Hi all, havent posted in here before have been a little on the march birth club but wasnt aware there were other forums! I am 18 weeks pregnant after losing my baby boy noah at 33 weeks almost 1 year ago due to congenital CMV. It will be noahs 1st birthday on saturday and was wondering if anyone else had any advice on how they got through it, im totally lost dont know how to act at all im either crying or not crying. I think my husband and i have spent the whole year trying to make ourselves busy so we dont feel the hurt of what happened and its all come at once. Its hard to enjoy being pregnant when you're terrified and grieving

I'm so sorry for the loss of Noah. Someone on the TTC after loss board went and took photos around town that day. It was beautiful. I hope you're able to find something that feels right for you and your family.

This time I'm not leaving without you.
I haven't experienced a late loss, but even being an early loss momma I've found that the fear of loss never truly goes away. I remind myself daily there's nothing I can do to jinx this pregnancy, this is a new and completely different pregnancy than my others, and I'm thankful to be pregnant again.
I think the lanterns are a beautiful way to celebrate Noah's birthday. (((Hugs)))
