Pregnancy After Loss: Holding Hope and Fear at the Same Time
Pregnancy after loss isn’t always picture-perfect joy. Sometimes it’s quiet fear, daily symptom checks, and holding your breath between appointments. If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be grateful but instead feel overwhelmed, you’re not alone. In this post, I share my own journey through a pregnancy marked by bleeding, anxiety, and the complicated task of holding both hope and grief in the same body. You deserve space for all your feelings — and a few distractions along the way. 💛
Infertility: Missing Out While Holding It All In
Infertility doesn’t just impact your body — it quietly rewrites your social life, your calendar, and sometimes, your sense of self. You miss the baby showers, the dinner parties, the simple moments that used to feel effortless. Not because you want to, but because sometimes, showing up while silently grieving feels impossible. This blog is for the ones who feel like they’ve vanished in the waiting. If that’s you, you’re not alone — and you still matter, even in the missing.
Postpartum: Grateful, But Also Struggling
You spend years trying to get pregnant, then months growing a baby — and just when you think the hard part is over, postpartum hits. And it’s not all cuddles and newborn bliss. It’s exhaustion. It’s identity loss. It’s staring in the mirror wondering where you went.
After four years of infertility, I thought postpartum would feel like a reward. Instead, I found myself overwhelmed, anxious, and desperate to feel like a person again. So I started doing tiny things — painting my nails, taking quiet baths, reclaiming bits of myself in the chaos.
Postpartum is messy and raw and beautiful and hard. But you’re not alone in it. And you’re allowed to take up space in your own story — even now.
