Pregnancy

*Trigger warning* Here we go again...

We have just found out last week that I'm pregnant again.

The past 4 years we have been TTC on and off which has resulted in 3 MMC at 9 weeks and 1 spontaneous MC at 4 weeks.
Our last baby died in January this year and I'm still grieving and emotionally recovering from surgery. We are still waiting for the test results. Our sweet baby took us a very long and painful year to conceive (PCOS)

Since then we have actively been avoiding pregnancy. Following my app which predicts ovulation. I had no worries as I don't conceive easily, even when it's timed perfectly cycle after cycle.
I was booked to have a copper coil fitted at the end of April
But in true Sod's Law fashion I randomly ovulated early (never happened before, it's always late if anything) and fell pregnant. I even took the MAP when my app suddenly brought ovulation forward. It clearly didn't work 🤔

I can't get excited. We never wanted to have to go through yet another MMC. It's just too hard and has beaten us down immensely. I know for a fact this one will be no different to the others.
My recurrent miscarriage team have told me that there are no 'reassurance' scans for the foreseeable. My only scan will be at 12 weeks - by then I could have a dead baby inside me for at least 3 weeks.

I'm terrified I will start to love this baby like I did all the others. I need to know how not to bond as I simply can't go through the agony of babyloss again.

How can I distance myself from this one? It's not even like I can go out and do things to take my mind off it!

I wish I could be like everyone else and have hope and no worries. It seems like the whole world just has babies with no trouble (in my small world anyway)

And of all the times I could get pregnant It had to be during a fucking pandemic...

I don't know what I'm asking really, just tips on how to not get my hopes up like I have every single time.

Your gorgeous little boy will forever be such a special little miracle and right now he has no clue the joy he has brought to you. Hope you settle into family life well. Lots of love to you all. 💙

@Frazzlerock: Congratulations, I'm so pleased for you.
I too had a little boy on August 12th and followed your story on and off during my pregnancy on mumsnet. I was rooting for you the entire time.
I'm surprised though and a bit jealous that your DP was allowed to stay with you in the hospital after delivery, mine wasn't due to Covid. I was stuck in the hospital by myself for 5 days after a horrible delivery and had to fend for myself.

Congratulations once again, he is so so cute :) xxx

@frazzlerock I am so pleased to see your update. You and I were on an earlier antenatal thread together, where we both sadly lost our little ones. To see your little guy as I hear my little 12 week old lady snoring away tells me sometimes things do go right in the world. I couldn't be happier for you.

I've just found your post and read your whole story. It made me cute I'm so happy for you. I had 7 years of infertility, gave up then suddenly I'm 30 weeks pregnant. She is a small but healthy almost 5yr old now.

Good luck and enjoy the baby cuddles

He's beautiful. Congratulations. Reading through this whole thread after some bleeding myself and a wobbly screening test result (now awaiting Harmony results) has reassured me no end. The universe can be good. Sending you all the love in the world.

Congratulations on your gorgeous gorgeous DS. I commented on your other thread when your waters went but I didn't realize you had been on such a very tough journey to get there. It must be such a relief to have him here safely even if a bit prem, at least that was how I felt when my DS turned up at 33 weeks last year. I hope you're recovering well after the crash delivery. Sounds like he was a really good size for 34 weeks, hope he is doing well.
