Pregnant after a Loss

Previous loss day = Rough day

I know I don't post a lot but I just had to reach out to some people who would understand.  Today I am 9w1d pregnant, which is the day on my last pregnancy we went to my OB and learned the heart had stopped beating (the fetus measured 9w1d and we had seen a strong heartbeat the previous week).  

I am feeling so uneasy today.  I know every pregnancy is different, but I am so haunted.  We go for our first OB appointment Tuesday (we've been with an RE before this) and it cannot come quickly enough.  Thanks for listening.

  • It's a total b!tch to wait! 

    I lost my son at 16w5d (April of this year) and I was a total freaking wreck up until my last appointment (last Tuesday) and then caught a stomach virus this weekend and have been freaking out about how the baby is doing now...too much grumbly in my tummy to feel the baby.

    On one hand, it does get easier, on the other hand, it never does.  PRAYERS for a great appointment on Tuesday and a STICKY BABY!!!

  • Aidan was born at 28w4d and while I've been a mess, once I got out of the 1st tri I felt a little better. Once I hit 14w2d (half way to when he was born) my anxiety level has risen. It helps that I feel nugget squirming around all the time, but when he's asleep I'm terrified.

  • I understand completely!  I let out a huge sigh of relief when I passed where I was with my m/c, but I still don't feel out of the woods.  I think it's something that changes you and makes you always feel extra cautious/paranoid.  Someone on one of these boards wrote something that can be like a mantra though:

    "Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."

    Just take it day by day I guess.  Right now you are pregnant and everything is perfect.
