    Hi Possums,

    Gosh, I don't know how to feel with your news.
    I am so sorry you have this condition, but on the other hand thank goodness you now have an answer. I hope that now knowing this you'll be able to get the care you need to have a wonderful, healthy pregnancy with a beautiful ending.
    Take care of yourself babe.

    Possums - dont be hard on yourself for feeling down, or not feeling optimistic that you now know what is happening..I still feel 'cheated' out of a 'normal' pg - even though things are going well. And you have suffered great loss to get to this point - and that will never go away.

    People ask me all the time if I got MS and then proceed to tell me how lucky I was that I did not...then I tell them very nicely that I'm lucky I did not get MS because I dont think I could handle giving myself 2 injections a day and throwing up!!! Wipes the smile of their face a little - I hate peoples judgement that somehow because I did not get MS I have an 'easy' pg!

    I resent the fact that I have trouble enjoying being pg because I'm worried about what the APLS might mean for the baby, and that I still live for scans to make sure that Tex is growing well.

    So dont be hard on yourself - what you are feeling, is normal, as is still being worried and wondering what you/we did to be in this position (we did nothing to deserve it - it just happened), and that it is unfair that we have to go through this. I totally understand and am happy to hold your hand, as we all need support as we travel this journey!
