This will be a space to discuss pregnancy after prior loss(es)- I figure we’ll start with monthly check ins / ongoing chat for now.
TW for pregnancy and infant loss applies to the whole thread. No need to TW individual posts for these topics.
Feel free to introduce yourself and if you want to share your angels with us, you are welcome to here. Please spoiler photos (it makes loading on mobile smoother.) feel free to share any feelings related to being pregnant after losing a pregnancy or infant.
Let’s keep this a safe open space for these complicated feelings.
Re: Pregnant after a loss- check in (feb)
I am now pregnant again with our third, but the results aren't looking good atm and my Dr has suggested a missed miscarriage. I'll find out more on Thursday when I go for my viability scan xx
We're trying to remain positive and reading successful stories on these forums brings me hope, but my GS only increased by 3mm in 8days, and my beta hCG only increased by 5,000 in 10 days-
5w4d - 8,000
7w - 13,000
I am really hoping that when we go on Thursday, there will be a heartbeat xx
Easier said than done (which I know bc I’m going thru it too after 4 losses)…. Deep breath and when the anxiety starts to weigh down on your chest and that sour stomach feeling returns, remind urself that this time will have a happy ending and try to calm down. The stress can’t be good for the lil one inside of us. Again, easier said than done and even as I type this my hearts pounding bc I feel your pain and know your shadowing fear.. we have this. We can do this! God forbid it end in suffering… we cry, we scream, we pray and we try again because as women we are strong and can keep pushing on even when we keep getting knocked down. I’ll be praying for every single one of y’all in this thread and hope we all come out the other side with chubby little drool monsters.
