My friends' baby died at 2 months old in January this year.
They are now ttc, not counting days etc but have stopped using protection. The wife's period was two days late this month and she took a test that was negative. She said she felt relieved because when the reality hit that she could be pregnant she panicked that she was replacing her beautiful baby boy.
She now feels confused. She does definitely want a baby, she's scared of being pregnant and she knows it'll be a tough one emotionally. She's also scared that she'll forget her ds1 or that she'll feel guilty for being so happy with another child.
The husband desperately wants a baby.
I sent them a link to the SANDS website with info on pregnancy after a child's death.
Is there any other advice people can offer.
They are such wonderful people, they deserve happiness.
