Hi everyone this is my first post. Totally new to this so help me out.

Just wanted to say welcome and I am so sorry for your loss.

Hi Tunia

I'm so sorry to hear of your awful loss I've no advice as such but didn't want this to go unanswered.

There is an ongoing thread in the Bereavement section for mums who have lost little ones - they're a lovely bunch and have built a great support network for each other. It might be worth posting on there for advice? I know a few of them are pregnant again and I'm sure they'd love to help you out

All the very best x

Hi tunia1

We lost our daughter at 18 weeks last Dec. I am now 6.6 weeks pg. It has taken a while for my body to get back to 'normal'. TBH, although it didn't feel like it at the time, it has been good to have soem time to grieve before getting pg again.

Have you joined the SANDS forum?

It is still very early days for you, and I wish you gentle days ahead.

Hi cece

Congratulations on your great news thanks for sharing your positive story. I think I have lost all confidence in myself and I guess my body. I really want to complete my family and have another baby soon so I guss i will have to keep trying it is soooo hard up and mostly down on this roller coaster. Will join Sands Forum.

Wish you all the best

cece · 27/09/2008 13:57

Thanks, I am a nervous wreck at the moment and probably will be till about 24 weeks ish I guess.

The SANDS forum has a ttc section where you should be able to meet lots of lovely ladies in the same situation.

Good luck.

I can totally understand that . I think you switch one set of worries (trying to concieve) with another (when you concieve) I know this may sound corny but stay positive and try to enjoy

hi Tunia1
Im so so sorry for your loss.
I had a stillbirth almost 3 years ago at 28weeks and I was heart broken at 1st. I was sure I didnt want any more kids (I already had another son) but then one month I changed my mind & I fell pregnant straight away but sadly had a miscarriage. Two months later I was pregnant again and now have a 18 month georgous little boy The pregnancy was really hard as I was always worring but in the end it was worth it. And just found out im pregnant again!
Your body may need time to get back to normal and stress might not help either.
If you ever need a chat then im around. x

Me again! the ladies on here are a great help.
Theyve all been through losing a child and are great at giving advice on anything, having a natter or just listening. feel free to post if you like they really will make you feel welcome. x
