Parenting after a Loss

Can I do a confession?

Ok so I feel really guilty for feeling this way but I still get a little jealous of people who get pregnant, have no problems and are just over the moon to be pregnant. A good friend of mine is pregnant and believe me I am so excited for her! I would never wish what I went through on my worst enemy. It just got me thinking because tomorrow I have my first ultrasound and I am beyond nervous. To make it worse DH can't go with me he  has to stay home with DS, you can't bring kids there. They truly don't realize how lucky they are that they can just enjoy their pregnancy, and I will always have reservations about getting excited too soon. The other day I was talking to her(the preg friend) and she said "your pregnant too" I told her no I'm not pregnant until I see that heartbeat and I am well into my second trimester. Ok I'm rambling sorry wish me luck tomorrow!

    I feel this way too.  Some people will never understand.  Lots of luck tomorrow!  I will be looking for an update.  : )
  • i get it too.  i am sure i'll feel the same way whenever we're ready for #2.  good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes.
  • I can definitely understand. ?I felt that way earlier on when I'd go to 1st tri and people were planning their nurseries at 5 weeks...I was still saying "if there's a baby in there".

    Hang in there. ?For me, I started to feel like more of a "normal" pregnant person as the 1st tri went on and things looked good (saw the h/b at about 9w, again at 10w, heard h/b by doppler).

    Good luck tomorrow!!?

  • I could have written this!  I am sooooo jealous of people who get pregnant with no problems and have perfect normal pregnancies.  I will always feel worried after the loss and all the issues I had with my pregnancy.  GL tomorrow!  Hope you see a nice strong h/b!!!
