  Hi! This is my 5th pregnancy as well. We experienced a loss in October 2024. I’m feeling the same way. So excited, so thankful but so nervous and constantly second guessing everything. I’m just trying to speak positive and stay calm. Excited for all of us!!

  Thank you for sharing your story—sending so much strength and positive vibes your way. I know how overwhelming it can be to second guess every little symptom, especially after loss. Sometimes, when my mind gets too heavy, I look for silly distractions to lighten the mood—like browsing some funny stuff online. Believe it or not, I once came across some fat jokes to make someone cry that, while a bit outrageous, actually helped me laugh through the stress. Humor can be a small but powerful way to cope on tough days. Wishing you all the best on this journey!

  I was relieved to see this chain about pregnancy after loss. I lost my firstborn daughter to SIDS in November 2024. It’s been the hardest thing I have ever been through. I am so grateful to be pregnant again but also terrified because I know that you can do everything right and have a healthy baby one day and they can be gone the next day. That being said I am trying to channel gratitude for each moment I get with this little one even in the womb. Grateful to have this community for extra support!

  This is my 4th pregnancy but I only have 1 child earthside. Its been so scary after 2 losses, but I try to take it day by day and I find myself more excited as time goes on. I think after I see the ultrasound this Friday I'll feel even better.

  Congratulations! I’ve had 4 losses before this and I’m pregnant again! Hard not to keep focusing on the symptoms and just let it be, but I find taking walks,watching movies, and sleep help me ease my mind. And the best thing is going to church to reset my mental.

  Thank you to everyone for sharing your stories! I’m so sorry to hear of all of these painful losses . It can be such a lonely journey. I know I didn’t feel like sharing with many people what had happened. It’s also hard when ppl make comments that are really hurtful (even when they intended them to be helpful). I got the “It was just a quick blip in time. In a few months you won’t even remember it.”  All of this to say that I’d love to recommend a book that helped me. “Unexpecting” it covers so many situations all dealing with loss. 

  I’m excited for this journey and that we have each other to talk to! 

  Has anyone had their first ultrasound? I’ve only had bloodwork this far. 

  
  

  Hugs!

  Congrats!
  I just found out I'm expecting and this is only my second pregnancy, unfortunately I lost my first early on in March this year. The first pregnancy was a surprise, and it made us realize we did want to be parents. My husband and I are both February babies, so we're excited to potentially add another to our family. Sending positive vibes!

  Hi! This is also my 5th pregnancy. I have a 9 year old and a 2 year old and have also had two miscarriages. I also keep questioning all of my symptoms…are they strong enough? If I have a good day I’m worried that my hormone levels are
  dropping and that I’ll miscarry again. It’s weird to be excited about nausea symptoms but knowing I have them makes me feel confident that they’re still alive. It’s a lot…

  Thank you all for sharing your stories. Pregnancy after loss feels so isolating at times and simply hearing these stories helps me cope. This is my third pregnancy. My first ended in a loss at 13 weeks and second was a chemical pregnancy. I just had my 8 week ultrasound and cried tears of joy when hearing the heartbeat thinking this will give me some relief however I also heard a strong heatbeat with my first so fears of a potential loss are still raging right now. I too am over analyzing every symptom and paranoid every time I use the bathroom. Something that has been very helpful for my mental heath is when I find myself spiraling down a black hole of negative thoughts I instantly repeat these words to myself: my baby is safe, my baby is growing, my baby is heathy, I will meet my baby. This has helped positively direct my thoughts and eased some anxiety. 

  
  

  I pray that all of us get to meet our healthy babies in February! You’re all in my thoughts and prayers.

  I'm also expecting my double rainbow baby in February 2026 after experiencing two back to back losses last year. This will be my first baby. Sending so much support and good baby dust and energy to you and all the other mamas out there!
