Pregnant after a Loss

Trying to change negativity

I realized today that ever since my BFP last Oct, which ended in a missed m/c discovered at 8w, I have been immersed in negativity and anxiety. Through the early weeks of that pg, the m/c, trying to heal, after this BFP, and even now, when I have passed all my loss milestones. If I am not feeling scared about losing the pregnancy, I am worrying about being a good parent to 3. I think all my negative thinking is taking a major toll on me, and especially on my family.

When you get stuck in a place like this, what do you do to turn your thinking around? I need help in bringing some positive energy back into my life.

Thanks for reading my tale of woe, and for any wisdom you might have to share.

Re: Trying to change negativity

  • ((hugs)) I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. I went through a rough patch last fall and was a huge mess. I did start therapy and Prozac. Something else I did though that you can do for yourself is I started a gratitude journal.  I had

  • I am right there with you. I was starting to feel more positive after my AS and then was told that I possibly have 'marginal insertion of the placenta'. After consulting Dr. Google, I spent yesterday convinced that this baby isn't going to make it.
  • It sounds like it might help you to go talk to a professional they can give you great coping skills when things get rough. I saw someone after my 5th m/c and it has helped me a lot this pregnancy.

  • Just wanted to offer ((hugs)). I agree with the PP about the positive thoughts journal. I gave that a shot a while back when I was going through a rough patch and it really helped. I kind of suck at keeping up with that kind of thing so I think I only act
