A little out of place?

[DollPosse]

I feel like maybe I don't belong here, but then I feel like like I do. I am pregnant with my third baby. Altogether I have had four losses. This is my first pregnancy after my 2012 rainbow baby. I really want this pregnancy to work out. I am terrified that it won't though because of my previous history. I also feel hesitant about chatting here in this group because I did have my rainbow baby. I feel like though that you women probably are the only ones to understand that even with a rainbow baby I feel sort of haunted by the past.

Thanks for reading.

I dont see why you wouldn't belong here, we all have different backgrounds and histories but with one thing in common.

The fear of pal can be paralysing sometimes and it's good to have people to talk to who understand that feeling.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, how far along are you?

It's still a pregnancy after loss hon, everything changes after that and we need the support! I'm 5+2 after my angel in July and I have a dd who is just 2 xx

I have been also feeling a bit nervous about using this forum as I've got a rainbow baby after 2 losses. But losses are losses regardless of whether or not you have been gifted with a rainbow so we shouldn't feel we don't belong.

I am just over 4 weeks at the moment. I had a chemical last month so I guess you could say I've had 3 losses. I am a nervous wreck, can't focus on anything and worrying constantly, especially as I have bad cramps at the moment and some of them are in my lower back.

PAL is such a worrying time, and probably among the most stressful times you'll go through so you have every right to post on here and look for support on how you are feeling

I'm PARL (pregnant after recurrent losses) and have had 8 overall. It's hard, especially since I got pg without an AF after my last m/c in October. But I've been relying on the ladies here because they really do get it. It's nerve-wracking to be pg after losses but hang in there. I've got a DS and a DD to prove I can make it full term and I hang on to that fact. I also tell myself, "Today I am pregnant. Today I am enjoying this. I'll let tomorrow take care of itself."

Thanks for those lovely words dairymomma. I definitely needed to hear them. I only found out i was pg 2 days ago and i am now 5 weeks pg. I have been ttc baby number 1 since April 2011. I got my first bfp after 19 months but i mc at 6 weeks. Its taken us another year to get pg, so i am very scared at the mo. I just don't want to go through it all again. I'm finding it hard to enjoy my pregnancy and get excited. I want to and i am but im worried about losing this little one. I am going to try and relax and remember your words.
