I haven't been on here in a couple of months. I went into preterm labor at 20 weeks with my son Nolan. It will be a year December 20th. Even after almost 11 months I am still afraid to get pregnant. I want a baby so much but I am afraid to open the wounds again. I went through depression after I lost him. I don't want to go through that again. What should I do?

do what you feel is right. If you feel ready you probably are, if you dont feel ready yet, your probably not. I cant say I understand what you are going through, but I can tell you Ive had 2 miscarriages..1 at 5wks and the other at 7.3 wks and the anniversary is coming up of our first angel on december 2nd, when I got pregnant 10 months after our first angel we were thrilled, but we shared the same feelings you did, Its normal to think like that. In our own experience the second angel helped us deal with the first angel, although we just lost a couple of weeks after we found out(i think its my hormone levels...mainly profesterone). Anyways, I just wanted to tell you my experience and I hope it can help you decide. Im so sorry about your loss.

After I lost my baby, I couldn't even imagine getting pregnant again so I started birth control for a while. But then I decided that God couldn't give me anything I couldn't handle. So I stopped bc. Now I'm trying and its not working... maybe God knows I'm not ready... I don't know if you are a religious person or not, but maybe you should pray about it. If you feel at peace either way, then thats the way you should go.

hi, i had a stillborn baby boy in 2001 i still have no other babies, we r too scared and to be honest since our son died life will never be the same. i guess everyone is different, i think its a case of falling pregnant then it all should fit into place.

I too lost my angel at 19 weeks and 4 days. We just got the greenlight in mid Sept to start trying again. Although I have been tracking my periods, we prob won't start trying until Dec. i think I will be ready then, I certionally want to get pg again but am an emotional wreck thinking about it. Almost all the best things in life come with risks. Only you and your hubby can decide. I wish you all the best in your decision and know that I am here for you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
