Q: Preggers Again!!!!

Hmmmph

well I found out about 2 weeks ago that im pregnant again, and i'm still trying to come to grips with the whole thing.
Its only been 8 months since I lost my twin girls and i'm finding it hard to get excited because i'm worried something bad will happen again, also the fact that i've only been with my new boyfriend for 4 months doesn't help matters either!

I'm so damn tired and moody and I wasn't like this with the twins. :(

I'm sure it's completely normal for you to feel that way. Just remember that every pregnancy is different, and this could be the perfect pregnancy for you! Try to be calm and think about the good things to come. Good luck!!

Okay, not trying to be all mean and i'm sorry for you're loss, but why would you not use protection with someone whom you've only been with for 4 months?

I don't get why girls loose babies but don't even try to prevent another pregnancy.

The last thing i'd want is another baby after just loosing one, two in you're situation.

Congrats =)

this wasn't directed at me, but i'm going to put in my 2 cents. And this is just my opinion...

I think that a miscarriage is different than actually giving birth and losing the baby or losing the baby late in pregnancy (more towards the end). I had my miscarriage at 13 weeks (i believe the original poster had hers at 19), I felt so ripped off. I couldn't wait to get pregnant again. Not to "replace" the baby I lost, but because being pregnant made me realize how badly I wanted a baby and I just felt robbed after the miscarriage. I don't know, i'm not very good at explaining it. If I had lost my child after it had been born, I don't think i'd be rushing off trying to get pregnant again.

I don't think it makes any difference, it's still a baby..

It's not like having you're dog get hit by a car and being like "i want another dog!"

it's a human, which has a beating heart. How could you feel differently towards loosing it just because of it being inside your belly or outside?

That's pretty messed up in my opinion.

Well dalicia, you can think it's messed up all you want but since you've never had a miscarriage or lost a child you have no idea what it's like.

Lost Twins At 15 Weeks.
Hey, I lost twin girls too, just over a month ago - what is it with twins- seriously, nature is cruel to them.
I also lost my uterus in the process, so I won't be having anymore of my own. It would have been the last baby for us anyway (we were not expecting twins though) I have a boy and a girl of my own, and a nearly 6 month old sweetheart who we are in the process of adopting (already lives with us).

I perused the miscarriage forum afterwards, and found the whole, frantic, "must get pregnant again immediately, how soon can I try again" mentality a bit much. Even if I could at some stage have another baby, (fatfamily i'm looking at you !!) I would be a bit hesitant and uncertain about it for a good while. Then, if I did get pregnant, I would be nervous, and afraid, and worried all the time and that would probably make me very moody too.
I mean everyone worries about miscarriage, but until you've seen your own baby(s) coming out of your body, (after about 12 weeks, it's a fully formed baby, i'm not talking cramps and bleeding here, i'm talking actually giving birth) too early to live, or dead already, then you have no conception of just how it affects you.
It would be terrifying to be pregnant again, even if it was planned. Once it actually happened, the fear and dread of would kick in. That's how I feel anyway.


Good luck to you, and your boyfriend, for your baby, and your future.

fine, i'm a f*ck nut and you're implying you've been pregnant at least 3 times in your 17 years on this earth. Nice.

I'm not getting into this with you. I'm too old to resort to the name calling and swearing you seem to favor. I know you think you're bad and intimidating but you are just extremely childish.

I'm sharing my opinion =)

deal with it.

I'm not saying i've been pregnant 3 times..But simply stating you don't know me, or what i'm about so don't give me comments like you've lived my life.

You can think whatcha want about me, I love opinions, just as much as I love little skanks like yourself.

Kisses.
