It's been a while since I've posted on the bump. I miscarried in November at 8 weeks. My DH and I were able to see the progress of our baby almost weekly because I was high risk. When i miscarried our world shattered. We were newly married in August and this was both of our first babies. We were over the moon. Then in November the world we knew was cruel. Almost every night for 2 months I cried. It was hard to breathe most days and I just felt alone. While our friends were having their babies and announcing the new batch of babies, I just felt alone and I was constantly depressed.
My dh has been my rock. He's been there for me through everything, held my hand and held me while I sobbed. Last week I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I was okay with that. I knew it wasn't our time yet.
I started to get some abdominal pains and I thought "oh Aunt Flo is coming!" But she didn't show up and then the pain became a familiar pain, something I felt with our first baby. Last night I took a test and to my disbelief it was positive. I ran up stairs in shock and searched for my clearblue weeks estimator, again it said positive and by now my heart was racing out of my chest. There's no way I can be pregnant again and then it flashed 1-2 weeks. My first thought was no fudging way! It couldn't be right but 6 tests later, I'm believing it.
I'm scared of the unknown but I know no two pregnancies are the same.
I told my husband last night when he got home from work and we're working on our feelings.
I'm praying for an uneventful next 9 months.
Sorry for the long post.
