Introduction

Hi ladies!  We just got a surprise BFP yesterday.  This is our fifth pregnancy, and hopefully our third baby.  If born near his/her due date, this baby would be about 12-13 months younger than DD.  Holy cow, huh?!?

My backstory...

First pregnancy ended in m/c at 18 weeks.  We lost that little boy due to a ringed 18th chromosome.  A few months later I got pg with DS.  All screenings (NT, AFP, Big u/s) came back normal.  DS was born seemingly healthy at 37wks 5days.  A month later he started having seizures.  He was diagnosed with the genetic condition Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Infantile Spasms/Epilepsy.  He has several seizures/day despite many anti-convulsant medications.  Because of this he is developmentally delayed.  He just started walking at his 2 year birthday, and we couldn't be prouder!  :)

When he was 6 months old we started TTC again, but since I was EPing I wasn't ovulating yet.  I weaned him at 7.5 months, and ended up pg when he was 9 months old.  That pg ended in a m/c at almost 5 weeks--often called a chemical pregnancy.  A couple of months later I got pg with DD.  We had a CVS test with her at 10.5 weeks, and it came back normal.  We also had a level II u/s at 18 weeks, and that also was normal.  Our healthy little girl was born in March 2010 at 38 weeks! 

We decided after she was born to not TTC but not TTA either...and here I am!  Hopefully with a sticky healthy baby!  :)

Thanks for reading my story!

  • Welcome and congratulations.

    It sounds like you have been through a lot and you're a very strong person/mother. I think I posted in another thread that you just may be our resident expert. Hopefully you can help keep us calm as we ask all of our 1st tri nervous-nelly questions. :)

    H&H 9 months to you!
