Pregnant After Two Miscarriages: “The Baby’s Going to Die Again”
Manage episode 490000167 series 3672978
Ever smiled on the outside while quietly falling apart inside?
In this episode, I open up about navigating pregnancy anxiety after two missed miscarriages. I was stuck in a mental loop:
“The baby’s going to die again.”
The grief hadn’t left. The fear hadn’t lifted. And yet, the world just kept moving.
This is an episode about silent suffering — the kind no one sees but you feel in your bones. If you’ve ever struggled with intrusive thoughts, pregnancy after loss, or fear hijacking your mind, this one’s for you.
Welcome back to Reflections & Realizations — where we blend faith, psychology, and personal healing to make sense of the messier moments in life.
🛠️ Realignment Tool #2: The Reframe–Dua–Redirect Method
A simple 3-step strategy to calm anxious thoughts and anchor yourself in the now.
➤ Step 1: Reframe
Catch the intrusive thought. Ask yourself: Is this fear, or is this fact?
Even asking the question starts to loosen its grip.
➤ Step 2: Dua
Turn the fear into a prayer.
Raise your hands. Say what you can’t say out loud.
Let the burden shift from your chest to His.
➤ Step 3: Redirect
Move your energy.
Journal. Do dhikr. Go outside. Call someone.
Interrupt the spiral and return to the moment.
This isn’t about forcing calm — it’s about reclaiming agency in the storm.
Faith isn’t the absence of fear. It’s trusting through it.
