It doesn’t matter when you lost your baby, the last few weeks of pregnancy after loss are extremely difficult. Aside from the normal gripes from the last month of pregnancy, the anxiety rises once again. In our local pregnancy after loss (PAL) support group, we’ve seen it time and again. You pass the gestational age where you lost your baby, you feel some relief. You can feel joy and feel like this is really going to happen this time. Pregnancy doesn’t always end in tragedy. But the closer you get to labor and delivery, the closer you get to the desired 40 weeks, the harder it gets again. Anxiety and fear can, and often do, rear their ugly heads again, and make those last four weeks seem like a lifetime.
