I have just started venturing out of the second trimester forum and I came across this thread of posting. I just want to say that I think you are all so brave coming to terms with m/c. I hope none of what i write comes out the wrong way and I am sorry if it does. When i found out i was pregnant DH and i were in shock because we were not expecting to fall preg naturally, let alone on the first time (Because I have PCOS). For the first 3 months i had reactive depression because I was taking so much medication to keep my baby. I had the nurse from my doctors surgery ring me on a friday and tell me that I am most likely going to miscarry that weekend because of my low progesterone and to be prepared. I cired and cried for the whole weekend but had no bleeding. On Monday I went to see my doc and had HCG tests and my bub was fine. I needed an u/s to believe it though. So although i havent m/c i sort of do understand the emotional (not physical) side of it.
It has been very very tough for me to hold onto Bubbs, i have had weekly to 2x weekly blood tests, oodles of different medications, visiting heaps of weird and wonderful doctors and many many visitis to the OB and ER at the local hospital. (The midwives know me by name down there! and they see about 100 women a week!) anyway I just wanted to give some hope that even when the odds are against you, miracles can still happen. I prayed for weeks and weeks before we started TTC officially that I too would experience the joy of having my own baby, and I am very lucky to be 20 weeks preg almost.
I know it is hard to do, but please dont give up hope because I know good things DO happen to good people... hey I am a great example.
