Excited and Scared and Pregnant

[JenneinAZ]

Actually I think terrified is more accurate, but...

I don't know if anyone remembers but I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks (a little person we had nicknamed Sprog in May 2006) and then another miscarriage at 19 weeks (a little person we called Mouse in January 2007). They were devastating losses. We took some time to regroup and recover and actively didn't get pregnant.

My OB ran every test he could think of. All of them came back normal. There was no explanation. No reason. He talked to the high risk OB about me. He did everything he could.

With the knowledge that the OB said there was no reason for the miscarriages and his assurances that there was no reason he could find not to try again, we decided to try one last time. And it worked. I am pregnant. But I am really really really scared. Losing Sprog and Mouse was awful. I don't want to go through that again. But I want to have a new little person enough that I am willing to try again.

I have my first OB appointment on February 18. He is going to do an early ultrasound and confirm that everything looks good and then send me to a high risk OB for a consultation and care for the rest of the pregnancy if I want. My OB is willing to care for me too, it just depends on what the high risk OB says.

So anyway, my due date is September 29. And I could use every positive thought and good vibes you might send this way.

Having been through pregnancy with my dw before I realize just how scary and how many little things can go wrong. It gives a full appreciation and a miscarriage would have been so devastating, let alone two.

I can understand how intimidating it must be, but we're all rooting for you. I gie you my best regards.

[JenneinAZ]

Thanks for the hugs and prayers and everything else.

I will update after the 18th.

And congratulations, Jenne!

[Rhonda@LivingWater]

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It IS hard to experience a new pregnancy after such devastating losses. I have been down a similar road and it is so wonderful to be pregnant and yet the worry is there. Keep us informed. God bless you!

[Amy in Orlando]

Good thoughts and vibes here! Congratulations.

[HomeOnTheRanch]

Congratulations! You'll be in my prayers.

[EKS]

Congratulations!

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[JennifersLost]

good thoughts your way. I've lost a child for every child I have and I know how hard this is and how scary to try again. But this is so much more common than we realize.

I'm sure this time all will be well!

[Karin]

Yes, I do remember you! And I'm praying for you. My mother had 2 miscarriages, and the brother who was born afterward is now fit and 35.

[Sparkle]

Jenne, congratulations! I do remember your earlier losses, and I will keep you in my prayers. We'll be waiting to hear on the 18th how your ultrasound goes. I'm sure all will be well.

I had 3 miscarriages in a row before getting pregnant w/ this baby (#7). It was devastating to put it mildly. The first was an early (5 wk) miss, the 2nd much further along and much more difficult and the 3rd (another early one) nearly put me over the edge w/ grief. I'd had others before, but never 3 in a row. My dr. and specialist said the same yours did...no reason, just a fluke. Try again. We did, I was terrified but after seeing the heart beat on the u/s I felt better. Congratulations to you! Prayers for a healthy baby are with you!

[JenneinAZ]

WOW! I am overwhelmed with all the support.

You guys are a million times better than the relatives. We told them over the weekend. They said Congratulations and changed the subject. I will update as soon as I have news.

I am so glad that you are finding support here. When I got pregnant after a miscarriage it really intensified the pain of the previous loss. But, the pain did give way to hope and joy. I will be praying for you and your family.
