Pregnant after stillbirth

[DianeRN75]

Has anyone had a baby after having a stillbirth?  I had a miscarriage last Feb and in April this year I lost my daughter at 35weeks and had to give birth. I am now 8 weeks pregnant and petrified it will happen all over again. Wondering how mothers have coped in this situation??

I went to clinic on the monday and said I wasn't feeling right. I felt strange heaviness low down at the front and she wasn't moving as much. Her heartbeat was strong. So they upt my injections as im diabetic and said come back next week but by tues/weds morning she hardly moved. Then on the weds eve I just felt a deep dread...I knew she had died... post mortem showed nothing wrong with her or me. But she was 8lb 2oz big for 35 weeks. But she had measured big all through they just said babies of diabetic mums tented to be larger but theem since then they said size did matter and they should have kept a cliser eye on her. This pregnacy tjey said they will try harder but I don't have alot of faith in the hospital now and each day I worry its gona die.x

With my first, I had a stillbirth in October 2013 due to Trisomy 18 and got pregnant about 6 months later. I was a nervous wreck for most part...but after 4  ultrasounds along with the harmony test and other blood work to confirm everything was fine, I was able to put my mind at ease a little bit...but I knew I would never be fully relieved of my anxiety and worried thoughts til I was holding my baby in my arms. My baby was born healthy in December 2014. Everything you're feeling is perfectly normal. You will probably feel a lot like I did right til the end, and that's ok. Even when the doctor says everything is fine, that worry will always be there. You just have to try to not think about it so much. As long as I was feeling my baby move, I was fine.
