If you're pregnant after loss, you already know this isn't the "fresh start" everyone imagines.
It's a quiet kind of trembling. A hope you hold with two hands because you remember what it felt like to lose it.
This toolkit isn't going to tell you to "stay positive." I would never do that to you.
Instead, it offers something softer: a way to stay anchored when the fear rises, a way to be gentle with yourself when your body remembers more than you want it to, and a way to keep showing up, even if some days all you can manage is breathing through the next minute.
You don't have to do this perfectly. You don't even have to do it calmly.
You just get to do it honestly, in whatever way makes sense for you.
Inside this guide, you'll find:
Daily Worry Time worksheets
That give your anxiety a place to land—so it doesn't have to follow you everywhere
Grounding practices for panic moments
including the 5 Senses Technique, Dropping Anchor, and breathing patterns that actually help when your body is in fight-or-flight
Appointment prep sheets and provider scripts
So you never have to freeze in the exam room again, unsure of what to say or how to ask for what you need
Emergency tools for 3 AM spirals
and the moments when fear arrives without warning—scripts you can read out loud when you need steady hands
