Need advice

[jessicasutton]

My grandma passed away on October 8th. She was my best friend, told her everything and she usually was the first one I told. I fell into depression and didn't want to do much a month later I found out I am pregnant with my 2nd baby. Going to my doctors appt and having an ultrasound that same day that told me I had conceived on the 7th of October... I can't help but not be excited about this pregnancy because it's a constant reminder of how long my grandma passed away. I need advice or something to help me get through this and become happy about this pregnancy...

My Great Grandmother passed away in September. My Grandmother (her daughter) is also my best friend too so I totally understand how you would be feeling. It hurts me to know that she lost someone so dear to her. I recently found out I am 6 weeks pregnant and am due around the same time as my Great Grandmother's birthday.

Try to think of it as a final gift to you from her. I like to think that everything happens for a reason. Know that she has been looking over your little bundle of joy from DAY ONE! I know how hard it is to be weighed down with sadness over the loss of a lived one... but I'm treating my pregnancy as the new positive everyone in my family is sorely overdue for. We've earned it!

You will be okay just think they wouldn't want you to be sad especially when your pregnant.

My father passed 2 months after I told him I was pregnant and on top of that he was the first one I told. He also was the one that was there for me when I lost my first baby from ts. I got pregnant again only a month after losing my first daughter because I wanted my father to see my first child. And you know what he still will even tho they passed they are watching us. They will be there for all the events both of my parents have already died but they aren't gone they are watching me. It's hard but they don't want us sad they want us to be happy and go on with our lives. They are with us

I am Native American and I was always told by my grandmother that someone would exit in order to allow a new baby to enter the world. My child was born on Jan 9 but her due date was Jan 28. My grandmother passed away on her due date. It has been hard especially knowing my youngest will be 3 soon because I too am reminded of my grandma's passing. Then I look at my child and remember what my grandmother used to tell me about our beliefs and our circle of life. I was blessed to have had my grandmother for 29 years of my life and I know I am further blessed to have been able to bring a part of my grandmother into the future with us as we are all part of one another. We never truly lose someone, we take a piece of them and carry it forward and that is with our children.

I was told someone we love leaves to let a new one enter. I had a beautiful husky dog and he passed a week before i gave birth. It sucked because he was like my other child but remember god never does something without a plan. Its hard but instead of remember your grandmas passing try to remember the wonderful memories and turn this pregnancy into a positive. I will be praying for you

I had issues with my first pregnancy I got pregnant in March 7 years after my grandfather had passed away when I discovered my due date to be his birthday I knew it was a sign of him watching out and sending me a new way to remember his birthday....my daughter was born exactly 90 years after her great grandfather

Well I would look at it as god replacing the loved one with a new loved one and it could always be worse last April two weeks before my wedding my baby passed away and then to top it off my sister took her own life June 5 th so yeah it is a blessing appreciate what you have I understand that loss as my sister dwindled away for three years slowly after my grandma died they were also best friends secretly it killed me but im finally pregnant again going to see if this baby is still with us today I'll pray your heart heals but love that baby as if it were going to be gone bc you never know

I have to agree with all the other posts. Sometimes when one door closes another one opens. I know it sounds cheesey but my husband and i have tried for 4 years to conceive and after so long we really gave up hope. We took a trip to Scotland to visit my Husbands mother and he also took a hike up a mountain, the same one he scattered his Dad's ashes on. My  husband told me that day that he asked his Dad to watch over us and that one day he would make him a Grandfather. According to my dates, we conceived on or around that day.
Everything happens for a reason, perhaps your Grandmother passed away so that your little one has someone keeping watch over them

8 years ago my aunt passed... a month after she passed i found out i was pregnant with my son....

5 years later my grandmother got really sick... the day they told her she has a couple of years at most left found out i was pregnant with my daughter ...

On june 9th 2015 my grandmother passed and i found out i concieved the day she died with my current pregnancy which is also a girl.

There is a plan for everything. I believe that my aunt is apart of my son... he acts like her... my daughter looks like my grandmother... she was also the last great grand child to be born out of 32 before she died. Now i get to see what this one takes from my grandmother.

I agree with what she said it's very true my cousin died in may and my family has a saying someone we love has to leave this world so a new member of the family can come into it well I believe he died to give me a chance to be a mom didn't think I could conceive but found out in November I was pregnant so I like to say that he's my guardian angel watching over me helping me achieve my dreams hope this helps and remember she's always with u no matter where u are she's always there watching over u

Not to sound very cheesy and although I'm not very religious, perhaps God saw and knew you loved and cherished your grandma so much that even though he had to call her back he decided to give you a new little angel so you'd still have someone to have near and dear to you always.
