Hello all,
I sadly miscarried my first baby on 3/18/16, just 11 weeks into pregnancy. It was devastaing and heartbreaking, and caused many weeks of pain. Amazingly, after getting my period again in April, we TTC and miraculously we suceeded! I got a pregnancy test two days ago. Except this time, it feels so diffferent...not as much joy and elation, it feels like a mixutre of amazement, gratefullness, as well as an overwhelming feeling of fear for the next few weeks and months to come. It really hasn't hit home yet that we are pregnant again and that this little one inside me is a different baby. It doesnt' feel as magical and amazing as the first one did. I feel sad that my heart isn't in it yet, but my husband especially is feeling cautious and not wanting to get too emotionally involved until we know it will make it to full term.
I have hope that there is a reason God blessed us with another baby, and I"m so in awe that it happened...but cautious and scared.
Have any of you had a pregnancy immediately after miscarriage, and have a mix of emotions? Overwhelmed by this quick development? Are you scared? We see the doctor in a week and a half to confirm it, but nausea has already set in and I have two positive pee sticks so I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant

Re: First pregnancy after miscarriage
I'm also pregnant after a loss and am scared about losing this pregnancy as well. You might want to try posting in the pregnant after a loss boards or your birth month board (BMB). BMBs are more active than first tri and I'm sure there will be other women who are pregnant after a loss (PGAL) there.

Otherwise, know that you're definitely not alone. Pretty much every PGAL woman goes through this. It does get better over time. As others said, on any given BMB there are usually quite a few people going through the same thing and there's usually dedicated PGAL check-ins. Good luck- I hope you get your rainbow baby.
