Parenting after a Loss

Re-intro

Hi all!  I haven't posted here in a while...I've been busy adjusting to being a new mom and then working full-time with an infant.  I'm a teacher and on summer break now, so I'm hoping to be around a lot more!  

My story: I joined TTCAL in 9/10 after the loss of our son, Eliott, at 37 weeks.  After his loss, we discovered that we both had IF issues and were given less than a 1% chance of conceiving naturally.  We did 4 IUIs (one resulted in an early loss), 1 IVF (BFN) and had a surprise pregnancy that ended in another early loss.   I got a surprise BFP in March '12, and with lovenox, BA, and acupuncture, made it to 38 weeks when I was induced.  Our daughter L is now 6 months old.

i hope you all will have me back!

  • Hi Carolee, nice to see you! Glad to hear your doing well and that you have the summer off. How was your transition back to work? I am also a teacher and I'm dreading going back in September. How did you handle your workload and family priorities? As you know, despite what others think, its a pretty demanding job!

    i won't lie...it was HARD.  For the first 2 months, I was exhausted the entire time.  When I got home from work, I just wanted to sit down and rest but I couldn't because I'd have to take care of and play with L.  I felt really guilty that I was so tired that it affected my attitude toward spending time with her.  It got a lot easier though, and by the time we got out for break, we had a good routine down.  Just be patient with yourself and your baby...it takes time but you will both adjust.
