Pregnancy After Loss

There is so much fear and unknowns involved with pregnancy after loss.

Before I was pregnant with my daughter in 2019, I had gone through 2 miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancies (one resulting in a miscarriage, the other needing emergency surgery).

I had experienced so much heartache and loss surrounding pregnancy that I truly didn’t believe anything good could come from it, for me at least. Everyone else seemed to have healthy pregnancies, or sweet little babies to love. I lost trust in my body that it could successfully and safely house a baby.

When I did finally have a healthy pregnancy a lot of moments were filled with worry and fear. I just wanted my baby to be in my arms, but knew she needed to spend 40 weeks growing.

New or unknown symptoms added to my anxiety and I made lots and lots of phone calls to my doctors office to make sure everything was ok.

It is such a mental battle walking through pregnancy after loss, and it’s not a small task. If you are walking through it now, just know you’re not crazy or overreacting. It is hard, your pain is valid and I promise there are other moms walking through it too. You’re not alone in the fear of having a pregnancy after losing one.
