We have just found out that I am pregnant again after our loss in August last year.
How has anyone else managed their next pregnancy(ies) after loss?
I never stopped taking the pregnancy and prenatal vitamins so I feel good on the nutrients side and I actually feel good about this pregnancy like I did with my daughter whereas the baby we lost I don’t have a good feeling from the moment we found out.
What does get me sometimes is the chances of it happening again or a miscarriage.

Honestly it depends what could’ve been the cause of the still birth unfortunately, my first baby was a still birth with both babies I felt so sick but after my first we found out I had an incompetent cervix which was what caused my son being born still born because they didn’t catch it early enough my cervix opened early and started dilating and waiting in the waiting for 2 hours they didn’t discover it until I was fully dilated if they had caught it they could stitched my cervix before that would’ve given us more time as my first was only 17 weeks when I had him, when getting pregnant with my second I made sure to get a high risk doctor and they stitched my cervix at 14 weeks, and I had him at 34 weeks completely healthy, if there was a reason for it theres ways to prevent it happening, but sometimes these things do happen unfortunately it’s awful and painful but I think as long as you are prepared and have the right doctor they will watch out for any signs of that

I will say just because you lost one doesn’t mean you’ll lose another, I understand that stress because I was personally terrified my whole pregnancy with my second born son
