Meltdown

in Pregnant after a Loss
So today I had a meltdown. It's been four months since we lossed our baby at 16 weeks and now here I am, happy to say I am 5 weeks pregnant again. I really am thrilled to be having another but I guess the anxiety and fears caught up with me today knowing we really have no control over this baby's life. I do know that God is bigger and has a great plan but that 12 week security blanket is gone for me now and I really have to trust His plans. Hoping and praying I will have a full term healthy baby.

Another thought... I was thinking about a baby heart monitor to buy. One concern I have is becoming obsessed over it. Anyone tried it? Worth it?

    I am sorry to hear about your previous loss. Congrats on your current pregnancy!

    I had a meltdown a couple of weeks ago when I would've been 20 weeks with my prior pregnancy. Know that you are not alone and hoping that this LO sticks.

    I'm sorry for your loss, welcome and congrats on your current pregnancy! As for your Doppler question, I bought the sonoline B on eBay, new for 55 dollars. To me it was a good investment! Although everyone is different, I didn't become obsessed with it, I

    I have a Doppler and l love it. I used it a little too much between weeks 1216 then my little boy started kicking and now I use it maybe once a week at the most if he is having a slow kicking day.

    Congrats on your pregnancy and I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my first baby at 8 weeks and got pg again 2 months later so I understand the anxiety. Around 15 weeks I finally caved and rented a doppler. I only used it until I could feel movement around
