Pregnant after a Loss

Is it bad to not beleive your actually pregnant?

I am going through a period of denial right now.  Last year I went through an abnormally long miscarriage and it took me about 6 months to get all the HCG levels out of my system. Me and my husband started trying again, and I just found out that I am pregnant!  As exciting as that is I am going through this period where I don't believe it.  I took 4 pregnancy tests and they all had faint positive, so that makes me think even more that its not real.  I am so excited about being a mom, but I fear l will lose it again so I'm in denial.  Any advice?

  • I'm in the same spot so no advice. But I do wish you good luck!

  • Thanks, glad to at least know that Im not alone. :)  Good luck to you too!
  • You are not alone at all. I too am in the same boat. So much so DH poured me a glass of wine last night and completely forgot. My only advice is to be happy with being pregnant today, take it one day at a time. Good luck and congrats!

  • I had my BFP almost 2 weeks ago and I still forget.  I keep thinking about pumpkin beer & getting excited only to remember that *hopefully* I won't be able to have any this season.  I will be in denial until the first u/s I think.  Know that we are here for you if you need anything :)

  • You're definitely not alone. It took me a while to believe it myself. And I still, like a couple of PP's said, catch myself thinking about fall activities and concerts and then I'm like oh wait, can't do it.

    I hope that these feelings will subside for you and you can start to enjoy it.

  • I'm 23 weeks and I'm still in denial. It took me 10 months and several procedures and surgery to be able to get pregnant after my D&C so I'm paranoid and scared. Congratulations!

  • I'm the same way.  I'm just shy of 6 weeks and I am still peeing on sticks!  It's a sick obsession...  I just refuse to beleave it is real.

    Either way, eventually there will come a point where you can't deny it any longer.  Hopefully it will be soon!

     Our baby boy,Logan, was born still at 19w3d on 7/1/2011
    Our 2nd baby boy, Mason, was born still at 20w3d on 1/31/2012

    I am the same way.  On one hand I'm very excited, but I also feel detached.  A friend (who is also a loss mom) suggested it's our hearts way of thinking it can protect itself.  I felt really bad the other day when I realized I still have the u/s picture in my purse for over a week, and hadn't looked at it since the day we got it. 

    I am also waiting as long as humanly possible to tell people at work because I don't want to deal with the "squeee, you're pregnant!  How are you feeling, do you hope it's a boy or girl, blah blah".  I don't really want to talk about it, so the longer they are in the dark the better.
