Pregnant after a Loss

I've moved over here sooner than I thought - Intro

Hello Ladies, I feel like I just introduced myself to TTCAL and now I am here! I didn't expect to get pg in July since we took it a little easy, but I can't say I am disappointed though.  I got a BFP yesterday and I am only 4 weeks along. I haven't even got a hold of my OB's office yet though I left a message.   I am extremely nervous so I figured I would post here.  I assume all this anxiety that I am having is is normal after having a loss.  My last pregnancy ended at 6 weeks and I was in a lot of pain for the week leading up to it.  The cramps I am having now come and go and are mildly discomforting.  I keep feeling like AF will show up.  I am very tired and was nauseous all morning.  I hope that is a good sign.  

I've lurked here and I find you all strong and amazing and look forward to getting to know you on your pg journey.  I hope I get to stay!  

Anyone else in grad school?

  • Congrats and welcome! Nausea and fatigue are great signs. The anxiety is a completely normal part of the experience. 

    I'm also in grad school- I'm finishing up my MA in anthropology then taking an undetermined amount of time off before continuing on for my PhD. LO has been lectured numerous times to stay put until the semester is over with! What are you in grad school for?

  • Congrats and welcome!  AF like cramping, exhaustion and nausea are all part of the fun of 1st tri....I'm going through it all right now too.  But it also reassures me that there is a healthy baby in there, so I am thankful for that.

  • Welcome and congrats on you BFP!! Wishing you a H&H 9!!
  • Congrats!  H & H 9 months to you!

    I am also in grad (law) school and am due in March.   I plan to take a slightly fuller load this semester and then should be able to be half time for my very last semester in the spring.  I'm trying to still finish on time if I can, but we're just taking it one day at a time.

    Congrats lady!! H&H 9 mo!

     I remember your intro on TTCAL --I'm the PT whose husband just graduated from PT school as well. Ugh. Grad school is rough, even for the little old spouse who isn't even going to class:)

  • Congratulations and welcome!!  I had a similar experience with my loss - I was over at TTCAL for barely a month, and I was so very fortunate to get a BFP with my next cycle.  It was difficult for me to adjust because I hadn't really processed my loss at that point.  I really hope you have an easier time of it!
  • I'm in a PhD program for speech language pathology.  I took 6 years between the end of my MA and the beginning of the PhD program, so I understand about needing time away from academia.  I hope LO stays put!  Good luck with the rest of your program.  

    Oops, edit - this was supposed to be a reply to emd2887.  I'm still new to Bumping too.  

     And thank you all for the warm welcome!
