Surprise Pregnancy

[ljortiz22]

Well, I found out around 4 weeks ago that I am expecting again. My EDD is Nov 13. I was preventing, but God has other plans. Dominic was a birth control baby also. I am really scared. A year and a month later after my baby boy dies, I am suppose to have another baby. I was really upset at first. I have come to accept it and I am trying to be ok with having another baby. It seems that I am starting the grieving process all over again. Tomorrow is Dominic's 6 month angelversary. I can't believe I have another life growing in me. It is hard to think about moving on. Thanks for listening. <3

Congratulations! I won't lie and say it's easy ~ it's NOT! I'm just about 2 weeks out from having Mason and I'm so scared but know God is much bigger than I am.

I will be praying for a healthy pregnancy ~ keep us posted and know regardless of how your feeling were here to support you.

LeAnn,
I can understand your fears having another baby after the loss of your precious Dominic. It's hard to explain...don't feel as if you are replacing Dominic with this new baby or beat yourself up that you can be happy about your pregnancy now. Being scared now is normal. I also had fears after my angel and finding out I was expecting a babe (both times actually). I will keep you in my prayers. We are here if you need to talk. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your preg :) Your fears are completely normal, its been a year and 3 mths since the loss of our daughter and we are expecting another baby girl in July, were very excited but as Linda said its def. not easy....easier said than done but try to relax and enjoy the preg as best you can, your angel Dominic is looking down on his lil brother or sister and will watch over you as all our angels are doing....please know were here if you need to talk...

It is so true what has been said here. I found out I was prego again just 4 months after lossing Payton. There is one year and month and 6 days between my boys. Ely was born March 10th I do know your fears and anxiety and you will till your baby is safe in your arms!But once you have this baby your heart will find that joy again and a little hope. Will keep you in my prayers.

I guess I never realy dealt with death. I had 2 c/s 15 months apart and now I am having a third about a year and month after my last c/s. My rational mind tells me the baby will be ok, but I feel like I am going to bleed to death or something going wrong because my c/s are so close. I am just scared of the unknown I guess.

If it gives you any comfort, my doctor told me that a few months is really long enough to heal after a c-section to get pregnant. The uterus doesn't start super-stretching (my word not his!) until later in the pregnancy. He said you're not that much more healed after a year than you are after a few months. Now, I'm not handing out medical advice or anything, but I just want you to try and not worry. Surprise children are God's special blessings.

You will have many people praying for you. And at it's core, despite the worry and fear, this is a beautiful thing. Congratulations!

That being said, I'm scared of another pregnancy, too, but I'm going to hope and pray for the best. I guess that is all we can do.

LeAnn,
Congratulations on the new member of your family. I'll be praying for a healthy child and serenity for you during your pregnancy:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
