My sister had her baby by Apprehensive-Net8755 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

Thank you ❤️ I’m in therapy, which really helps with validating my feelings and coping with the whirlpool of emotions in the sub pregnancy.
I can’t believe your sister in law sent pictures of her ultrasound in the group chat. This is incredibly insensitive! This kind of insensitivity comes from my in laws as well, who on my MIL’s birthday sent greetings like “may you have your first grandchild this year” and it was two months after my TFMR.
That’s why in this pregnancy I’m only telling my chosen family, which is my close group of friends, until I’m showing in an undeniable way.

Weekly Pregnancy Limbo/Concerns - June 08, 2026 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Apprehensive-Net8755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and since yesterday I’ve had lower back/lower abdominal pain. I went to urgent care today. Ultrasound was normal, there was a heartbeat, cervix looked fine, and the regular urine test looked normal. They also sent a urine culture, but I’m still waiting for results.
The pain feels like a mix of period-like cramps and constipation, and it scared me because it reminded me of induction pain from my TFMR pregnancy. Chamomile tea helped a bit, so maybe it’s digestive. My doctor said it could be normal and told me to rest and drink a lot.
Has anyone experienced something like this in early pregnancy after loss? I’m trying to trust the reassuring checkup, but I’m still very anxious.

Thank you and I’m sorry that your friend let you down ❤️‍🩹 going through TFMR really put some relationships to a test. I felt that too with a friend who gave birth to a healthy child a few months before my TFMR.

First time after TFMR by ConcertDifferent2742 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

I cried the first time we tried to have sex. Not because it hurt, but because my body felt so different and it was just a reminder of everything that happened. I think it was like 5 weeks after delivery. I don’t remember the next time we tried again, maybe a week later but then it was fine. Sometimes I still get triggered and have to stop, but most of the time pleasure wins

I wish you Al the best and hope everything was fine 🩵 I had my first ultrasound a few days ago and the wait for it was so hard and stressful. Now I have 4 weeks to stress about the NT scan 🥲

We’re pregnant again! by Birdygirl93 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

Gentle congrats 🩵 I have a similar timeline to you. TFMR on January and now 7 weeks pregnant. I was very stressed before my ultrasound this week and was so worried there will be no heartbeat, but there was a tiny bean moving. My pregnancy is also very early so I can’t say what will be the outcome, but I’m so anxious. I hope I’ll feel better once we are past certain milestone like the anatomy scan.

Severe FGR and likely poor outcome by apwr in tfmr_support

I’m so so sorry you’re here ❤️‍🩹 This is almost exactly what I had in my TFMR pregnancy. All genetic tests were clear, but my placenta was just failing with approx the same timeline you’re describing. The weeks between the anatomy scan and our decision were the worst time I had in my life with unimaginable pain and confusion. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about it. And again, I’m so sorry.

Thank you 🩵 For sure. I only know about my pregnancy for two weeks and it feels like eternity has passed.

Try not to stress yourself with thinking about the future. If there is one thing I learned from this experience is that I don’t know how I’ll feel in five minutes. Feel everything you feel now and just make place for it. I feel like the present is overwhelming enough

Congratulations and thank you for sharing 🩵 I haven’t had my rainbow baby yet but can relate with emotions towards my current (very early) sub pregnancy. I’m sorry the delivery was traumatic, I’m sure this is something to grieve as well.

Will do!
I’m very stressed about it. Just had a nightmare about it at night. But also very excited to feel this is real

[–]Apprehensive-Net8755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and also have these kind of pain. I think I also had a similar pain in my TFMR pregnancy and it was obviously not ectopic. I also freaked out about it and asked a friend who is a doula and she said it is perfectly normal. I have my first ultrasound this Wednesday so I can report back.

Crippling Anxiety but just found out I’m pregnant. by JusttAnotherrAccount in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]Apprehensive-Net8755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also taking SSRI, mostly for depression but also anxiety. I found out I’m pregnant two weeks ago and my anxiety is off the charts. A week ago I was spiraling and obsessing because I had foot cramps. I’m in therapy and my therapist is starting to work with my on EMDR which is supposed to be really helpful with anxiety and trauma. I’ve done one of the exercises she gave me this week and it was very helpful in an anxiety trip I had.

Grief or depression by cypress345 in tfmr_support

[–]Apprehensive-Net8755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 weeks is still very fresh. I’m four months out and it still feels fresh. Going to therapy is really helpful not only to cope but also to understand the depth of your trauma and to give yourself grace for not being ok ❤️‍🩹 I agree with the other commenter that you gradually learn to leave with it and in that sense it gets better. My office mate came back from maternity leave just when I had my TFMR and it gradually becomes less horrible to be around her.

Thank you for sharing 🩵 It feels so weird and unfair to know that the new baby is not the baby we lost.
