Is it normal to be scared of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
Yes. Feeling scared about another pregnancy after a miscarriage is a very understandable response to a painful, uncertain experience.
A miscarriage can make the idea of getting pregnant again feel less exciting and more frightening. You might worry it will happen again, or feel torn between wanting a pregnancy and wanting to protect yourself from more hurt. There’s no one “right” way to feel, and you don’t have to be ready on anyone else’s timeline.
Lots of people feel this way, even if they don’t talk about it much. It may help to share the fear with someone you trust or with a healthcare professional, who can answer questions about your own situation. If the fear is taking over your day-to-day life, a counselor familiar with pregnancy loss may also help.
