Pregnant after a Loss

Tiptoing in, hopefully to stay

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  As of Friday, I go here now.  This my first pregnancy since my MMC in July.  I will be 37 at the end of January, DH is 39, and I have a 2 1/2 yo DD.  I am happy but trying not to think about it too much.  I'm still terrified, but I have made what I consider major steps including, putting down the thermometer and planning to go to the gym next week.  I know there is nothing I did to cause the loss, my Dr. said given my age it more than likely was just a bad egg, but the what ifs are still there.  Our dating U/S isn't until the end of December, but I am hoping once we reach that milestone the worry will ease a bit.  I thought the 2WW was rough, but I'm afraid this 5WW is going to be one of the longest 5 weeks of my life.  I can't wait to get to know everyone and just wanted to say hi so it doesn't seem like some random stranger is replying to posts.

  • Welcome! Very sorry for your previous loss.

  • Congrats! Remember the PgAL mantras and I hope this will be your rainbow sibling for your DD. I'm almost in the same boat as you as I've had 2 losses trying for a sibling. Is your EDD in Aug?

    Thanks everyone.  The mantras are definitely a comfort. @SpartyKim, yes I am due August 3 according to FF.  I'll probably intro later today. @Samuelismomma I am so glad I get to be here for the last few weeks of your pregnancy.
