hi there,my hubby and i are ttc baby number 2(this will be our 1st month trying),we have a beautiful baby girl in march last year and shes such a treasure that we've decided nows the time to try for a little brother or sister.x
Unfortunatly the path to getting our baby has been a long one as i suffered a stillbirth of my 33week old son in may 2005,and went on to have another miscarriage in the september that year.We left it awhile and then eventually got preg in june 2007,and went on to have my daughter.It was a really mental battle for myself though,hoping to get past every milestone there was and then reaching the 33 week mark and remembering what could have been with my son.
My daughter has made me soo happy and i'm so excited about having another,just so scared about the whole 'pregnancy' thing and just wishing there was a button i could push to bypass the preganancy and just have the baby at the end!!(wishful thinking huh!?)...
I'd love to hear from any others ttc and poss had a similar situation to mine,would love to chat and get/provide abit of support!
Hope to hear from people.x.x

Hi I can sympathise but my situation isnt quite the same....... My first ds was born prem at 26 weeks and survived for 2 hours. I had to wait several months to get pregnant again as i was having dental work done. My second sons was conceived 9 months after my first ds died and I had a very nervewracking pregnancy, my consultant was fantastic and saw me every two weeks and made me have a weeks bedrest(due to pre eclampsia) my second ds was born 2 weeks prem in July 1996. I wish you lots of luck and when you do get preganant again explain your fears to your consultant... Im sure that he/she will be helpful!!

wannabump - I also suffered from a stillbirth in May 2005. Unfortunately it seems as if our DS was a miracle because we haven't been able to have any since and he took 5 years ttc.

I do wish you peace and reassurance for your next little bundle and wholeheartedly agree with lottiejenkins - let your midwife/ consultant know all of your worries and fears.

I hope it happens for you soon.
