Below are some coping tips that worked for me on how to Handle the Anxiety, Fear and Stress that comes with Pregnancy After Loss.
Focus on one day at a time. Easier said than done, right? But I always keep my favorite verse with me that “All things work together for the good of those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 If God has called you to be a mother especially for you to have another child it will happen, it is his purpose for your life. I learned to take my pregnancy one day at a time because I celebrated what was good, different, and better about my new pregnancy. I paid attention to what’s going well each day and how I was feeling and how the baby was moving and healthy. Remember each pregnancy is different, and the fact that you miscarried, had an infant loss or stillbirth does not mean this pregnancy will end that way.
Don’t always expect to be happy and joyful all the time – We all have good and bad days when we are not pregnant so don’t expect it to be joyful and happy all the time. Remind yourself that being pregnant again can be a scary experience.
