1 year today!

crazylee53 - 04:20am Dec 28, 2009 EST

I gave birth to and lost my twin girls at 23 weeks one year ago today. Needless to say the holidays were a little rough. It was exactly 6:00 AM 1 year ago and I dont know how to feel right now. I am just waiting for it to hit me which is making me really anxious. I am lucky enough to be pregnant again and I have made it to 30 weeks today . My sister in law is also pregnant with twins and I cant help but kepp thiniking about how jealous I am. (but that's a whole other story.) I have such mixed feelings at the moment and I am trying to stay relaxed for this baby girl. Any advice on how to stay relaxed and deal with my anxiousness?

I am sorry about the loss of your girls but so happy to hear you are 30 weeks right now! That is fabulous.

I wish I knew how to deal with the anxiousness that comes along with a pregnancy after a loss - I am sure if there was a "magic potion" we could bottle it and make a fortune! I haven't been through a loss, just a very premature birth followed by a full term baby (thank goodness!). The only thing that kept me sane? A supportive husband and Share. The women here really helped me out. I assume you have already seen the "pregnant and fabulous?" discussion but if not, I recommend you go there and find other women in your same shoes. They helped hold my hand when I needed it and I am not sure how I would have gotten through that 2nd pregnancy without them.

good Luck,
Jackie

I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with the holidays without your whole family there. I know how that feels too.

I'm sure that your feelings are all over the place without the additional stress of watching your SIL go through a twin pregnancy. I hope that this pregnancy for you goes great and congratulations on 30 weeks!! Vent here any time.....LOL!
