I'm new here... I miscarried in December (my first pregnancy) and just found out yesterday that I am pregnant again. I thought I'd be excited and that I was ready to do this again, but really I've just been a mess for the last 24 hours. Terrified and overwhelmed seems to be more accurate. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I've lost my mind.
I know I'm never going to be as naively excited as I was the first time, but I guess I'm just hoping I can get to a place to be a bit more hopeful.
There's a huge mix of emotions that comes with being pgal. Wishing you a healthy and happy 9+ months.
Also, you might still need to do some grieving for your December baby, and that's ok. I think we all have had those moments of being reminded of the LOs we lost, while also looking forward to (FX!) bringing home our take-home babies.
Be gentle with yourself. It's ok to cry. Take it one day and one appointment at a time.
I completely understand what you are going through. My anxiety is through the roof as well...I am terrified to be happy and look forward to things but dont want to be negative at the same time. One day at a time.
Currently...everytime I go to the bathroom and dont see any blood, I look at that as a success.
((Hugs)) sorry you are feeling this way. As others have said it is all too common among this community. Congrats and welcome

True, being pregnant will never be the same after a loss, but I think that makes the prize all that sweeter!
Welcome and congrats!

Congrats on your BFP! The ladies on this board certainly get the stress and emotions that come along with being pgal. I am wishing you a happy and healthy nine months. Welcome to the board!
Since it looks like you are new to TB, before you get too settled in, I would recommend changing your screenname so it doesn't have your email address. The interwebz have some crazies, yo.
Congrats on your BFP! I (and I think all the ladies here) completely understand what you are going through.
Are you having your betas drawn? For me, it helped a lot and each tiny bit of positive news I got helped me. My doctor's office has been great with giving me a little extra TLC for me since I'm also coming off a recent loss. I'm still nervous as hell, but some days are better than others.
Take care of yourself and just take it one day at a time!
