Pregnant after a Loss

Finally got my BFP after 1.5 years

DH and I had a missed m/c in Feb 2008 and I have been so nervous to TTC again since then.  We kept coming up with excuses like "oh well Vegas is next month, let's wait til after that", "football season is coming, let's wait til after that", etc.

I'm so excited but so nervous too.  Any advice on just enjoying this and not stressing?

  • How exciting, Congrats!! As for not stressing try to keep your mind off things. I really had to allow myself no free time in the beginning or my mind would start running. Keep yourself busy. GL and Welcome!!

  • I totally hear you.  I had a missed miscarriage in December 2007 and didn't try again until December 2008.  We were so fortunate to get pregnant again right away, but I would be lying if I said the first 12 weeks weren't extremely difficult.  All you can really do is try and stay positive, and remember that this is an entirely different pregnancy.  And try to take strength from your little angel who is watching over you.  Congratulations!
