Feeling guilty😔

Sorry if this is long but I just need to put my thoughts down some we're as I keep it bottled up inside for so long.. Sigh...

So as many of you know.. I lost my precious baby girl in July 2017 @24wks from PROM (premature rupture of membrane) at wk23 (a late 2nd trimester stillborn) long story short they sent me home for my baby to die because she wasn't considered "viable" until wk24. Fast forward we finally conceived 7m later after our sad tragedy with this beautiful little rainbow girl! I'm ecstatic over the moon and so in love with her it hurts BUUT... I feel guilty because I can't make myself get close to her.. With my other pregnancies I was already purchasing things buying baby items googling names and was just 100% envolved in the whole pregnancy..but with this one im terrified to even open my conscience to think of names and when at a store with a baby section I try to avoid it at all cost.. When I start thinking about this baby I get butterfly's and try to think of names then I remind myself.. Melissa just stop don't with that right now. I keep pulling myself away because I'm scared (crying as I type this)... The Lord will take this one to so why get close? Please don't think I don't want this baby girl cause I most 1000000% do.. I'm just afraid to get to excited is all. A lot of women wanna just reach 13wks for the safety zone.. But to me I've learned there is no safety zone anymore cause I never ever thought I'd lose and have to bury one of my children after a healthy pregnancy.. But getting past wk24 would make me feel soo much better. Another issue is.. Am I trying to replace my sweet Serenity Joy? That wasn't my intentions AT ALL cause she was my one of a kind little girl...I go back and fourth every single day wondering if Serenity is OK with mommy having another so soon after. I am excited about this pregnancy I'm cherishing every little moment I have I've learned to never ever take a life for granted to always cherish tour pregnancy I just wish I'd known this in 2017 it took losing my daughter for my eyes to open to a whole new light.. I am trying sooo sooo hard to open myself up with this baby girl... I just don't know how right now. I think about this one ALOT then something just says.. Be careful. I feel so guilty for this! I wanna jump in the baby section and just smile at every little girl item! I did try therapy after I lost Serenity but she didn't seem to be interested in what I had to say and she just wasn't any help so that was my first and last experience I needed. I'm hoping this will soon pass but I know closer it gets to wk23 I'm gonna be a hot mess and stressed beyond my limits. Maybe once I'm past wk24 I can finally breath again?.. I've lost a twin and I've had 2 chemical losses and my stillborn.. My baby born sleeping hit me the worse. I just don't have any peace cause I'm constantly worried about this little one. Am I wrong?😢

Bless your heart I just wanna give you a big hug . reading this tore me up in the inside and from everything you been through it’s completely normal feeling the need to keep your happiness and feeling at a distance !! Just pray about it and somehow learn to enjoy this pregnancy little by little . And also talk talk talk talk don’t keep these feeling inside talking about it and getting that boost of encouragement could make things go alil bit smoother until your able to just breathe again . ❤️❤️

Just think of it like this -- think of it as your baby come back to you. It didn't work the first time, there were complications, but now your baby is back and she/he needs you desperately. Your baby loved you before you even knew you were pregnant. You got a second chance. Don't miss out. ❤

God I understand and eventhough I'm not wasn't nearly as far as you when I post my last......I get it. It's just a natural thing to protect your heart now.....self preservation. And it's taken me this entire 15 weeks to get as close to letting my guard down as possible. Yet, genetics are perfect, ultrasounds are normal I still worry every single day about what if. However, I've come to realize that I have to put a small part of that worry in the back of my mind so that my son can feel all the internal love that he should and so that I can enjoy my pregnancy and it not slip past and I'm like damn, i missed out. Easier said than done, but if you have faith in God.....this is just how it works and you have to just trust him.😘

I don’t think anyone blames you for having these feelings. What you went through was a nightmare. I know I’ll never forget it bc I was pregnant at the same time and seeing how quickly a normal pregnancy could take a turn for the worst really opened my eyes too. Even after having a MC myself, it was early and nothing even close to what you went through. I think I looked at that pic of you holding serenity a dozen times, just wishing I could hug and comfort you.

You’re probably going to have these fears throughout your pregnancy but just know I will be here to listen and help remind you it’s in God’s hands. You just have to put faith in him and do whatever you can to keep your mind strong until delivery. 🙏🏻

If you aren’t comfortable diving into the baby section yet, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You’ve got plenty of time. Once you start seeing your Dr every two weeks, then every week, I think your mind will be more at ease because you won’t have to wait so long during check ups.

Keep your head up love! ☺️💖

I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. I can’t understand it truly because I’ve not experienced it! You are very strong. You don’t have to shop or pick out names just wait until you see her breathing and in your arms, I’m sure all the gifts and names will come. I pray God will bless your womb to keep Baby alive and strong until the day she arrives because you got it from there to take care of her HE knows that, I pray he continues to give you strength and also peace❤️, through the name of Jesus we pray!

Don't feel guilty at all about how you are feeling right now. I lost a baby 6 months before I got pregnant with my DD and it took me two years to finally stop crying over it. I think how you're feeling is totally normal and I know that it doesn't mean you don't love her want this baby. It's normal to have fear after going through something so traumatizing and sad, you're scared and that's understandable. Like @_mommy_17 just pray pray pray.
