Pregnant after a Loss
Mixed Emotions
Hello,
I am about 5 weeks and sooooo nervous. My husband and I had a missed miscarriage (which basically means, the baby stopped developing and I had no symptoms) @ 9 weeks, in December and we are now pregnant again. Just about 5 weeks and this will be our first. We are both sooooo excited yet scared at the same time. I had my beta levels drawn and my levels are increasing!! My first OB apt is on March 5th and it can't come soon enough!!!
I never thought that i would say this, but I am so grateful every morning when I am feeling nauseous.
If any one has any helpful advice that could keep us positive we would appreciate it...
Lindsey

Hi! I'm new here too
. Just stay positive and happy! That's all I'm trying to do 
. My healthcare is under tricare, so the system works a bit differently, so sadly i probably won't have my first official prenatal appt. until late march (boo), but here's to hoping for the very best for everyone here 
.
I'm so waiting for the nausea to set in, still. I read somewhere a sick mom is a healthy baby, so I'm just counting the days until I'm hugging porcelain, as gross as that is. My nipples are so sore and sensitive too, that's about my only constant reminder that I'm expecting
. Looking forward to the journey!
Congratulations

I don't have much advice, but I wanted to say that I'm totally with you...every day I feel pregnant is amazing, even if I'm miserable (though I like the excuse to be lazy :-P ). Likewise, any time I have a "good day," I'm paranoid and always feeling my boobs to make sure they are still sore, lol. All I can say is that I worried throughout my first pregnancy too, and when I miscarried, I think I had this revelation where I realized that whatever will be will be; and all that worrying didn't change anything, it just made me miserable. I will be devastated if I lose another pregnancy, but I rest easy knowing that worrying about it won't help me now.
My sono is on March 6, so consider me waiting in agony right alongside you!!! I hope we both have healthy and happy pregnancies :-)
I have been where you are. It is so hard to be excited. Part of me still feels guilty for not bonding with our little one at the beginning. I was just too scared to get attached. But you are doing what I did - get up each morning feeling pregnant and reassure yourself that you'll be okay. Once you get past your 9 week mark you'll begin to feel much better. I used to crawl on DH's lap and ask him to tell me that everything was going to be okay. I know it sounds stupid but hearing him say it helped a lot. And we did a lot of praying for our LO.
GL! T&P are with you! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!!

I think we are all exactly where you are. It's very scary. I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up in a few weeks when everything is alright.
I am feeling very pregnant (sick, sore boobs etc) but still can't believe that I am actually pregnant again (two miscarriages) and am scared to believe it.
Good luck!
Hang in there and try to keep busy and distracted.
