TTC ANXIETY FOR BABY 2

[Optimistic66]

Hi

Im starting trying to conceive and feel so anxious regarding not being able to fall pregnant.

i he’s a m/c prior to baby #1 and all the anxiety i feel has come flooding back.

my periods are super light almost only one day and could easily use a single pantry liner. IRREGULAR periods which is all completely different to how it was before my son. google tells me i don’t have a thick enough womb lining.

i feel really silly but i have no one to talk to as everyone i know is either pregnant and just had a baby or baby 2 or on the extremely been trying for 2+ year and still trying to conceive baby one.

not quite sure what point of this post but wanted to see if anyone else felt the same meh feeling

👋🏼 I have 1 DD who is 19 months now. Took us almost 2 years with some on/off trying and one MMC during that time. We started trying for no 2 when she she was 1 in the summer. Fell pregnant first month but miscarried a few weeks later and still trying now. I'm trying to stay positive that we've had 3 pregnancies and one healthy baby so know we can get pregnant, it just seems to take us some time.

It is a strange feeling though trying for number 2. It doesn't feel as desperate (yet) as trying for number 1 but there's still the anxiety and worry it won't work out again and that's quite scary!

My periods have changed since DD too and are a lot lighter. I have acupuncture now (started when trying to conceive DD) and it's really helped. I only started it again recently and my cycles are already getting more 'normal'. I also stopped breastfeeding recently so I don't know if that's helping too. It's ££ but worth it I think! I was sceptical before I first went but now really believe it does make a difference and it helps me feel like I'm doing something proactive and more in control.
