Anyone expecting their 🌈 after a later loss?

Looking to connect with other mums that are expecting their rainbow babies, as overwhelmingly excited as I am I feel like my naivety to pregnancy has been lost and would love to talk to people that understand that things don’t always turn out ok.

A bit of background on me; we lost our beautiful little boy at 22+6 in July when I went into extremely early labour which they believe was caused by an incompetent cervix and an infection in my placenta, I also found out that I have Group B Strep.

We decided to try again fairly soon after and we’re so unbelievably fortunate to fall pregnant in our first month TTC.

I haven’t had the same symptoms as I did with my son which is both nice because they really are 2 completely different pregnancies but also worrying that my boobs don’t hurt as much lol

Estimated due date is 9th July 2020 but anywhere near May/June would be a miracle for me to get to.

Sadly once l get to 12 weeks that’s when the “hard work” starts with progesterone and cervical scans and cervical stitches to try and keep this baby cooking for as long as possible!

My first midwife appointment is on my little boys due date but I’m seeing it as something positive to do on that day and it’s a date to work towards, I’m also seeing my bereavement midwife next week to get a few concerns off my chest and hopefully ask if I can have an early scan around 7/8 weeks.

Please let me know your stories or feel free to message me, we’re all in this together!

For those of you that have read this and haven’t had any losses PLEASE don’t think I’m trying to be all doom and gloom it’s just unfortunately my reality xx
