Getting pregnant after a miscarriage
It's a weird thing to talk about, getting pregnant after miscarrying a child. It's almost like you're replacing the child you lost, but that's not it at all. When we had our miscarriage people kept telling us that we could just "try again" and all would be good. Little did they know that we were getting tested to find out why we miscarried and why we couldn't seem to get pregnant. Dealing with infertility was without a doubt the hardest thing I've dealt with to date. I could honestly deal with so much, but being told you might never have a child with your husband is devastating and my heart broke into five million pieces at that moment. I get it, we have kids already and a lot of people would argue that we don't need another one. That's not the point, the point is we wanted this and it was really hard for us to do. We were told we could keep trying and trying and this may very well never happen for us. We were just about to give up and turn to fertility treatments when we found out we were expecting. It is super early in my pregnancy, probably earlier than most people tell anyone however I learned something with my miscarriage. It doesn't matter if the whole world knows that you're pregnant, it doesn't matter if only a handful of people know you're still dealing a loss and you still lost a child. If I could redo our last pregnancy, I would tell everyone. Because then when we lost Nolan I would have someone to talk to about everything going on. So this time we're sharing it in hopes that we can have some prayers along the way and we can go through this together, because just being the two of us didn't work last time. I am hoping and praying that this goes better than last time and I hope you guys are ready to be on this journey with us, because this wasn't easy for us at all.
