Hello ladies!
I am here to cautiously introduce myself. I have been lurking and doing some posting on May 2012, PGAL and here but have not introduced myself.
I am 37(38 in December) and this will be my 3rd child. I have 2 boys, Bryce 16yrs and in the autism spectrum, Owen 8yrs old. My dh and I have wanted another baby for many years but things just never fell into place. I was pregnant back in late Feb but had a missed m/c on 04/29. I am almost 7 weeks and very scared but hopeful! Things feel right this time if that makes any sense. My first ob appt is 10/05 and I will be 9w1d per my LMP.
I am happy to be here. You all seem like a great bunch of ladies! Very supportive.
Re: Cautious intro!
I completely understand your hestitation after your loss. Been there, done that, own the tee shirt. I hope you will find as I am finding as the weeks tick by that it gets a little less stressful and you get to feel a little more peaceful. The waiting for something bad to happen never truely goes away completely, I still want to throw up before every Drs apt. but it does get better.
Wishing you a happy, healthy 9 months and WELCOME

Welcome and congratulations.
I had a loss last fall and it really makes the next pregnancy completely nerve wracking. But most people go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies after a loss. Good luck.
Welcome Mama!
