how do you ever feel safe again?

Question

I'm sorry in advance. I remember during those first crucial weeks of my first pregnancy I would get so annoyed at all the MC posts.  I understood people's worries, but it frightened me and I wanted to believe it wasn't going to happen to me.  Then it happened to me. Basically this is for anyone pregnant with rainbow babies. I just got my BFP yesterday on a digital CB. For days I was getting VVFL on all dye tests, and my lines on FR are still really faint, but the fact that I got a positive on the digital made me finally say "yes, I am pregnant."  I didn't want to even call the dr for fear of hearing low betas. I am afraid of having a chemical. I am afraid of another missed micscarriage. I am just afraid to even acknowledge I am pregnant with my rainbow baby. For those beautiful Glow ladies who have had this terribly unfortunate experience, how am I ever to feel safe again?

Answer

This is my home screen because I need the daily reminder.

Answer

Girl, I feel like I could have wrote your post myself, as it describes what I am feeling exactly. I am so excited to be pregnant again after my miscarriage, and I really just want to enjoy it, but I am terrified of becoming too attached, because my last miscarriage completely destroyed me emotionally. It was only two months ago, and I feel like I am still recovering from it, so it is very hard to feel excited about this. We just have to learn to appreciate that fact that today we are pregnant, and everything else is out of our control.

This is a post I needed to see because now I know I'm not alone. I had a M/C 6 years ago at 9 weeks and am currently pregnant again after deciding to try again, I am 4+3 and due June 3rd. Every time I go to the bathroom I'm terrified of seeing blood, every little ache and pain scares me. I have to keep telling myself that all this stress isn't going to help. I keep thinking I'm crazy and all alone in this. It's comforting to see I'm not the only one going through this. Thank you all for being amazing women and sticky baby dust to all of us!!!

You too!  I'd love create a group for those of us in the same boat. Or at least share in the journey.

In the same bait! I had a missed miscarriage in July ( out second baby) and I just found out I am pregnant yesterday with a htp. I am only about 4 weeks but I am almost too nervous to even call the doctors office. - I want to be so excited but at the same time I can't even get a grip on if it's real bc I am so scared of losing it :(

Answer

Honestly, I won't ever feel safe until my rainbow baby is alive in my arms. However, I do have certain milestones to cross that will make me feel a little better: 8w3d (when Rosie's heart stopped), 10w1d (the day I found out Rosie's heart had stopped), and 12w (when the trisomy screening comes back normal as Rosie died of trisomy 15). We will all get thru this a day at a time. Together. 💕

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Finally getting pregnant again after a loss is such a mix of emotions!  I am beyond excited and terrified at the same time.  I did end up going to the doctor this morning to check HCG.  It came back at 404.  Now I have the dreaded wait until Monday when we see if it is doubling.  I'm not sure what advice I have for you bc I need some myself!  Just though I would share.  Good luck, I hope you have a safe healthy pregnancy!

Answer

I cried all day today because I want to love this baby and I am terrified I might lose them. You're not alone. It's so scary to be pregnant after losing our little bean. I literally wrote inspirational quotes on my bathroom mirror to remind me to enjoy this time for however long I'm pregnant this time. Be it 9 days, 9 weeks, or 9 healthy months.

All my thoughts to all the ladies that are going through the same. We all deserve happy healthy babies!! 👶🏻🙏🏻👶🏻🌈

Answer

It sucks that we've all been through this, but it's so good to know I'm not alone. I start to get really excited and then I get mad at myself for getting "too attached" already... Hopefully this will be the One for all of us and we can all shout for Joy in 9 months... Prayers and sticky babies for all!

Answer
