Pregnant after a Loss

has anyone else felt this way?

Let me preface this by saying my EDD would have been this Friday so that may have something to do with how I feel.

Every night when I go to bed I am thankful for the day but start to wonder if the next day is the one where the rug will be pulled out from under me.  I have 4 tests that say I'm pregnant and my body is changing.  I am bloated, I feel tugging and pulling, I feel a little sick to my stomach but not enough to throw up, my heartbeat is up and so is my temperature.  Everything seems to be going as smoothly as can be.  So why do I worry so much?  Why am I so paranoid and just waiting for something to go wrong?  How do I get over this?

  • You are definately not alone with how you are feeling right now.  I believe alot of us feel that way when we get pg after a m/c.  And for when do you get over this?  I don't have an answer for you.  I feel my baby move everyday now, and I still get paranoid sometimes.

    Good Luck, and remember my favorite mantra on this board "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby"

  • The only way to get through this is just to put your head down and take it one day at a time. I know exactly how you're feeling. I'm 10w and I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Good luck hon, and I hope the next few weeks go quickly for you.

  • I think it's just how this process is, for all of us. The fear is only natural, when you've already lived through it. All you can do is try to focus on the good, and enjoy the moment. It's basically impossible, but we have to try.

  • Oh I feel the same way tomorrow was my EDD and also my DH birthday and Thursday we go in for an ultrasound, it is so hard, I keep telling myself that my angel is in heaven protecting us, and that if something did happen  that God will see me through it and there is nothing I can do to change the future. I just hope we all get through this with happy and healthy babies.

     

    My thoughts are with you.
