Hi I’m new and desperately needing this thread. 

Weeks/EDD? Not sure yet likely 4-6 weeks

How are you feeling? Emotionally & physically?
Terrified if I am honest. I don’t even feel like I can be even remotely hopeful yet even though this is a desperately wanted baby.  Hope this isn’t terrible to dump but I just to get it out of me in June of 22 we had our anatomy scan for my son only to discover he has passed away in utero and I had to be induced and delivered him sleeping the next day.  I was able to hold him and he was tiny but perfect.  Flash forward two months later I hadn’t had my first pp yet and began losing big clots and experiencing pain so went into my OB.  We both expected it was likely a miscarriage and she had me scheduled for a ultrasound that afternoon.  I ended up experiencing horrible pain and became very unwell, blacking out difficulty breathing and we went to the ER. It turned out I  had a cesarian scar ectopic pregnancy and it had ruptured and I was internally hemorrhaging. So we knew any future pregnancies would have this risk so we were not actively trying. This last month was crazy and I missed days of my birth control. I actually just had met with MFM last week about talking about if we tried for another pregnancy what that would look like. Jokes on me I was already pregnant haha 

Any appointment updates? I have had two HCG draws and so far numbers look good and I will test again in a week which hopefully be high enough for us to do an ultrasound to determine if this a viable pregnancy or if it is another cesarian ectopic. 

Any big milestones?

Rants/Raves/Questions?  Not right now just trying to manage all of the feelings right now.
