TTC After a Loss

bittersweet mothers day

Of course all I could think about today was that I was supposed to know  the gender of my baby now and I would have a little baby bump right now.   My husband and I left to go out of town yesterday morning, so we didn't check the mail yesterday. Of course my ER bill and d&c bill were waiting in the mailbox for me on mother's day.

The sweet part of my day is that my beautiful nephew was christened today, and I am his godmother.  Based on the growth of my baby when I had my u/s the day I learned miscarried, I miscarried around the day my nephew was born.  The day he was born, all I could think about is that I would have a sweet baby in October.  Needless to say, everytime I see him I think about my angel baby.

Another nice part of my day is that my first post D&C AF arrived!  I am so excited that DH and I can start TTC soon! 

I wanted to wish everyone a happy mother's day.  Our angel babies are looking down on us today.

Re: bittersweet mothers day

  • Thank You! That is such a wonderful way of looking at it. I can't wait to get my AF and be able to try again soon too. Congrats on being a godmother to a beautiful baby boy! I know how hard it is to see other people  around you have babies. My best friend had her baby girl the day after my D&C. It was so hard to go to the hospital and see her but I needed to be there to support her. I think it is wonderful that you are able to see the positive side in such a hard time!

  • I see you had your d&c 3 days after me (and your EDD was 1 day before my baby was due).  So hopefully your AF will come soon.  I had minor cramps since about April 27th, so I was anxiously waiting to see when the cramps would actually mean AF was on her way.  I never imagined I would be excited to see AF.

  • Thanks I hope it comes soon too! Yeah I never thought I would be excited for AF either but as I have explained to my friends who have never been through this the only thing that comforts you is the thought and hope of getting pregnant again. Good luck. Keep me posted to how things go!!!!

  • Congratulations on being a godmother and AFs arrival. My bills for my D&C keep coming in as well, sometimes I dread going to the mailbox. You sound very strong and I think that it is wonderful, I admire that. I hope AF is nice to you and leaves soon so you can begin TTC.
