Late Miscarriage and TTC

aebrode

On Feburary 28th I gave birth to a precious little boy. As soon as the umbilical cord was cut, he fell soft asleep. My husband and I have dealt with it as well as expected. All we really want to do is try again, as soon as possible.  My last pregnancy was charted and planned. This time, weve just decided to not intentionally try, but at the same time not prevent it.

 Its a roller coaster of emotions.  My son celebrated his 2nd birthday on the one month anniversary of my babys death. Our 5 year old daughter doesnt understand why, but she says her angel brother sings her to sleep at night and floats over her to make sure she doesnt have bad dreams. So sweet and sad at the same time.

My question is...have any of you found it more difficult to even try, let alone concieve after a loss? I also have high risk pregnancies which doesnt ease my fears.

I just want to say I am so sorry for the loss of your little boy.

I'm glad you feel you & your husband are managing as well as you can during this hard time. I completely understand just wanting to TTC again. 

Im a newbie myself, but I wonder if the Loss board (right above the military families board) would be a good place for you to check out. Those ladies have experiences with later losses. TTC after a Loss board might be a good place too for your ttcal questions.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have had two early losses, so I know its not the same as your loss, but we were nervous to try and conceive again. We just know we want another baby, so we're going for it. I think the fear is common in those who have had losses.

That's so sweet what your DD says about her angel brother. It must be hard to hear that though. My thoughts are with you and your family.
