pregnancy after a loss

Almost two years ago i had a incomplete miscarriage, A d&c was done. I was traumatized by the ordeal. I am now 26 weeks, and suddenly the emotions just slammed me. Between vivd memories and dreams it feels like i am going through the loss again only 10x worse. I was not very far along but. The loss is still more painful than any broken limb. I need logic on why this is happening. Why am i grieving all over again when i came to peace with it. Why is my memories of my baby hunting me. I really have no one to turn to. But i need something to help me work this through. I am a very logical person and rarely irrational. So to be like this is totally not like me. this was two years after my son was born so this is my first ppregnancy after my lost little one. Will this happen during every pregnancy i have from here on out? I need someone who can be a really good friend.

Re: pregnancy after a loss

  • I would say that everyone grieves differently. My experience after my losses was more of not able to get excited about pregnancy until after my loss milestones. No matter how I wanted to feel, I felt very detached. It was to the point where people who knew I was pregnant would ask why I wasn't happy about being pregnant. I think there is still a pregnancy after loss check in. I was never able to join in it because I knew it would make it worse for me, but for a lot of these ladies it was very helpful. Hugs.

  • There's a whole subforum on TB for PGAL mammas. I'd try posting there, I'm sure they will be able to offer you a lot of support.
