Strange

Today I was standing in the kitchen washing the dishes and I just felt ready. Ready to try again. I mean I haven't even buried Gabriel yet but I feel like I'm ready. I know in my heart that Gabriel is happy and well taken care of. I still miss him like crazy, but I just feel like I am ready for a family. Is that bad? I mean Gabriel died in May and now I feel ready again?? Ddon't get me wrong it's not like the pain is gone or that I think I can replace him. He was and will always be my first baby, I've been through hell and back because of the complications I had with him and yet I feel like I'm ready to try it again. It's strange, how did you know you were ready? And when did you start trying again?

When I had my miscarraige I felt the same way. I just wanted a family so bad. My life felt ripped apart and I felt like a little angel would pull it together and, I don't know I guess make me feel like I wasn't such a failure. I took it really hard. With whatever you decide to do I wish you the best of luck and I'm SO sorry for your loss honey. Good luck!!!

I didn't think I was ready to have another baby. I lost a baby boy (Julius) last year June 13 and right after everything happen I didn't try to have another baby. I didn't even want to have sex. But in Nov I decided to get on birthcontrol and waite awhile. I got really sick around christmas and the doctor gave me antibiotics and told me to use condoms while im on them. I didn't have got pregnat. It's not a bad thing to want to try again. If you feel like your ready then just go for it.

I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie. Similar thing happened to me..I lost in July of last year and conceived in August, and now I have my sweet bundle of joy. Good luck, I hope you get the family you are wanting soon!

Quoting OctoberMommyToBe:“ I didn'tand now im pregnat.

Opps!

I am so sorry for your loss. I think part of the reason you feel ready is you have such a positive outlook, even through a very heartbreaking experience. You know your angel is in a better place, which would help me through the grieving process. If you feel ready, go for it. I can tell you will be an amazing mother!

I didn't want to wait to try again after the inital 2-3 months my doc recommended. I was READY. I mean, AJ and I had been ready for months when I got pregnant the first time. We were ready to make our family whole and to have that tiny one to love and take care of and to make the wonderful bond we have even stronger as we watched first my belly, then the baby grow. I were ready and being pregnant was a magical and wonderful experience for me. When I lost the baby it didnt make me any less ready to be a mother to a child, it just meant that I was no longer beginning that journey. It completely changed the way I perceived motherhood. I was launched full-throttle into it and lost my baby. Like I've said before, I was a mother without a baby then. After the initial healing process I began to be able to separate my grief for losing my baby from my need to have a baby. I still had that same drive and want and that yearning. That feeling that a part of me was missing. Every time I looked at my husband I saw him hurting, but I also saw what a great father he would be and that we were both ready to nurture something and to have a baby of our own. When I could separate the two feelings, I knew that I was ready to try. I did not want to make the mistake of replacing one with the other. As soon as I was sure that wasnt what it was, I was in hyper drive with wantinga baby (the same as I was in January before we ever got pregnant the first time). Now if only the damn doctor would let me start trying again!!!!

PS-Love you! I'll call you soon!
