For those who have had a pregnancy after loss how did you handle answering the questions. I’m currently pregnant with my 7th after losing our son in the NICU last year. It seems like every appointment, lab, or ultrasound I have they always ask “how many living children do you have” I never know how to answer so I say “I have 5 living but all 6 were born alive” or they ask “how many pregnancies have you had” when I say “6” they follow with “how many are living” I say “5” and then they ask “was one a miscarriage or abortion” “neither. He was passed away after birth” I feel like all this should be in my chart but every single appointment I’m asked and it’s so hard because then it changes the mood and I go from being happy/content to being reminded I’m missing my baby and depressed. It makes me not even want to go to appointments at this point but I know I have to.
