Hello, I was offered some counselling CBT during my next pregnancy (I’m 36 weeks now) and at first I was not convinced it would make any difference but as I did not want medication either, I thought I would give it ago. It really has made a big difference so I’m glad I did try. I won’t lie, I have still been really anxious this time round, but the counselling has helped me learn how to put things into perspective, process what happened and how to reason with myself when my thoughts are spiralling. I’ve deleted TikTok and do everything in my power to avoid watching sad stories/videos as I found they just consumed me and it was all I could focus on. I obviously can’t say what the bonding will be like as my baby is not here yet, but right now i just feel grateful for everyday that everything is okay. It won’t be easy but take up the offer of support if u can and take one day at a time. 🩷
We pulled the plug on our girl the day she turned 4 months. 2 weeks before her first birthday, we found out I was pregnant again. I was scared poopless I wouldn't bond with him the same as my first two. He's 4.5 months old now, and I have a stronger bond with him than i did his older brother and sister. He's more "special" if that makes sense. Our daughter was our first together, and she lived her whole life in the nicu/cicu. He's the first one we have gotten to raise from the start together. Was definitely more depressed, scared, and anxious my pregnancy with him, but it was all so worth it. If you need, you're more than welcome to pm me momma💜
