Pregnant after a Loss
Options

It probably makes me sound crazy but

I'm actually extra happy when I feel that lump/acid tingle in my throat, it reassures me that I'm still pregnant. I also look forward to noticing an oncoming headache, and, of course, don't mind sleeping in for what seems to be 50%-75% of the day away. Even the inconvenient back-and-forth bathroom runs, which get really annoying after a while, I'm thankful for.

It just feels good to still feel pregnant when I'm so scared of losing the baby so often. It's nice to be reassured by annoying symptoms that we're okay.

Anyone else feeling the same?

    Yes! This is the first pregnancy where I've experienced m/s and it gives me so much comfort!

    Apparently, pregnancies including m/s have a slightly smaller chance of loss, which, statistics may not have been on my side in the past, but, it's still something to hold on to. :P

    I feel the same way.  If I have a day where I feel "good" I worry something is wrong.  My husband keeps reassuring me "I don't think you are supposed to feel bad ALL the time" but I would take that any day over another miscarriage!

    I told my husnad last night that I am nervous that I don't have m/s, like something is wrong with me. I wake up every morning and press on my boobs to see if they hurt. And I'm happy when they do. Having a loss makes you thankful for the things everyone else sees as a burden, at least in my case.

    Yes, I feel the same way!  I will take the hunger, gas, bloat, etc.  Sometimes burping gets a little old, but then I remember that it's my little reminder.  I don't think I would necessarily be thankful for m/s, but everything else I'll take.

     Ugh, I wish!  You are lucky to be able to sleep in.  I'm so jealous!  I agree in general, although I like some of my symptoms more than others (the m/s I could do without...but I swear I'm not complaining as long as there's a healthy baby in there)!
