Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss Februrary 2010

[Maggie355]

Hi ladies,

I too have been reading this thread for the last couple of weeks and just not felt ready to post, until now.

I am currently 6 weeks preg with my (hopefully) 3rd child. My first preg ended in mc nearly 6 years ago which was the most devastating thing I have ever gone through. At the same time my best friend was preg with her first and a work friend was preg with her 3rd - an unplanned preg due the same day as my baby I lost. After my mc I had to endure watching my work friend's unplanned preg unfold and the eventual delivery of her daughter. It was all so heart wrenching, so I can identify with those feelings of jealousy etc some of you were talking about. Life can be so cruel sometimes.

Fortunately DH and I went on to have 2 beautiful girls, although both pregnancies were plagued with problems early on. I bled very heavily and almost continually with both. Talk about a roller coaster. Weekly ultrasounds which I found so stressful I now even struggle to watch fake ultrasound scenes on TV shows! I find preg to be the most stressful thing.

Now I am 6 weeks along and so far, no bleeding. But am I am happy? No. I try to take comfort from the never-ending sickness, but I just cannot wait for my first scan in 2 weeks.

I send out much love to all of you and hope that things go exactly as planned. No nasty surprises.
