If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently, it becomes special because you have made it so.

Pregnancy After Loss


I'm not going to lie and say I haven't been the slightest bit paranoid this pregnancy, because I'm pretty sure that is inevitable! Maybe not the right decision but I have cut out all my workouts, Ive been laying only on my side since 5 weeks, I stay a safe distance away from my kids kicking feet, I'm afraid to squeeze into my jeans, so I just completely don't button them... or wear a mu mu. I also have taken NO nausea medications this time around. So safe to say I'm paranoid and sick. Being sick.... it stinks, but when I'm not... I pray to be, just to know there is still a baby in there! Now that I'm close to the week I lost our little boy last November, I lay awake at night, waiting to feel those first flutters. THEY'VE COME, and I can sleep! I think my heavenly fathers knows exactly what we need all the time. I'm writing this, for myself but also for a few friends of mine. The lord knows us. Its scary trying again, but nothing feels better than feeling and seeing that little spirit inside of you. The lord will take care of us, and give us the reassurances that we need, even if it come just as a little flutter.
I am doing well, and am thankful everyday for this blessing in my life. Here's to 16 weeks!

I love you Brit! So glad you are feeling at peace. I felt the same way with this pregnancy just knowing what you went through. So, I can't imagine how you feel. You are always so strong!

Brittney! This is Jill Shepard from Bass Lake Ward years back. We are sending you love and prayers.

I'm so glad you can feel your little one already. That was the greatest comfort for me all through pregnancy with our daughter (our son was stillborn at 30 weeks).

Every time I needed extra reassurance that she was alright I would pray that she would move, and almost every time she would. Those other 2 times I went to the OB and got a heartbeat check. :) I think these babies know that we need a little bit of extra care. Heavenly Father knows too, and He will help.

Bless you and your family, I hope you guys are doing well and good luck with that morning sickness!
love,
Jill Tobler

I've miscarried on my first pregnancy and now that I'm 15 almost 16 weeks on my 3rd pregnancy the fear never goes away, you are always nervous, always thankful for sickness and always grateful for the flutters. I know exactly what' you're talking about!
