Happy times on top of tragic ones

[dreamastarr22]

Hey everyone. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with a 100% healthy and very active baby girl. She will be my first child, yet my second pregnancy. As this is a very exciting and anxious time for me, awaiting the arrival of my little one, I can't help but to think back to my first pregnancy.

My first pregnancy was 2 years prior to my current one. My first and this one was actually conceived around the same time, with only a couple weeks apart. My current pregnancy is being shared with my very supportive boyfriend, as my first was conceived with my ex husband. I think back as I do still have very many questions as to what went wrong with the first pregnancy. I miscarried anywhere between 7-15 weeks, but unknowingly carried around my little one that already passed for weeks. That fact alone devastated me. They said the cause was more than likely because of chromosomal mismatched.

I think a lot of my worries and my recent depression has been because of my first angels and my current little one's due date being only 2 weeks apart from each other. I try to keep a positive outlook of my loss from back when I was 17, but I fear that something may go wrong with my current pregnancy. From what my doctor told me, most women go on to carry full term and healthy babies after a miscarriage, as long as the mother is healthy. I've been told nothing is wrong with my little girl, but I still worry. Any advice on how to calm my nerves down and just enjoy the last couple of months of pregnancy?​

I am just recovering from my second MC but after my first MC I got pregnant very quickly after wards and coming up to the dd of mc baby I was scared and feeling down but those feelings did pass. it
is normal to worry and feel scared but sharing how you are feeling will help and may be some massage or something like that will help you relax if you feel you need it

I am not sure if it's something that we will ever get over. Some people focus more on it than others and they treat each loss as a child. If it works for them that is great. But for me I can't focus on the loss because it would never leave my thoughts.

I lost a singleton then twins. I am pg again. My singleton would have been born Sept 1 (at least the due date) in 2014 and my current due date is Sept 8 in 2015.

I am hoping that once the lo I am carrying is here it will change everything as I will have a baby to focus on.

Sorry for your loss. Its so hard being pg again after a loss and perfectly natural to worry. I'm nearly 33 weeks with my rainbow and I still worry that something will go wrong. But you have to try and stay positive and hope everything will be ok. The odds are it will be. During this pregnancy I heard my lil man's heartbeat at my midwife appointment exactly a year after my second loss. That was a very humbling experience. I've now only got about 7 weeks to my due date and I just want him here safe and sound.
