I got a bfp yesterday, 5 cycles after my missed miscarriage at 8 weeks (discovered at 10 week ob appt) I just feel different to the last two times I was here...I'm not really as excited as before either. Is this normal? I got a really strong bfp, heaps stronger than with my last two pregnancies so I'm not as concerned on that score, I just feel...like I'm not pregnant I have sore boobs and a desire for orange and passionfruit fruit drink so I know I'm utd, it's just strange? I feel so distant from it all...
Firstly congrats beautiful lady xoxo .... I am so sorry for the loss of your JellyBean.... I remember after my ectopic I felt similar to you, but I promise you will feel different just takes time after a loss.... after I knew that DS was in the right spot and after 3 u/s I connected with the pregnancy .... be gentle to yourself hun and wish you a smooth and uneventful pregnancy and beyond xoxo
Oh chicky I am so excited for you!!!!
I think after a loss it is never going to be shiny bouncy excitement for any of us. Its a quiet excitement and a sense of disbelief, I can imagine. Hope you get an opportunity to relax and enjoy it, but ultimately I hope you spend the next 8 months or so growing yourself a lovely healthy baby x
congratulations!
you are not alone, i think most people who have experianced this has the same feelings.. i know i have/still do..
all you can do is try to think positive, and not freak out too much.. it gets better!
And I was completely the same so I'd say it's very normal to not want to get attached after a loss, it look me til 20 ish weeks to feel 'close' to DS whilst UTD and now I'm 5 weeks and once again feel the same, I have to keep reminding myself that I'm pg, that's how interested in this pregnancy I am lol I no it will get better as time goes on but I it's my head and hearts way of not getting attached. I hope all goes well and you have a h&h 9 months xx
Thanks girls. I guess pregnancy post mc is a whole new experience my DH is also not helping, he is not at all excited, but to him it's not a baby until it's born so he was no support during my mc either.
I think it's different too because I'm not shouting it from the rooftop. I have told my mum and that's it. I'm sure some of my friends will know soon but I would usually have texted them all a photo of my pregnancy test by now. It's not even like I'm scared of a miscarriage, hopefully being on a gluten free diet will avoid the problem from last time and this bubba will be an awesome christmas present
Thanks so much, BellyBelly has been such a saviour over the last 6 months and whilst I'm a fairly unknown/low profile member I still feel part of it all iykwim? You ladies have made me feel really .... like I belong, your excitement for my bfp is amazing
I have to say I am always extremely cautious announcing until the 12 week mark since my m/c's. It is difficult for me to feel a connection in the fear of losing the bub.
I hope this one is a sticky one and you have a great pg & birth. All the best
It doesn't feel real?
I have sore boobs and a desire for orange and passionfruit fruit drink
so I know I'm utd, it's just strange? I feel so distant from it all...
