Pregnant after a Loss

mini vacation and ultrasound today :)

I was away the last four days - we brought our daughter and a friend to Minneapolis, to the mall and Valley Fair. My Canadian wifi was sketchy so I didn't get online much. I have a lot of catching up to do.

This was my first time in a crowded public place since we lost Finn. It was more difficult than I imagined. Everywhere I looked I saw babies: newborns who reminded me of him, baby boys, babies who would be his age now. It was hard, triggers were everywhere breaking my heart over and over.
I couldn't look at baby clothes, even though I wanted to for this baby. Seeing all the little boy stuff was just too much.
I'm glad the whole experience is over.

We returned home late last night, and this morning got to start the day seeing baby on ultrasound. Everything is looking great, baby is right on track at 10w6d with a heart rate of 161. ❤️

I feel I can breathe a little deeper now.

  • I am so happy you saw that beautiful heartbeat and had a great scan. Tons of vibes to your LO to keep growing strong and healthy. :) 

    Big hugs to you. I can imagine how hard it must have been to be triggered like that in a public place. {{{hugs}}}

  • Thank you, everyone. I just had my first midwife appointment this afternoon - I'm under "supported midwife care" with my OB as primary - it was my first time meeting her. The midwives are mostly for after birth care for us this time.., I'm already feeling a little better. So much support!!

    The kindness of people never ceases to touch me.

    Feeling loved ❤️ thank you :)
