Intro (children and loss mentioned)

ACOOK · August 2014

Hello all...

Over the years I have been involved with thebump to help me along the way. I first jumped on during my first pregnancy and was very helpful. Sadly our first ended in a miscarriage. The boards were a true support group. Almost a year later we were successful and got pregnant right away. From there I found that no question is a dumb question. But with that being said, I found that you must be very careful what you say. There have been a few incidences where I have made a comment or asked a question on the boards and it didn't go over very well. I always thought I did my best to be careful of what I said knowing that some situations can be very sensitive to others. I NEVER intend to hurt anyone's feelings. I guess sometimes regardless of what or how a post is read, it can and will affect someone on a personal level. Even after reading the do's and don'ts, it can still seems to be difficult to get a question answered without a negative response.

So here I am, 35 and trying again. We have two beautiful little girls and now hoping to conceive a sibling for them. We were fortunate to get pregnant with our oldest after only a month while our second took about 8 months. This time around we are hopeful for a boy but excited to see the craziness another girl could bring to our already estrogen filled home. Its been a little while since I've logged on so I'm excited to see the changes and meet new people. I hope my experiences can be helpful as well as others for me.

Thanks for reading!
