Pregnancy after stillborn

[Sofiiee]

Hi everyone,

In October last year my little boy was born sleeping. I am now 10 weeks pregnant with my rainbow 🌈 but this pregancy feels completely different to any of my other previous. I'm constantly exhausted, hungry and lethargic. My skin is terrible and where I would normally have terrible sickness I've only has a little nausea. I've read about mums going on to have multiples after a loss and I guess I'm wondering how common this is as I can't shake the feeling there maybe more than one 😅.

Sorry for the long story xxxx

Not the same, but I had surprise twins after dd1 died….weirdly when she was still alive I just knew I was going to have twins, so maybe you have the same feeling.

Sorry about your son. Can you get a private scan to check how many are in there :)

Oh I'm sorry about your daughter, but yes maybe it's a mother's intuition. I can't have a private one as I'm due one at my local hospital anytime now because of the circumstances surrounding my last pregnancy. So I guess I'll have to wait a little while longer xxx

A gentle congratulations on your rainbow pregnancy 😘

My little girl was stillborn at 37 weeks at the start of last year and I am now 22 weeks pregnant again (just one in there!).

I think PAL is just EXHAUSTING. My first pregnancy was a breeze by comparison (until the end) but this one has come with all the symptoms (nausea, bad skin, insomnia, etc). Every little twinge (or lack of) I'm reading into it. I think losing a baby at late term makes you so hyper vigilant with the next pregnancy.

Thank you and same to you too 😊. Yes I agree its definitely taking its toll. Such a scary journey, I hope all goes well for you xx

My daughter was still born at 30 weeks until then it was that easy I had no symptoms. A year later when I was pregnant again I felt very different. I was tired through lack of sleep and worry. Every twinge I felt worried me. And every time the baby was still I worried.

I guess that is understandable, and I feel very much the same sure it will get worse as the end approaches but praying for a miracle xxxx
