Treasure moments like these..

[StrawberryMumma]

Six months ago, to the day, I went to my 12 week U/S (first pregnancy) and found that our little munchkin had died sometime in the weeks before..my heart broke..

Today, now 18 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy, I went and had bubs anatomy scan..I found it hard to hold back my fears of what the U/S COULD show as the experience I had back in June is still so fresh in my mind.....but...as we looked upon the screen this morning we saw the most beautiful, lively, special, and precious little creation and I cannot explain the feelings that were in my heart...I couldn't believe (and still can't) that the scan was all normal..fine..everything looked great. I don't think anything could make me more happier right now..it was the best christmas present ever..I never thought a day like this would come.

When things in life are tough, these are the moments that we should think back to.
They don't get much better than this.

Ok, I'm waffling now!

Lee,that is alutely fabulous news,I am really happy for you that everything is going along great.
I totally agree and understand what you are saying as I also had a m/c in June and I am now 26wks pg and everything is fine. My 18 wk scan I was so worried and it was such a relief to see the beating heart and to know everthing was ok.
Have a great christmas

Hi Lee,

I'm really happy for you! I know what you mean, I had a m/c myself and I was so stressed about all my scans. Though when you see that heartbeat and the bubs moving around in there, it is such a relief and such joy!

Congratulations and enjoy this special time

I remember my first u/s with Mya, i cried as soon as saw her wiggling around. It was the most precious thing i had ever seen. I am fortunate enough to have experienced that feeling twice

Good luck & congratulations Lee,there r so many more precious moments waiting for u in the future

Hi Lee,

Congratulations!!! I completely understand where you're coming from and have been feeling very much the same as you!! I had a missed m/c in May, found out at my 10wk scan that bubs had died and it was the worst feeling in the world.

I'm now 20wks and had my 19wk scan last week. Felt the same as you, scared but then sooo wonderfully relieved that all was perfect. It's such a beautiful thing and I treasure this pg every day (even when the heartburn kicks in)!!!

The kicks are just the most wonderful thing - I'm feeling a lot of movement now too, it's great!!

Well congrats and enjoy!!!
