im excited but SUPER nervous!! We've been trying ever since we miscarried 9 months ago and I finally got a positive. Anyone else in a similar situation? Looking for thoughts/support while waiting for the 2nd trimester :)

    Me too. I had a miscarriage a little over 5 months ago. I'm really excited about getting pregnant again but I'm definitely cautiously optimistic. I'm trying to be happy and calm but it's hard to not worry about it happening again.

    I'm 4w3d today! My last baby died at 8w3d. We got chromosomal testing done so I know he was a boy. We named him Cole. My sweet angel baby. I'm sure I'll feel better after I hit 9 weeks since that was the ultrasound where we got the sad news.

    I am so sorry :( our baby was just shy of 8 weeks, I didn't get to have any testing done bc I passed it at home. My I am 4w2d!! :) I'll feel a lot better after 9 weeks too! We've just gotta take it one day and week at a time :)

    Had a mc 7-8 wks along. Ended up using that as LMP for my current little one (5 months old). Yeh I'm on a pregnancy app again 50/50 on purpose. Didn't try for so soon after but didn't prevent it.

    @kswai555 I had one in July and another in November too, both around 9 weeks. I am 4 weeks and 3 days now. Sending positive thoughts to everyone!

    I'm currently 4 weeks+3. I had 5 miscarriages last year, the last one being in November at nearly 9 weeks due to chromosome abnormalities or 'bad luck' as our specialist told us.
    I think I'm too afraid to get my hopes up again.

    I lost my first pregnancy 5.5 years ago around 9 weeks, I've had 2 successful pregnancies (and 1 more loss at 17 weeks) since, and I'm still a nervous hot mess until I can pick up the heart beat on my Doppler. Hoping for a happy and healthy 9 months for all!

    Wow! I am so glad that there are other women who joined this post! It's better to not feel so alone. DH doesn't even want to tell our parents yet bc he's so afraid we'll lose the baby again so staying positive by yourself is lonely and not always easy. I pray and hope we all get our rainbow babies

    Honestly I want to tell my in-laws, I am very close with my MIL in particular but he's very scared and doesn't want to cause extra hurt, which I understand but surrounding yourself with love and support like you said makes it a little easier. So far I've only told his grandmother, who I'm also very close too and my best friend who is finally pregnant after a year of trying. I think going through another MC with just he and I knowing would make me very depressed and even more lonely :/

    I too am going through the same thing! I miscarried in August at 11w3days and just got my BFP making me 4w3days. I am also very excited but terribly nervous.

    I miscarried at 10 weeks in December and we waited 2 months to start trying again.I just found out I'm pregnant again. We did have testing done and there was nothing found. I'm so excited but so nervous and hoping this time everything goes well! It's so hard no to tell anyone but last time we told family and then had to break the sad news to them which was so hard.

    @morganabbey986 I completely agree, telling our close family and friends was heartbreaking.
    @mommyofaei yes it is! Longest 2 months EVER!!! Lol

    What kind of symptoms are everyone having?!

    @mrswelty12 Weird cravings like I want taco bell and steak! Foods I would normally stay away from. I'm so worried about gaining a lot of weight I'm really trying to eat healthy and keep the exercise up!

    @morganabbey986 good for you! I could kick myself bc I had just stopped working out bc of shin splints so I think I'll stick to walking and less strenuous stuff now.

    I pee every 20 minutes which is SUPER inconvenient lol, breast tenderness on only the left and I get dead tired around 8:30pm.

    I totally understand that, but just for another point of view. We tell people we would want love and support from in the case of a loss. My first loss we kept it to ourselves and I got pretty depressed because I felt really alone in what I was going through. Not saying that's the case for everyone and I totally understand not telling.

    This was us. I miscarried in Oct of 13 at 5 weeks. We hadn't told a soul we were pregnant so when we lost the baby it was really difficult and hard emotionally. DH pretty much shut it out and I was kind of left alone I felt like.

