Pregnancy After Loss
You are pregnant again, but the excitement isn’t there. You feel anxiety before your OB appointments and try to make sure you are prepped enough to ask all the questions you need to. More stress keeps coming up. The thought of announcing your pregnancy and each new pregnancy symptom brings anxiety. You can’t help but wonder what will happen if you lose this baby too. No one seems to understand. It hurts to hear your family and friends encouraging you to forget about your loss and move on. You want the best for this baby, but you keep thinking about the things you did or didn’t do during your last pregnancy. You wonder if you will be “enough” to bring home and care for a healthy baby. You feel helpless and isolated. You wonder if you can trust yourself, your pregnancy care provider and your body to protect this baby after what happened last time. You are anxious, frustrated and on edge...when do you get to be happy about your pregnancy?
Parenting After Loss
You love your “Rainbow” baby. But you weren't prepared for how exhausted, and anxious you feel. After experiencing the loss of your last baby, you just knew that once you had a baby to hold in your arms everything would be perfect. But every time your child sleeps, gets hurt of gets sick, you feel so worried you can barely think straight. You and your partner can’t see eye to eye on how to care for and discipline your toddler. Your family is constantly pushing you to parent the way they feel you should because “You turned out fine without trying all these new modern parenting techniques.” You feel worried and stressed. When do you get to enjoy parenthood?
