I lost a twin this pregnancy at 9 weeks. We'd seen the heartbeat three times at early ultrasounds. It was/is a very difficult time. I wanted to curl up, cry and never come out of my bedroom. But I still have a healthy baby growing in there. It was hard for me to still be excited for the living baby, when I was grieving for our lost baby. I couldn't talk about the pregnancy for quite a few weeks because I would break down when I would accidentally say "the babies" instead of "the baby". I'd cry when I remembered to say "the baby" because it was a reminder that our other baby was gone.
It's gotten easier as each day has passed, but as you know from previous miscarriages, it won't ever be truly gone. We also had a miscarriage of twins in the spring. I think so often of our three angels.
Sending you lots of healing, strength thoughts. Don't be afraid to not be happy for a few days, weeks....I needed to grieve the loss of one before I could start getting excited about the other.
PM if you ever need to get out what your feeling and want someone that understands a little better about losing, but still having. Thinking of you!

It's hard to know how to feel. Relief one is ok, sad about the other, guilt about feeling like your not feeling enough.
Important thing to remember is that you can feel however you need in the moment your in.
I'll be giving T&P to all of you and wish peace and comfort as you move through this difficult time.
