In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s often on the minds of those of us navigating pregnancy after loss—the “what ifs.” Specifically, what if something goes wrong? And what if my baby dies? It’s a fear that can feel all-consuming, and while I’d love to tell you to just focus on the positive, we both know it’s not always that simple.
We’ll talk about the reality of these fears, how to prepare for them in a healthy way, and why it’s okay to acknowledge them without letting them take over your joy and excitement. I’ll share some practical tips on how to flip those negative thoughts, create a plan, and focus on what you can control. This episode is all about finding peace and resilience, even when the fear is real.
