Pregnant after a Loss

Stressing/panicking...

I have no reason to feel this way. Baby Riley has been moving all over this weekend (19 weeks Wednesday) and I had an early a/s that was good at 17ws. But I have two appointments this week. One tomorrow is just a regular ob check with Doppler but Friday is the one I am stressing over. It's our followup ultrasound with the MFM specialist that did the last scan. It's not even a big deal but I don't care for ultrasounds until they are over with. I never had a good experience with them until this pregnancy and we are also coming up on our loss milestone of 20/21 weeks. At 20 weeks is when we discover a problem with our angel and 21 week we said goodbye. I don't know if I will every feel 100% positive about this pregnancy until I am holding my baby boy in my arms and he's healthy. No really point to this but I know you all would get it.

Re: Stressing/panicking...

  • The milestones are often the hardest. Sending you lots of good thoughts for both appointments. 

    Remember your mantras, keep breathing and focus on some good self-care. Hugs.

  • Thinking of you! You gave me such great advice with my anatomy scan. I know how hard milestones are but try to cling to all the great ultrasounds and news you have had so far with this baby. I think it's normal after loss especially when we approach our milestones to think negatively or to go back to what it felt like before but remember that this is a different pregnancy. I'm thinking of you and sending you so many positive thoughts and prayers.
  • Thinking of you!  I completely understand your fears.  I have an monthly appointment today and all my doctor will do is check for her heartbeat.  Even though I have a Doppler at home and I use it every day, I am still nervous for the appointment.  Past experience drives our emotions, unfortunately.  I am sending good thoughts your way!

  • Thank you ladies! It puts me at ease knowing I am never alone in the way I am feeling. I will post an update when I am done with each of my appointments. I did go home at lunch and listen to his heart beating away. That really helped and also the strong kicks he gave me as I ate my lunch. But most of all was reading your responses. So thank you again!

    Jess I am glad I was able to help you feel better about your scan. When is it again? I think that you are right negative experiences can cause us to think negatively on the happens of now. I will try to do as you and others have said here which is to remember this time is different! Huge ((hugs)) to you.

  • I think the absolute worst thing is that we all have fears in the back of our minds. Mine definitely surface around big appointments, so I know how you feel! I'll be looking forward to your updates :)
