TTC After a Loss

Vacation and TTC paranoia

So I can't ask this anywhere else b/c I am sure I will get a side eye. DH and I are trying to plan a vacation, 2-3 nights on the beach. Considering the cost of flights to FL we are considering somewhere in the Caribbean.

The problem is I can't help but feel terrified. If I am pg and something goes wrong what kind of care would there be? Does anyone else feel like this? I don't want to avoid a trip, it has been 4 years since our last vacation (aside from a few overnight getaways). We'll do something, even if it is simply a week on Nantucket or MV but I would prefer water I can enter!

And people wonder why losses cause you to feel stuck in all areas of your life.

Re: Vacation and TTC paranoia

  • Yes I have thought this.  We booked a cruise to the bahamas in March and I really hope that I will be pg by then but who knows and I thought and worried what if something happened and even told my dh.  I decided not to let ttcal hold me back from making plans especially because it isn't that far away and if I were to be pg and something went wrong in the first 3 months there isn't anything that anywhere could do about it anyways really not here or there.  Let's just try to be hopeful and positive that we will be pg again soon and that fx nothing will go wrong ;)

  • See our vacation would be in July, so it would be later. Having had lack of movement that checked out fine only to result in death 24 hours later makes me NERVOUS!

    I have my annual tomorrow so I am going to mention it.Mmy OB is pretty great so maybe she can reassure me that Bermuda or somewhere like that is equipped well enough.

  • I totally understand-but I think if you put your life on hold it makes TTC worse.

    I would go ahead and make the plans and just assume that you are going to have a totally uneventful pregnancy! Maybe make sure that you are able to cancel, just in case the time comes and you just have too much anxiety to enjoy it.

  • I've mulled this over too.  I've got a ton of airline points and I really want to go to Australia or New Zealand again - looking at April or May.  I've thought about how thngs would be different if pg - and nothing would really change (except no wine tour, bungy jumping or zorbing for me).
