Home after NICU, missing pregnancy

Hi everyone, first time posting - we brought our gorgeous daughter home from NICU 2 weeks ago, and now the dust has settled from a premature labour and 2 weeks of constant stress spending most of my time in the hospital, I've noticed I'm feeling quite tearful. Not all the time, but I feel angry that my little girl had this experience, and I feel like I was robbed of my last month of being pregnant/having her safe in my tum! Does this ring any bells for anyone else?

My baby was a week early & spent a week in nicu. I was very tearful & definitely had the baby blues, I felt robbed of the first week of his life as I found neonatal hard - the nurses were so overbearing! Your definitely not alone. I hope you are enjoying being all together now 😘

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
