From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU!

in Pregnant after a Loss
Hi, everyone!

I've been quite inactive and distant for the past couple of weeks (you probably haven't noticed since I didn't post that much anyway). Being PGAL has been a difficult journey for me and I am sure you all can relate. The reason for my distance was nothing other than the fact that I was having a very difficult time dealing with my approaching milestones. With my son, my water broke at 21 weeks and I delivered him at 22 weeks. The anxiety that I felt in the days leading up to both milestones was almost numbing. Though my husband also lost a son, I didn't feel that he truly understood where I was coming from.. he didn't truly understand my pain. No one in my life could relate to my fears and concerns, and often times I felt that it'd probably be best to keep them to myself. 

BUT... Here I am today at 22 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I am officially the most pregnant I have ever been and I feel completely blessed!  

I really wanted to take this as an opportunity to thank you all for helping me (emotionally) with getting through my pregnancy thus far. The support from this group is overwhelmingly amazing. It is so wonderful to me that a group of individuals, near and far, from different walks of life, with different experiences and varying beliefs can be so supportive towards one another. THANK YOU for helping me to see that I was never truly alone. THANK YOU for helping me understand that everything I have felt was normal and understandable. THANK YOU for sharing your experiences with me. From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU!

I that I can help someone the way that you all have helped me, and I pray that we all get to bring home our healthy rainbow babies. 
Be blessed, everyone!

    ((HUGS)). I'm glad you made it past your milestone. I totally understand the fear (as I'm sure most ladies here do). I have a near breakdown each time I have approached my loss milestone (my A/S). So many people tell me to relax and that everything will be fine, but they just don't get it. That is why I come here!
