Feeling bad ?

Question

Does anyone else feel bad because you can’t bring yourself to being too excited or happy ? My reasoning is , we lost 2 back in July & Sept 2017 . We went through a d&c; . Today , we got our pregnancy confirmed and they reassured us that they will take the extra step to make sure this pregnancy works .. my husband & I are being hopefully & positive but we’re so scared 😔

Answer

We are in a similar situation, I am on my third pregnancy too after 2 losses.  I had/am having a difficult time feeling excited, although the more time passes with everything being good the better I am doing.  My husband on the other hand... he is having the hardest time with this pregnancy.  I know it is because he is afraid of another loss, but I struggle with his lack of enthusiasm.   
I don’t know how far along you are, but things got a little better for us when we had 11 week ultrasound and everything was good (we’ve never made it that far). And now that I’m 14 weeks and officially in second trimester I am feeling slightly better again.  I think it will really lessen my anxiety when we are confirmed to be still healthy and officially in second trimester. My next appointment is Feb 15 and I can’t wait! 
So I don’t really have any advice for you, but you’re definitely not alone!  If you’re like me at all, the excitement will come slowly, but it will come.

Answer

I’m 17 weeks and people keep asking me if I’m excited. I just answer it doesn’t feel real yet. I really won’t be excited until I feel movement

Answer

Yeah, I think it’s natural. I lost my first daughter at 24 weeks so I don’t want to get myself too excited because of the worry’s of a second time. I’m sorry for your losses but try not to stress it’s no good for you or baby. Good luck with your bean 💕

Hang in there! It’s such a tough road to travel, I had 3 miscarriages within a year and it can make you really jaded. I have no idea if it helped or not, but I used progesterone as soon as I found out I was pregnant this last time and kept using it until the 2nd trimester started. I know some Dr’s don’t believe in it, but my little man is 4 months old today, so something worked!

Answer

I completely understand how you feel. I had a miscarriage last year in Oct. Went in for my 2nd prenatal appt and the baby heartbeat was at 90 bpm at 7.2 weeks. The heartbeat dropped to 72 4 days later. It was awful. Last time, I had went to Buy Buy Baby to look at nursery stuff and baby things just to turn around the next day to find out I was going to miscarry. Now that I’m almost 12 weeks pregnant, I’m glad I’m further along than I was previously but I get soooo nervous to where I don’t even want to look up baby names because the “what if’s” play through my head. Ugh....it’s hard. But we will all be able to hold our rainbow babies soon!

Answer

I totally understand what you are going through. I had a missed miscarriage right before halloween last year and I just found out im pregnant again. At 8 weeks there was a strong heartbeat and everything was fine, then at my 12 week appointment I found out I lost my little gummy bear. It shook me to the core. Right now im just trying to be thankful for each day and every symptom, even the nausea. I hope that you recieve a beautiful, healthy rainbow this year.
