Finding out you’re pregnant after a miscarriage is a whiplash of emotions; excited, scared, grateful, anxious, happy, and unsure to name a handful. It’s like you’re on a carnival ride you can’t get off.
This new level of emotional awareness causes you to make some questionable choices in the name of sparing yourself another heartbreak.
I know because I’ve been there… twice.
Growing up it seemed that getting pregnant was as easy as breathing. It was imbedded in us that one unprotected moment would result in your life changing forever. Which, of course, was posed as a threat more so than cautionary possibility.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that it actually takes five and a half years, two miscarriages, and one round of Clomid to conceive.
