habit. i figure there are worse things i could obsess about than the state of my girly parts, right?
