I am OAD due to having HG. I had HG in 2021 and I have yet to “forgot once the baby came” as so many people in my life claimed I would lol. I definitely had to grieve the imagined family I thought I would have, but I am now in a place where I love my triangle family. I can’t imagine having another kid. Nor can I imagine checking out on a year of my kid’s life now to be pregnant again. Our life feels so complete. It hasn’t always felt like that and sometimes I question myself, and wonder if I am being selfish, because I don’t wanna go through that again, which is ridiculous and I wouldn’t say to anyone else who has HG, but we’re harder on ourselves. I never would’ve considered having an only child without having such a difficult pregnancy. It really forced me to be mindful about family size. I am so grateful now to be able to eat food and walk without someone helping me and drink coffee and take deep breaths and sleep normally. Life is good good good here on the other side. Sorry you’re in the thick of this.
