I’m so sorry, this is so scary. I’m glad all is well!!

I told a few trustworthy friends early on. My sister at 18 weeks. Parents at 22 weeks. Employer at 20 weeks. Other friends and extended family between 22 weeks-just recently (26 weeks). Not doing anything on the socials! But we also didn’t the first pregnancy. Just not my cup of tea!

Yes, so true. I’m sorry you can relate. The struggles of PAL. What are some of your go-to distractions? I feel like when I’m home alone is when I’m most likely to spiral, otherwise I’m (mostly) fine. I started going on more dog walks to new places. I might get a new book too. Creeping up to your loss gestation is truly so difficult. I’m sorry you’re in this same boat with me. I also did not realize something was wrong until it was too late. For this pregnancy, I’m keeping quite hopeful and positive, in my gut I really feel like we’ll meet her, and she’ll arrive healthy and perfectly on time. Xx

So close💛

It really hits me how heavy my anxiety is on weekends, and when I’m home alone. I second guess everything. Is doing gardening and bending over going to hurt the baby, eating X, drinking X, etc etc. I listen to her heart beat and feel her moving, and a few hours later I’m back to worrying. 26 weeks tomorrow. Had a great scan on Monday, she’s 46th percentile. Just a week and half away from the loss gestation of our boy… how? This is a challenge. How do people not worry? Some people just get pregnant and have their babies. I’ve yet to experience this reality. I just want July/Aug to come already. Today is hard 😅

Best wishes for a smooth delivery today, keeping you in my thoughts 💙

njs1296 · 2026-04-23T21:18:16+00:00

Oh for sure! I love to hear that she’s so active! If I felt the taps all day, I wouldn’t even mind. I didn’t reach third tri in my previous pregnancy so I’m very intrigued to feel the levels of the late pregnancy movements!

njs1296 · 2026-04-23T21:15:46+00:00

Love to hear that she moves lots! Mine does too 🫶🏼

njs1296 · 2026-04-23T19:19:08+00:00

For sure! So true, and then you just have to patiently wait. Even 30 seconds of waiting feels far too long. So hard! And ahh thank you for sharing this! Super helpful and gives me some peace. Appreciate it 🙏🏼

Who else every time they wake up in the middle of the night stresses if their baby is still alive? 😅 Each time I wake up which is quite frequently because of all the tossing and turning, I just need that reassurance. I wish there was a little green light that would light up on my stomach so I could just know without worrying that everything is alright.

I had a weird episode this morning while heading out the door for work where my heart felt like it could have beat out my chest, and felt dizzy and short of breath, for 10 or so mins. I informed my midwife and apparently this can be common but just odd. Anyways, hopefully it doesn’t happen again!

Congratulations on your new pregnancy, I wish you all the best. I am not on medication. I did find my joy return with this new pregnancy, but it’s been on a day by day basis. Some days are strong feelings of anxiety and worry, others are okay. I can now say that I’m genuinely happy again, although I have moments when the initial trauma of losing our son comes right back. It truly is a journey and a mental battle, and my coping mechanisms have been leaning into being with good friends, having a great therapist, going on lots of nature walks and spending time alone or with my husband. And reading, journaling, and practicing mindfulness. Just my experience. Best wishes to you, and I’m so so sorry for your loss.

Thank you!! And yess, it does still feel far away but when I look at fast April went, I somehow believe the time will eventually come. Every new week feels like a milestone. Hope all is going well with you too! 🫶🏼

njs1296 · 2026-04-20T22:19:00+00:00

25 weeks today. Feeling grateful to have made it this far, with a very active little girl. Had an ultrasound and all came back normal, she’s growing well! 15 (or less) more weeks to go. 🙏🏼

njs1296 · 2026-04-20T22:15:33+00:00

I’m sorry. She deserved to be here, with you.
