edited by MOD jen629...Although a very touching story it is very ripe and raw for many women and hearing a success right now does not help their grieving so I am making the choice to edit this
Thank you. I just had my second miscarriage in a row and I am feeling discouraged. I do have a precious son already but I always imagined having a sibling for him. I want to try one more time but my husband doesn't think he wants to. I'm going to show him your post. Congrats on your wonderful baby. Enjoy every moment!
Congratulations! Just a thought...this doesn't bother me, but I'd suggest putting a warning (baby mentioned or something) in your title for women who are exerpeience a very new and raw loss. This could be hard for them to hear, even though it's a happy ending. That said, I'm thrilled for you and wish you all the best with your new little one.

Thanks for your post! I'm not at all offended by what you wrote. I have a hard time right now hearing about other people's pregnancies and babies if I don't know their situation, but hearing hopeful stories like yours makes it easy for me to relate. These are the thoughts that go through my head as I start thinking about trying again soon (waiting on AF), I wonder if it's ever going to happen for us and it's nice to hear that others worry about this too and have a positive outcome.

Uuuh....this is ridiculously inappropriate. Im sorry for your losses but get your but over to pgal, and put a warning in your post for gods sake. You are a brand new bumpie and you have absolutely no business on this board squishing your new baby in everybody's face. We KNOW people can have babies after a loss...that's what pgal is about. Bye bye.

Thumbs up! The post has obviously been edited but I can imagine what it was all about. I get that it people think they are being uplifting and newbies want to hear the good stories. But it's absolute torture to someone like me who has been TTC for three years next month with three losses under my belt and now IVF as my only shot. I wish these strangers would think about those who have it worse than them and see that it doesn't bring me hope. It brings me dread. Like maybe I've missed my shot and there is no hope.
I think it was very wrong to "edit" this story. It was someone who HAD miscarriages and then joy, not someone coming in saying oh look at me pregnant on first try! Or hey this is my 5th surprise baby! This person felt the same pain you are feeling now.
Re: There is hope...(edited by Mod)
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for your post. It made me cry and was such an encouragement to me.
Congratulations on your beautiful Grace!
Seriously.....rubbing your baby in the faces of women fresh from their losses? Classy. This is not the place for this. GTFO.
I should be having my baby right any day now, so thanks for the reminder.
