Pregnant Again! What to do, how to feel!?

I'm really not excited to pregnant again, I just had a baby and she was still born because of an birth defect call anacephaly, I guess I'm trying to figure out how to be excited.

I feel like this now, I had a few miscarriages and it's hard to feel anything at the moment because I'm expecting it again and I think that's my way of trying to protect myself for what could happen.. harder when everyone else is more happy than you are about it. Most important thing is to not worry to much x

I think its normal what you are feeling sort of like a defense mechanism like unconsciously you are trying to not get too attached because of fear of what happened with your previous baby and of the pain it caused you and its ok to feel that way i can just imagine how difficult it was but have faith and everything will go well you will see take your time and you will see how your little bundle will start to fill your heart with excitement and joy once you start to feel their first movements and you hear their little heartbeat for first time :) god bless and best of wishes for you :)

I know what you mean. I've had 3 misscarriages and am now 8 weeks and am not excited at all. I would imagen having a still born would make it even harder to be excited.

That's normal to feel that way. I read an article about rainbow babies it was very sad and pretty. Maybe thinking about it that way could help.

It's ok not to feel excited after what you have gone through. It will come. The farther you get the more excited you will get. Like learning the gender, setting up a nursery, getting all the baby clothes. Yes you will still have doubts and still worry but once that baby comes out and is healthy you will cry, be so thankful, and so happy and excited!!
