Pregnant after loss

[PegasusOnFire]

Ok this thread is for women, and men who are expecting again after lossing a child. It can be for any reason, lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, or any other type of loss.

I lost a baby in April of this year. My hopes for this thread are to share what some of our fears are and how we can help eachother through them. It always helps to talk to someone who knows what you are going through. You can also post something about your lost child if you would like.

My first pregnancy I lost to a miscarriage at 10 weeks. I think it was the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. I had so much pain both physically and emotionally. I thought there was something wrong with me. I was terrified that I would never be able to carry a baby to term.

Now, 6 years later, I have two beautiful and healthy children and will have another one in April. When I look back on my miscarriage now I can see the blessings in it. When I found out that I was pregnant I was only 19 and we had only been married a month. I know now that I was not ready to be a mom. I didn't do anything to cause the miscarriage. I just think it was God's way of taking care of something that was wrong.

With my current pregnancy I started bleeding at about 8 week (just like I did when I miscarried). At first I started to get really upset and was so worried that I would miscarry again, but then I had to stop and remind myself that God is in control and if this baby is meant to be in our family then I would just have to relax and have faith in God. I prayed that God's will be done no matter what that was. Everything is fine now, Thank God!!!

Anyway, That's my experience with my loss.

Yay for you MsTodd. I am still praying for you.

It has now been about 6 months since I lost Corey, and I have been up and down with my grief. I love this baby that I am carrying, but am still a bit pariond that I am going to lose it. Though I am now almost half way through this pregnancy, I am not going to stop being afraid, until the day I hold my newborn babe. I just really started feeling the baby move on Sunday during service and then last night the baby gave me a good hard kick. So I think it will start to get easier now that I can feel the baby. I love these little milestones. Though I still do not look pregnant.

I was almost 10 weeks when we lost our third child in May. I fear the same thing will happen. We aren't telling family and friends until we can hear the heartbeat, but it is so hard to keep things a secret. I just don't want to have to live through another loss like that again. I'm just praying that this baby will be healthy and that I will make it through the pregnancy. If he/she continues like his/her brother and sister I may be looking at a 10 lb. baby. My daughter was 8.8 and my son was 9.4
