Hey Ladies!
I'm back in the game! I found out on Tuesday (but didn't believe it till Thursday) that I am pregnant again. Backstory-I have five kids ages 20-10. I had a m/c in 1991 at 6/7 weeks, and another one this past May at 10 weeks.
Dh and I decided this year that we wanted one last one : ) Our kids were all so excited last time. We're not telling yet-in fact The Bump is the only place that knows besides us! I'm 42 and everyone we know is long done and Dh's brother and sil became grandparents this year, as did my bff from middle school LOL.
Hoping and praying that this lil one sticks like superglue. I had made a plan with my midwife-I called her already and I will be seen soon and she'll prescribe progesterone support. At least it's something I can do. But most likely the m/c was due to cromosonal stuff-at this age. If things look good after a couple blood draws we'll tell the kids!
So far, feeling good except TIRED lol. I will probably be holding my breath until 12 weeks though and I admit every single twinge scares me. But it is what it is.
