@mrs_massie Oh honey, I am so sorry for your loss. I was really rooting for you. I know you were scared. I thought both yours would make it. Thank you for the condolences, I think I can relate to what you're feeling. You start to have all these hopes and dreams about how you will raise them, and then the loss happens. Like any mc I guess, except for the bittersweet aspect of still carrying on and trying to "switch" or re-calibrate your pregnancy plans.
Me, I've been slowly adjusting and trying to be happy with what I have. Other people kind of brush off my grief because they think as long as you're still getting one, that's all that matters. They think "oh well. Too bad, but you're still pregnant. You should be happy." But you understand. It's okay to feel bad too! Sending some serious regards.
Hi @texas_t, a couple more thoughts. I forgot to say I'm sorry for the loss of your dad. It helps if you have faith to think of loved ones on the other side, happy and together. Yeah, and what your doctor said. I know he/she meant it as a comfort, but that wouldn't work for me. You are grateful for your son, but you didn't want to sacrifice one to save the other. You wanted both. It's so strange and... tough. For me anyway. Thanks for listening. I hope I'm not triggering you by talking about this.
