In this post, I explore the unique challenges that come with PAL, from the shifting beliefs about pregnancy and parenthood to the emotional toll of navigating antenatal appointments that once brought joy but now carry the weight of past trauma.

Pregnancy after loss can feel like an emotional minefield, where every day brings unpredictable highs and lows. The fear, grief, and anxiety can be overwhelming, making it difficult to stay hopeful. Yet, finding stability amidst this storm is possible.
