pregnancy after loss

busybee0310 · August 2013

I've had a full term pregnancy (delivered at 37 weeks), a missed miscarriage at 18 weeks, full term pregnancy (delivered at 39 weeks), and another miscarriage at 11 weeks. I am now pregnant again (7 weeks today) and my husband and I are overjoyed, but I'm quietly terrified of another loss. I know my poor husband tries so hard to reassure me that we will have a healthly child, but I know he has to tire of hearing my fears over and over. Is there anyone else in a similar situation? We have chosen not to share our news with friends and family until further into the pregnancy and I'm finding it hard without much support and encouragement. I feel in my heart this will be a healthly pregnancy, but sometimes I let myself worry and would love to connect with other moms who know how I'm feeling!

Im sorry about your losses, but congrats on your BFP!

I too have had losses.... the girls on PGAL board are great. I would join them... we are all in the same boat there.

Thanks ladies. I will check that board. I guess I assumed I needed to use the trimester board I was in. Pregnancy brain has already set in! Haha

I have had some later losses also, and get understand the fear. I have lost a daughter at 17 weeks and a son at 15 weeks both within the last year. (2 healthy pregnancies prior to these) and am not expecting again and am 10 weeks.

If you need to vent I TOTALLY understand, feel free to pm me or send me and email at amlgingerich@yahoo.com

I am so sorry to hear about your losses! Congratulations on your BFP!!! DH and I had 2 miscarriages 2 years ago and then 15 months of no positives. We are finally pg again (very early - 4 weeks). We feel the same way as you guys - we are so excited, but completely terrified too. My goal is to try not to worry too much and just go with it. Prayers for a happy and healthy 9 months headed your way!!!

I'm in the same situation. My husband and I have had two miscarriages. One at 11 weeks that was a girl and the other at 8 weeks and we found out that it was a blighted ovum which is basically when the sac is empty. I am pregnant again (5 weeks). So hopefully this one will continue to grow and be a healthy so we can finally have a baby to love!
