Pregnant again

It’s the worst isn’t it. Have you rang your EPU and explained to them about your loss, as you will be given an early scan. I also opted for a reassurance scan last week even tho my 12 week scan is next Monday! My anxiety is through the roof and I’m not enjoying this pregnancy one bit. My first pregnant was a breeze and I loved it. Pregnancy after loss is so hard x
As silly as it sounds, every time I go to the toilet and see blood free tissue, I tell myself, "I am still pregnant" I have had a loss at 5 weeks and a loss at 8 weeks with twins and so far I am the furthest I've ever been pregnant before. First scan tomorrow, but I just keep telling myself that, and I seem to get by xx
@Deb this really resonated with me. That’s exactly what I’m doing too and going to the loo constantly to check and it gives me a small bit of relief to get through the day xx
@Victoria I’m still in touch with my bereavement midwife who is helping me organise the cremation and she said she will sort me out an early scan for 8 weeks for reassurance. Didn’t even ask as she offered it as soon as I told her I was pregnant which was really nice. I have a really good community midwife team who has seen me through my last two pregnancies and they have booked in to see me next week too x
@Amy thank you so much xx
I also have had anxiety after a loss, but I think you have to just try not to overthink everything. It’s so hard but also worrying about it won’t change anything. It sounds like your doing all the right things. I also wouldn’t feel guilty about being excited for the new pregnancy. It’s probably helped you in terms of dealing with the loss as well. I hope you can start to enjoy your pregnancy a bit more. Just trust your body and don’t overthink x
