Parenting after a Loss

terrified

We just found out we are expecting! We lost our twin sons when I was 19 weeks pregnant and we were so devedtsted. I am so excited and scared to be pregnant again. It almost feels surreal. Im almost too scared to get excited because I don't think I can go through that again. I have never wanted something more than I want healthy babies

Re: terrified

  • Welcome!  I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet boys :(  Congratulations on your pregnancy! 

    This board is fairly slow, so you may have more luck on Pregnant After a Loss.  Either board is a great place for support though!
  • Welcome to the board! I'm so sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your new pregnancy. I agree with the previous poster that you might get more action on the pregnant after a loss board, but you are welcome to post here as well. There is a poster here @wifeyxo who lost twins around the same gestation that you did and now has a healthy little guy running around, so she might be a good one to talk to, since she has been in your position.

  • Congrats! I had a loss around the same time and it really sucks. No one should have to go through something like that. I hope you have a happy and uneventful pregnancy!

  • Congratulations! I am very sorry about the loss of your boys. I too lost a son at 19 weeks and understand that pregnancy after loss is terrifying. I hope you have a H&H (and uneventful) 9 months.

  • I am so very sorry for your losses. As others have mentioned, you will find being active on PGAL very helpful getting through the roller coaster because they are going through it with you. As KM mentioned, you are more than welcome to PM me. There is an amazing woman currently on TTCAL who reached out to me because she lost her girls in a very similar way. Even though ALL of the loss ladies were incredible support, we all got to the same terrible place in different ways. It was comforting even though we are strangers. I hope you and your Doctor have come up with a game plan to help ease your worries. Congratulations! This is a different pregnancy. Hugs.
