Hi, my daughter was born sleeping at 38+6 on 2nd March this year, we found out 2 days before that her heart had stopped beating, it was the hardest thing ever having to give birth naturally knowing that our baby was already dead. Her death has devastated my partner and I and some days i don't see a way forward, just feel like i am in a very long and very dark tunnel with no end in sight.
I found out on Tuesday that i am 5 weeks pregnant, we are both happy about it, and now have a glimmer of hope, a light at the end of that dark tunnel, but as you can guess are both really nervous. It's not like an early miscarriage where once you pass that week the nervousness eases, we have the whole 9 months, although they have said that they will not let us go past 37 to 38 weeks this time, so only another 32 ish of complete paranoia to go.
We are trying to think positive and look to the future. But we are still grieving for our daughter, she's only been gone for 5 months.
We don't want people to think that we are over our daughter, because we are from it. We have no other living children.She was our first child.
Although over the moon about this one, just feel really confused at the moment and wondered if there is anyone else that has been through the same thing??
