Pregnant after a Loss

Lurking for a week-now intro! (Loss mentioned)

Hello beautiful ladies, I wanted to cautiously introduce myself. I got my bfp a week ago, but have been anxious for about a week. I estimate to be 5w along now so it is still very early. This is my second pregnancy, our last one we had a mmc at almost 11 weeks, so I am probably not going to relax until we pass that milestone and some. I have taken like 5 pregnancy tests over the past week and a half, today it changed almost instantly so I should start enjoying being pregnant as best as I can. I am somewhat disappointed that I am so hesitant to share this, so far only shared with my DH. We will keep it under wraps until 2nd tri.
I hope that we can enjoy/get through this journey together. Here is to a H&H 9 months :).

  • Congrats on your BFP! I was you four months ago. I tested every three days to make sure lines were getting darker and had myself convinced i had an ectopic or we would never see a heartbeat. We also suffered a mmc at 10 weeks discovered at 13 weeks, so those first weeks drag by so SLOW. I am now 20 weeks today and have only recently been able to breathe a sigh of relief because I can find him with a Doppler at home. I hope you have a healthy 9 months and get your healthy rainbow!

  • Congrats on your BFP! We are in the same boat, just about. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks 2 days, so this has been a long two weeks already. My last pregnancy ended in a mmc at 9 weeks 3 days.

    I hope it brings you comfort to know that you are not alone in this journey. Hoping you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

  • Congratulations!!!  I think you are in good company I found out when I was 4wks and today I am officially in my second trimester at 14wk, and yes I can believe it has been 10 long weeks.  Anyway I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months.

  • CONGRATULATIONS!! I was where you were at the beginning of August! It's tough and the days drag on. Try to remain positive! Each milestone provides a breath of fresh air. Cheers to you, mama!
  • Thank you all, so glad to hear your success stories for those that are in 2nd tri and beyond! @babycakes8214 have you announced it on June 2016 BMB? I just added my due date to the master list....it was nerve wrecking! One step at a time :D

  • Congratulations!!! I also found out super early (I'm an insane POAS addict) and am 21 weeks. The first trimester is awful--time seemed to crawl by and I was so anxious and miserable. Things are going much faster in the second trimester and I actually forgot I was pregnant today until a student side eyed me and asked if there was a baby in there. And then asked to touch my belly. (He's 6 and I've worked with him since he was 5, so it's not as creepy as it sounds.) Here's to a very uneventful pregnancy and holding that sweet baby in 9 months!

    My EDD is 5/30 (as of right now, I haven't had a dating ultrasound yet) so I announced on the May board. One step at a time is right. I have to take every day, day by day. It is hard though.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  And I completely feel you on this complicated emotion of "happy scared".  Congrats on your bfp!!  My friend who has had two miscarriages (and two beautiful babies!) has said to me "celebrate the now".  Each pregnancy is different, and that's what I'm trying to do.  Though it's super, super early for me- faint but definitely there bfp at 9dpo- (now at 12dpo, with a very strong line) I'm trying for hope, and hoping for you as well.
    Welcome.
