This daily thread is for all members who are pregnant after a previous pregnancy or infant loss. How are you?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most milestones should go here, along with regular updates. Stand alone posts are Mod approved only and have set requirements.

I thought Christmas would be “easier” for me this year (hopeful/sense of calm) but I actually felt way more stressed, anxious, and not present. Every time I used the restroom I was checking for blood. Every time I tried to visualize next Christmas my inner voice was like “ha ya right”. I just want to feel optimistic and at peace…. Ugh.
