I am sorry for your loss last year. I completely understand and sympathize with that fear that tempers the early excitement. I was probably more afraid and full of dread for the first 8 weeks than I was excited. Like sonrisa, at 15 weeks I feel like I'm finally starting to bask in this a little bit.
So I say to you - congratulations, and hang in there. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel. Ask your doctors any and all questions and point blank ask for an early scan to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be.
AND. It is TOTALLY normally to worry more and freak out. I would start getting uber anxious a few days-a week before ea appt w/ C's pg, as I had lost one right before. And we had a few scares with C, but we have a super awesome kid out of it all. I wish you the same, sans scares please!
Try to relax and enjoy it. That's very hard though, and even though I kept telling myself to do that, it was probably about 22 weeks before I felt a little less nervous (and STILL was nervous).