    I hope we all have a happy and healthy 9 months. I've just been focusing on what I can control and giving the rest up to God to decide on.

    I'm so sorry for all of your losses, but I have to say it is really reassuring to have so many ladies to relate to! This is my third pregnancy, I miscarried naturally in Dec '13 at 6 wks, then a missed miscarriage this past September '14 at 9 wks. My DH and I are very excited and hopeful that third time is a charm!! I'm nervous to tell my family because I went through quite a bit of depression after the second MC and I'm worried they won't be excited - instead I feel like they'll be nervous that I'll go down "that road" again. I agree that this is in God's hands @mrswelty12 and @amh0411712 so I'm just trying to stay positive and calm.

    We told people super early with our first 2 babies and had no problems.!so in September when I found out I was preggo again we started telling people slowly. I had a miscarriage October 1. I eas actually glad we told everyone because we had support! We got a positive test on Saturday and I want to be excited, but I can't go there yet. We have told some close friends and family. Praying for everyone!

    Right back at you @mrswelty12!! I found out last Wednesday, but it was super early. My estimated due date is Nov 8th (we'll see if my Dr agrees when I finally get to be seen next Wednesday). I did have HCG levels checked last Wednesday and Friday and my HPT went from 1-2 weeks last Wednesday to 2-3 weeks today (yes I'm still checking haha) - so far, so good X_X

    @mrssunnyside no shame haha! I'm going to keep track too! My old OB in Texas agreed to run bloodwork Friday to check my levels (YAY!!!!) so that if anything is low we can take the necessary steps and I have an appt with an OB up here in OK on April 6th which seems FOREVER away lol! I think I'm due around November 10th?

    I can relate to you all! So anxious to get through a healthy first trimester! I mc'd last fall and am now 5 weeks. We had told some friends and family last time and it was tough. Good to have support but still tough to tell everyone what happened. This time we are waiting and time is going sooooo slow!

    Just catching up on all of the posts since my last post. Wow! This is cool! We don't know each other but we are all connected through this common experience. I told myself that when I got pregnant again I wouldn't tell as many people as I did the first time. I've told a few people. I can't keep it totally just between my husband and myself. I need support. More specifically, I need the right kind of support. I really learned with my miscarriage who was able to give me the type of support I needed. Also, when we started trying again and I would get negative tests and completely fall a part... from residual grief, I learned who could support me with that. These are the people I've told. The people who I know will hold that space for me if something happens and won't give me advice or tell me something unhelpful.

    @wright27 I know it's awesome isn't it! We all have other women who truly understand to turn to along this journey :) that's kind of what I did as far as who I've told. My best friend has PCOS and so I've told her bc we talk every day about everything and she's been so supportive and encouraging.

    @JustDoIt62009 small world!! I'm up in NW OK, SOOOO cold today

    I also was told I have pcos (and wondering how that factored into my MC last fall...) this time I'm staying on metformin. I've read studies showing it lowers risk of MC. I had no idea!

    @mrswelty12 April 6th does seem like forever from now! Good thing we're here to support each other! I'm in Texas now - funny that we're not that far apart geographically either :) 

    @wright27 I've told my best friend because she's been on this journey with me (we got pregnant at the same time after both TTC for a year, only that was my first MC :( I've also told two other girlfriends, but I agree - it's the ones that I know can support me in the way that is truly helpful. Some people I am so close to and would love to talk to about all this, they just can't relate. 

    @morganabbey986YAY for another 11/8 date! I hope it's accurate and that my Dr doesn't shift it around on me. All the apps and calculators match up so far so I'm hoping this is "THE" date!

    @lbrooke27 I am sorry to hear that. My friend who has it was TTC for over a year and is now 4 months pregnant. I'm not sure how it affects MC but I know it makes conception more difficult. I'm glad you're with us all though with our November babies :)

    @mrssunnyside I know right! It's pretty cool that some of us aren't too far away. I hope we can keep this thread going as we all keep on going through our pregnancies.
