Uncertainty

[KatePr]

Trigger warning: miscarriage

How do you manage the uncertainty of trying to conceive? We’ve been trying since May last year, had a miscarriage in April and have been trying again for 3 months. I just feel like my life is on hold because I could be pregnant in a month’s time. For example, we really want to get a new kitchen but I’m so stressed about what it would be like to be having major renovation work and no kitchen when pregnant but then we’ve been putting it off and I’m still not pregnant. I don’t know what to do.

I think you just have to get on with life as if nothings changed because in reality nothing does change until the baby is born. You being pregnant shouldn’t really affect getting your kitchen done. I’m 5 months currently and nothing pregnancy wise has effected things

You just have to do the things. I'm currently in the process of figuring out cancellation policies for holidays to Japan so I can book for early next year without worrying about losing money! My journey has been 4.5 years (plus a 2.5 year gap in the middle) and 3 MMCs so I've definitely learnt to just live life the best I can.
