Pregnant after late loss.

[Halli2020]

I lost my son in August at 21 weeks, it was a tfmr due to multiple things wrong with his organs. A post mortem revealed it wasn't anything genetic. I'm now coming up to my 12 week scan next week and I am consultant led for now on having scans monthly, I will also have a scan at 16 weeks to look at certain organs etc. I can't sleep I'm so worried, I literally don't know what to do with myself. I'm so scared it's going to happen again, we want this baby so badly after so many losses the past 18 months and losing my boy in August has broken me. A hand hold please x

Hi @Halli2020 I’m so sorry for your losses, it sounds like a really tough journey you’ve been on. I don’t have much advice aside from taking it one day at a time. I’m 20 weeks tomorrow after a 4.5 year journey to get here and I don’t think the anxiety will leave until I have a baby in my arms. Try to remember that the odds are very much in your favour now, and it sounds like you’re getting really good care. Meditation and yoga, plus getting fresh air on a walk each day have helped me stay a little bit more sane x
