I want my baby back!

I had a termination at 9 weeks in May. It was the right decision at the time, I know it was. I felt absolutely fine afterwards.

But I think now I'm having some kind of delayed reaction. I'm so down at the moment and my mind is all over the place. I keep imagining what stage of the pregnancy I'd be at. I was due New Year's Eve which would've been so special. Every time I see the antenatal threads on here for December/January it hurts.

Would it be terrible to try for another baby?

:(

It would be terrible if you know it's best not to have a baby right now (reason for terminating baby in the first place?)
If you get pregnant again,that baby will not replace the baby you have just lost.
Please know that what you're feeling now will feel less raw in time.

Thanks Sno. I've probably got far too much time to think now the kids are off for summer and I'm out of my routine.

I mainly terminated because I was scared to commit to my new DP and also because I had terrible morning sickness

You thought it through though and you made the right decision for you.
I can really relate to your sadness when seeing threads about babies due in the new year.
I had a termination about 8 years ago now,and for a couple of years,on the due date I would be devistated.
Now I can't remember my due date.I know it was around mid November,but that's it.
Time does heal to an extent.
Take care of yourself.x
