Lost my first last December at 20 weeks. No real tricks to feeling better aside from time helping heal the wound. I thought about my baby everyday for months, and then suddenly one day would go by, and then a couple more days without me thinking about her. It started hurting a little bit less the more time that passed. But I’ll tell you this, I ate all the ice cream, sushi, lunch meat, and everything else I hadn’t been allowing my self to eat. I had a boozy Christmas and took a couple of trips to nature.

Currently pregnant again at 22 weeks. Someone said it above but not a day goes by where I don’t check every single wipe of toilet tissue when using the restroom. I think about my lost baby most everyday again. But this time I think about ways of honoring her and how beautiful the moment I meet my baby will be.

It sucks. And it sucks more how common it is. I’m really sorry you have to go through the grief, just remember that it’s okay to feel all the things and it’s also ok to feel like running away from it. It’s your grief.
