Oh, the obsessive pregnancy feelings... I remember those well.

Before I delivered Molly and Joseph, but knew they were going to die, I didn't think I would have anymore babies. I told me husband that these would be my last babies. But I wasn't home a week before I started reading everything I could about subsequent pregnancies, and began thinking constantly about "trying again."

People outside our experience would read that as a desire to replace, or some sort of maternal "do over." But it never felt that way for me. I knew another baby wouldn't change my loss, or my grief. I just knew I wanted another child, and I was willing to risk another devastating heartbreak to pursue that miracle.

I completely agree with Lori. It felt pretty much the same to me, too. And since I think that we will eventually end up trying for another pregnancy with a happy ending, I still think about pregnancy. If/when we start to try again, I know I will get right back to that obsessive place.

I so know how your feeling. I was back booked in for a IVF cycle as soon as my C section scare was given the 'all good'.

These feelings are really very normal.
