May be pregnant after MC.

[kazine]

The only time I've ever been pregnant before resulted in a miscarriage at about 6 weeks. The type of person I am meant that I was extremely attached to the baby as soon as I found out I was pregnant and the miscarriage devastated me. I have mental health problems, so the loss of the baby caused me to spiral into a suicidal depression. I could not cope with the loss of my baby at all. I just wanted to kill myself so I could be with him/her.

Now I'm absolutely terrified in case it happens again. It took me so long to get over, and I don't want to end up spiralling down into depression again.

How do you cope with being pregnant after losing a baby?

Well its a scary thought, but the key point is to stay positive. I had a miscarriage at 21 weeks. it was hard, sometimes felt impossible. But the most important thing is to remember that everything happens for a reason.( i know stupid right) I felt the same way when people would tell me that. But the truth is if I hadnt lost my little boy I wouldnt have met the man of my dreams. and I would have never understood the true meaning of love. To be honest I dont think we really ever get over it. But as time goes on it puts a smile on my face to know that my little boy is up there watching over me and no matter what I will always love him. It never goes away. They are our angels. specially chosen to watch over us. and when times seem hard, i always remember Well i made it through that. I can do this too. I hope this helps, and doesnt upset you in anyway. "Though you are not with me in the physical you are forever embedded into my heart"

Hi Girls,

I lost my baby boy at 25 weeks and it was very hard for me as well, I feel much more better now (I gave birth to my boy in February this year) but I will never forget my angel I think I may be pregnant now, I just need to wait till next Sunday to take a test. I don't know how I react for this pregnancy but I am expecting it and I would be so happy to carry my rainbow baby. I told my baby angel that I may be pregnant with his brother/sister and if so, I asked him to take care of him all the time till little one is born and after birth as well. I just desire so much my rainbow baby

hun its hard. I have had 3 I also have kids I have to explain each loss to. I just lost my baby at 13.2 weeks had a d&e at 14 weeks and I have depression and anger issues. I was very devastated and then I turned everything into anger I started lashing out at everyone for everything. I have since put myself on meds I hurt but I do not want to hurt those I love. I have yet to accept my baby girl just died I hope I can heal. I thought I was strong but man this is beating me up.

I hope it gets better for you. I am here to lend an ear if you need it.
