TTC After a Loss

New Here....a little long

Hi!  My name is Heather.  I"ve been lurking on the knot and then the nest for over 5 years and this is my first ever post.  I had a mc in Nov at 8w3d, my 2nd pregnancy..I have a wonderful, beautiful 2 1/2 yr old son.   I was ok after the mc, cried a little, but accepted it or so I thought, but recently some sadness about it has begun to creep back.  I always had these ideas of what I wanted in life, actually expected...2 kids who are at the most 3 years apart, both before I'm 35, spring babies, etc....when it didn't work out that way I was actually shocked.  I never once thought that it was possible that I wasn't going to get everything I wanted.  I learned a very difficult lesson after the mc, one that i needed to....life doesn't always work out the way you hoped or planned it.  I normally only share these feelings with those in my close circle, but I find all of you women quite inspiring after reading many of your stories and felt compelled to share mine.

  • Welcome to the board. I'm very sorry for your loss. I have a 2 1/2 yr old dd, and we thought the same thing--- 2-3 yrs apart, no more than 3 yrs apart......that's not happening.

    I hope you feel you can post here. Lurkers miss out on getting to know a lot of really awesome women. Hope to hear from you more. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

  • HI and welcome! I have a 3 1/2 year old. We wanted our kids 2 1/2 years apart and tried for that and got pregnant and had 3 mc's since. So needless to say our kids will be at least 4 years apart or more....Life does not work the way we always wanted it to. However, it does seem to work for my friends the way they want;(     (((((HUGS)))))
  • Welcome to the board.  I am so sorry to hear about your losses.  I'm glad you came out of hiding.  These ladies were my rock after I went through my m/c, and got back into TTC.  I hope you find lots of love and comfort here.  Just remember to post lots!

  • Welcome.  And I'm sorry for your loss.  And I understand. 

    After a lifetime of being told I could have whatever I wanted if I just worked hard enough for it, this year has been a pisser.  .  .  but these ladies are the best foxhole buddies a girl could ask for in hard times, so you're in a good place. 

  • Welcome to the board. So sorry for your loss.
