Me, I am preggers again atm I have 2 gorgeous ds after my beautiful dd was stillborn.
I fell pregnant with ds1 about 4 weeks after dd was born. It was extremely stressful and difficult but the only way I could imagine getting through th grief of loosing my dd.

It worked, I am ok, kiddies are ok and although Ive had quite a few mc's inbetween them all I know I can cope as they are not as bad as loosing my dd.

I don't have any personal experience of this but wanted to let you know that a friend has had two boys following the stillbirth of her first son.

Hi there

My DS2 was stillborn just before christmas last year, it is the hardest thing to every have to go through and I'm so sorry for your lose.

We decided to TTC straight away, well not try so much as not prevent and I'm happy to say that I'm 8 weeks pg now. I will say that I'm more scared about this pg than I have been about any other and it will be a long and nervous few months but the thought of holding my baby is keeping me going.

Best of luck and if you want to talk to me I'm here

So sorry to hear you'd had a still birth. I hope you and your partner are getting all the support you need.

A friend of mine had little girl born asleep earlier this year ... but she has just found out that she is expecting again!

Best of luck

oopsadaisyangel - thanks so much for your message and congratulations on your wonderful news. We lost our DD just days before Christmas too and only now feel ready to think about the future. Your message has given me hope - thanks!
