Don't want to leave (Ticker Warning)

TwinkleTor

I hope I'm not wrong for posting here, but I feel most comfortable here. I don't want to leave. I feel connected to you ladies more than any where else. I lurked around but always come back here. Any way... Here is goes.

I'm pregnant! I found out on October 23. Yesterday we went to the doctor to confirm the pregnancy. We met our new doctor, who will monitor us closely to make sure we bring our rainbow baby home! We are 5 weeks along and are hoping we make it to 9months.

Congrats to you! Of course you are welcome here. There is a pregnant after loss check in. Being PGAL is very hard and others here can absolutely help you with that journey. We just ask that you put a ticker warning and warning in your posting subject. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

Congratulations and best wishes during the pregnancy!! I'm also hoping to be in your shoes again soon and I know that it will be helpful to talk to other PgAL ladies during that time! Also I think its helpful to hear of successful stories after a loss

Congrats! Being pg after a late loss carries a lot or anxiety. I have been there and have my rainbow baby safely here with me. I know you wrote you'll be monitored closely so that will help. Be your own advocate and get all the reassurance you need. With my pregnancy, I got a u/s at 9 weeks (to see if things were okay) and to date the pregnancy. I did the first tri screening (it's offered to all patients) I had the glucose test done twice at 20 and 28 weeks. Once I got to 36 weeks I had weekly NSTs. I was induced at exactly 39 weeks.

Congrats! 

Being pregnant after a loss if not an easy journey, and some days are downright horrible. Greiving your loss simultaneously while feeling joy and anxiety. Its difficult, but there are lots of other here that can help be supportive. 

The PGAL board would also be a good place to post and ask questions. We generally have a PGAL check-in on this board on Fridays.

Congratulations! You don't have to leave, the PgAL journey is very emotionally difficult. As others have said there is a weekly check in here for PgAL. There are also several of us here who are also pregnant.

Definitely check out the PgAL board as those women are also amazing (and several are women from this board as well).

Siggy and ticker warnings should be added when posting in this board because it can be very painful for women here to see (especially new loss moms).

Congratulations again!

Congratulations!  As many have said (and you can see) we don't leave this board!  I've really enjoyed the PgAL check-ins on this board.  I'm glad you met with your new Dr.  It was really important to me with pregnancy that we had a plan in place.  As said - advocate for yourself!

Here's to a healthy pregnancy and baby!

I am one of the ones who has their rainbow and let me tell you it was the hardest thing next to losing my baby. I love my rainbow and she in no way takes the place of our Sydney but wow it was tough after only being six months out from our loss. It didn't feel real until she came out crying. If you need anything at all. I am here for any of the moms who are PGAL. Just pm me if you need anything.

Congrats and I hope you have the most uneventful pregnancy !!!!

Congrats!  You definitely don't have to leave.  The Pgal board is great for questions, and we have a Pgal check in here, but being pregnant again doesn't negate my need to grieve for my daughter, and being Pgal is very hard.  It's so difficult to be happy and excited, scared and terrified and still grieving your angel all at the same time.  I'm so thankful for this pregnancy, but sometimes it makes me so sad that I don't have my angel here too.
