Congratulations!  You are now pregnant and are ready to embark on another journey of bringing forth life.  It can be a very difficult journey of pregnancy if you are not ready to face fear, anxiety, and any other preconceived feelings of pregnancy after loss.

Most women who become pregnant after experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death find themselves hit by a flood of different emotions when they first discover that they’re pregnant again. 

Below are some different emotions you may be feeling throughout your pregnancy and how to deal with them.

Mixed Feelings 

Hesitation and Detachment 

Anxiety concerning the timing of the pregnancy 

Guilt

343 – Bereaved Mother's Day – Honoring our Angels Sisters in Loss Podcast: Miscarriage, Pregnancy Loss, & Infertility Stories

International Bereaved Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday, May 5, 2024.  This day is for us to show our love for our babies gone to heaven far too soon. Sunday, May 12, 2024 in the US we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day can be very challenging, difficult emotionally, and with social distancing and quarantine can and will be very lonely for many Sisters in Loss. Today’s episode is my love letter to you letting you know that You are a Mother! All of the needle pokes, disappointing news, positive and negative pregnancy tests, exciting feelings of baby movement, to holding your baby in your arms after they have taken their last breath made you a mother. Don’t let anyone make you feel different on Mother’s Day. On Sunday, do what you need to do.  Watch church online, make you a bomb brunch with mimosas, cry hard, stay home, and facetime or houseparty with family and friends will make the day better.  Do it all.  Sunday is your Mother’s Day.  You are amazing!  You are brave!  You are beautiful!  You are loved!  You are blessed!  You are a Mom.  Happy Mother’s Day Sister in Loss!
