A Really Tough Day

[Naleana]

Exactly 1 year ago today I gave birth to my first son, James. I was only 20 weeks pregnant, and he only lived a few minunets. Through out this pregnancy I've been terrified that it would happen again. I'm currently 28 weeks and 5 days. I could go into labor at any time at least now if he is born now he has a good chance to live and be healthy. I still miss James and I know I always will.

Its awesome you're having another baby so soon, its such a blessing.  You will always love James and tell stories about him.  Stories about how old he would be and what his hobbies would be.  Maybe celebrate James birthday with a cupcake or something special.

Thanks for the support. I feel much better today.

Also James is a lovely name and you will never forget him because he was your child. Don't feel like you're betraying James by bonding and enjoying this pregnancy. I struggled with that too. Again allow yourself to find joy in this pregnancy but know someone else out there completely gets your pain. Hugs dear.

Those who have never experienced infant loss will never understand that us who did will worry probably until we take our baby safely home. My first pregnancy and daughter resulted in my daughter being born at 21 weeks. She lived for a little while as well. Now this pregnancy I am 30 weeks and I know I will not be ok until I'm leaving the hospital with this daughter in my arms. Try to enjoy this pregnancy the best you can but I completely related to the feelings of constant worry because of your traumatic experience before with your previous pregnancy. Hugs dear and let's pray for better outcomes this time.
