Pregnant after a Loss

passing my own milestones...

First it was 13 weeks, then 17 weeks, then 24 weeks, now I'm waiting to get through 32 weeks, then it will be 37, after that, I think I will still be in fear that the baby will die of something. Does the fear of miscarrying/losing ever go away?! At the last U/S I was happy to hear that my baby's chances of surviving if anything happened were increasingly greatly. At least there a chance now...

Re: passing my own milestones...

  • that is great! you're almost there! I have the same fears. I just want to get through this pregnancy but then I know I am going to be afraid that something will happen to our precious one. I am totally ruined from the miscarriage, it messed with my head big time!

    Heres to thinking positive from now on!

  • Aww hun dont sweat it. We all think alike. When was your last u/s that you had. Just wondering because of your comment about the baby's chance of surviving going way up.
  • With my first pg I was terrified of losing the baby even though I had no reason to be. I never had a miscarriage etc, although my mom had 4 before she had me. I worried the entire time and it did no good. Olivia passed away at 40 weeks when my water broke. I am not telling you this to make you worry more, I am telling you this because I wish that I had not worried so much and spent more time enjoying being pregnant with her. This time I try to remember how much I worried last time & how in the end it really didn't help. I think I am actually calmer this time because I know that I am capable of carrying a healthy baby to term. I still have fears but I try to have faith that my baby will be healthy. Just try to concentrate on the fact that the baby is healthy now and that you two are spending all of this time together. I wish that I had looked at it as a bonding experience last time instead of a means to an end. Again, I didn't tell you this to upset you, I just hope that you can learn from my mistake. Treasure the time that you have now and hopefully there will be many years of joy for you together in the future. You are in my prayers.
