Pregnant after a Loss

Introduction

I've been kind of lurking around for a few weeks and figured I should probably do an intro. I don't exactly know my DD because my cycles have been out of whack the last few months and I don't know the date of my LMP so I am estimating but it's somewhere between 3/30 and 4/2 so I'm 9ish weeks. I don't know how to do a sig because I'm usually on my phone but I have 3 kids (DD8, DS6 and DS2) and I had one m/c between my sons.

I'm feeling very cautious about the excitement for this pg because of my previous loss and the fact that I feel sort of like we are pushing our luck trying for 4 kids. Everyone told me I was crazy for even considering another one so we haven't told anyone yet. We want this baby for sure and we were hoping for it but I feel like I'm just stuck in limbo mode. I was supposed to have my first u/s tomorrow morning but my doctor had to do a surgery so it was rescheduled for 9/8. So I guess it's a couple more weeks of limbo for me.... Anyway, that's why I haven't really done an intro yet. I was afraid I wouldn't be sticking around. I'm trying to stay hopeful though.

Re: Introduction

  • Welcome and congrats! I'm afraid I am a bit confused by how far along you think you might be. How long are your cycles? My LMP was like May 8 (I think) and I am fifteen weeks. Wouldn't April 1 make you near 20 weeks? I'm sorry if I am not reading that right.

    I think every person on here was really nervous that she wouldn't stay long on this board. We all get it. If you think it will help, please post on the First Trimester check-in that I goes up tonight if our wifi comes back on after this nasty storm. Congrats again!

  • LOL. I just saw what I wrote and I can see the confusion. It made sense in my head. I have gotten DUE dates between those ranges based on when I think we may have conceived and approx when my LMP was. I am not totally sure about the LMP date.

    Oh and they are keeping an eye out for cancellations for me but I'm trying not to get my hopes up for that. They tried to fit me in with a different doctor but there wasn't anyone available. It's a busy practice. I really like my dr though. I'm just hoping everything is ok.
  • Oh that makes sense! :)
