Finally pregnant and petrified

**natwantsababy** · August 1st, 2010, 10:14 PM

Hi Ladies,

I just found out after months and months of TTC baby #2 I am finally pregnant, Only 5 weeks along but still exciting.

The only catch is i had one misscarrage before our DS was conceived and a chemical pregnancy a few months back so i am very very scared that I am going to loose this beautiful miracle; I lost approx 25kg about 6 months ago and was fairly slim to start off with and the doctor told me that i am underweight and before TTC again that i needed to put on atleast 5 kg as he said that being underweight and 'unhealthy' could have been a contributing factor.... But then again it may not have

I have put on 800g which has been hard work but i am a little worried...... I am intollerant to dairy, wheat, color 102 and MSG so its a bit hard to put weight on using the normal means (i.e protein shakes, Junk foods, take away and chocolate etc)

DH and I are so happy and excited but trying very hard not to get too excited as we dont want to get our hopes smashed!!

Thanks for your time!!

xx

I can understand not wanting to get excited too early, especially after what you've been through

I'm confident you'll be fine.

Congratulations!! I can understand your fears - I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks immediately before getting lucky with this bub and I didn't feel comfortable until 21 weeks in. It is a scary time but you have to remember that your body CAN do this, has done it before, and that every mum, whether she has had a miscarriage or not, gets scared and worried right up to the last minute. And as you know, having a child is like letting your heart walk around outside your body, so there is always a little shadow of worry even once they are born.

But ponder this : "Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother" (Kahlil Gibran)
