Pregnant after a Loss

Approaching Previous Loss Point

Last year, my husband and I lost twin girls at 19 weeks gestation. They were conceived through IVF. We also had another IVF pregnancy end in loss later last year. That was 5 weeks gestation. I am currently pregnant through IVF and am 17w1d. Approaching my 19w loss point, I'm concerned about how to best deal. At this point, I'm feeling good and positive and hopeful. Not feeling anxious or nervous. I'd like to hear how others dealt with their loss point please.

Re: Approaching Previous Loss Point

  • My loss point was much earlier (at 9 weeks 2 days, we discovered that the baby's heart had stopped beating at 8 weeks, 5 days) but I did my best to ignore it - I knew it was coming up but didn't want to really think too hard about it.  Just trudged through day and day until I heard the heartbeat at 10 weeks.  It also helped that I had an early u/s at 7 weeks which I didn't have the first time so I was able to think about how great the heartbeat was.

    ((hugs)) to you and sending you lots of T&P's to get you through that milestone.

  • I pretty much have been taking this whole pregnancy day by day. My first loss point was the 10 week appointment and 6 weeks. I was very nervous but when all came out well I calmed down. Now I live every day with slight worry because my second loss point is 31 weeks and that's just so far away and a lot of time to worry. All I can say is take it day by day. *hugs*

  • It's always been my experience that the build-up to the hard milestone is much harder than the actual day of the milestone. Hang in there and take it a day at a time. HUGS

  • We lost our first son at 19 weeks as well. The loss was discovered at our A/S, so the weeks leading up to that milestone is extremely stressful for me. I rely heavily on my Doppler to try and ease some of my fears. Movement doesn't even help because I had felt inconsistent movement in the weeks leading up to our loss.

    As other ladies have mentioned, take it one day at a time. Many HUGS to you.

  • Thanks to all!! It's comforting to hear from others who share my concerns.
  • I had my loss at 18 weeks, discovered at our a/s. The days leading up to our a/s this time was rough. I did rely more on my Doppler than I had (i set myself days to use it). Last week I passed the point at which I delivered my angel. Knowing that her little sister is healthy eased my mind (a bit). I also take each day as they come and repeat the mantras. I also set little milestones for myself to make it to. It has helped the days past and I can celebrate each step of the way.
