How to stay calm???

So I've carefully made my way over to this side once again. However, I can't help but be super nervous this time. After having my miscarriage back in April my entire mindset about pregnancy has changed. There's no more positive thoughts, there's only worry and anxiousness. I lost my last baby at 7 weeks and I'm not even at 5 now. Can't help but worry constantly. Always wondering if what I'm doing at work is too much. Always comparing my symptoms today to yesterdays. For example: I think my boobs may have been more sore yesterday than they are today. It makes me think of last time when I began to lost symptoms and then started to spot. So far, no bleeding this time, but I'm constantly worried.
I work in retail and am on my feet from 6 hours (which I don't think is too bad) to sometimes almost 9 (which worries me). I'm also taking a lot of stairs in the stockroom. Always worried about if I'm overdoing it.
How do you possibly stay positive and calm in early pregnancy, especially after a previous loss? This seems to be very hard for me. I WANT to be happy for this pregnancy, but all I feel is worry.

I guess all I can do now is try to distract myself. I'm sure worrying isn't helping any. I think once I get past the first trimester I'll feel a lot better. Sad to say I want to fast forward to the throwing up part. LOL!!
I was having a bad morning (I'll blame it on hormones, yes!) And I suppose all I can do is wait and try to stay as positive as possible. Thanks for listening to my rant mommylove & 2 momsinseattle. Sometimes it's good to talk to the only people who understand.
Will you have an early u/s? Seeing the heartbeat at 7w2d alleviated SO much of my anxiety, especially when the doctor told me that I then had a 96-97% chance of taking home a baby.
I really don't even think that seeing an ultrasound will help me a lot, since the other baby had a heartbeat and everything. I know they say most pregnancies with a heartbeat go on to be full term, but I don't think that's very legit considering so many of us have had losses after the 6 week mark.
But anyway, yeah I think it's just a matter of time. I will probably be better after the first trimester. I think as long as I'm not spotting I'm feeling pretty good. I'm just praying that I have no bleeding this time because I will be just devastated. But so far so good and I'm hoping it stays that way! I'm having a lot of symptoms much more and earlier this time than I did last time. I've been extremely bloated still and my boobs are hurting (which didn't happen until 6 weeks last time). So hopefully everything will be okay.
I know a lot of people would probably tell me to just enjoy my pregnancy, but I kind of wish I could just fast foward it to a "safe zone", if there is such a thing!
