Pregnant after a Loss

New here :)

I've kind of avoided the bump like the plague after miscarrying in november... and I feel horrible about that. There were a couple of weeks post m/c that thebump was literally the only thing that made me feel okay to cope. I sincerely hope I encounter some of those amazing and supportive ladies here in this forum :).

 I found out I was pregnant again a week ago :). My emotions have been so different than my last pregnancy (the m/c). I've been hesitant to make appointments, or tell anyone, or really get settled into this whole idea that I'm pregnant again. I am excited though... just excited with reservations, I guess. From what I've heard, getting over the m/c hump is a big sigh of relief, but I'm honestly wondering if that worry in the back of your head ever goes away?

Anyways, hello to all of you :). I'm looking forward to electronically bonding with you, haha. Have a great evening!

  • Congrats & welcome! I know how you feel about the hesitation. I  found myself not getting excited to spare myself the pain again if anything happened. I'm still pretty early & looking forward to getting out of first tri, but that worry is still there for me. Hopefully when I can feel the baby move I'll feel better.

    Anyway, congrats again!

  • Congratulations! Welcome to the board. I don't think that worry in your head ever goes away. But you just have to take it one day at a time.

  • Congratulations and welcome! I too am super nervous and find myself not wanting to even think about it let alone talk about it. I don't even want to call my Dr. to schedule an appt yet knowing that he won't see a reason to see me any earlier than normal. So for me, I'm just trying to stay positive and focus on other things and I keep telling myself, today I am pregnant and I love my baby! GL and here's to a H&H 9months!

  • Welcome and congrats! Everything you're feeling is very normal for being PgAL. I don't think the fear of another loss will ever go away, but it does get easier with time. I hope this is your sticky baby!

  • Thank you for all the support! I know these feelings are normal... I think after what we've all been through, we ALL know it's normal. But it's still nice to have a place for freak out moments :).

     And Hello Katharine! Nice to see you again :). I'm so wishing for you to join us too! Looking forward to encountering everyone from the MC board on here :). This forum has a far different vibe already... and I am so liking it :).
