Pregnant after a Loss

OK, help an old girl out.

Hi all. Nice to see so many new faces. I am usually on PAL.
I was wondering if any of you might have some advice. Or if you recognize me, if you would mosey over to PAL to read my barely coherent, middle of the night posts.
I find myself pregnant after 1 night and an oops. I would be happy, but those of you that know me know I have been pg 5 times before, and have 2 beautiful children who were adopted. None of the other 5 pg's worked out. And I have no OB, as this was not really on our radar right now. And I have only been taking 2 Flintstones daily, as we have 2 toddlers in the house.
I put a ticker in because I have never done that. And someone needs to whip out those mantras quick.
Newt, maybe this will topple you into labor. It toppled me into panic mode--Mr. MI is calm and hopeful. He is clearly a "freak out" amateur.
Much love and health to all, Jill

Oh Jill!
How exciting! I know you must be scared, but we're here to hold your hand all the way through! BIG ((HUGS))!!
Remember, your past doesn't dictate your future! Congratulations, hun! I'd start calling docs as soon as offices open!
BTW, I popped over to PAL and read what you posted there, and I think you should call the doc who knows you just to get in fast and get betas drawn, so they can start you on prog if you need it, and get a scrip for PNVs. Once you have that stuff done, you can "shop around" for a doc you'd be happier with. Ask people you know who are pregnant or who have small children---that's how I found my OB, and I love him.
Try not to worry or freak out too much! I know that's easier said than done....
Congrats MI! If anyone deserves a healthy & happy pg, it's you!
XOXO
I remember you Jill and congratulations! If you're not sticking with your old obgyn you can always get a referal from your gp or even from friends (but the sneaky " I need a new gyno" kinda way). I hope this one sticks for you!

Jill, OMG!!! I lurk PAL all the time, but I saw this post first. I am so excited and scared, right along with you! I'm posting the mantras for you below. This is an exciting time above all else, so try to enjoy every day of it. ((big big hugs)) to you. I hope you stick around here for a very long 9 months!!! Wow!
"Today I am pregnant and I love my baby."
"I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise."
"My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c."
"Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you." We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!
"Hope does not make bad things happen" You cannot ?jinx? your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!
Hardest one: "There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (gods forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive."
Hi Jill, congratulations!! You are in my thoughts and prayers
I'm sure you will keep us posted.
Thanks, but this has not sunk in yet. I see my GP at 12:15 for a long appointment--she knows my history well. I know she will order any and all labs--she managed my ectopic and aftercare when the OB's would not believe me until I ruptured (clowns). So I do trust her. I guess we will just see where this goes.
WOW!!!! You and Mr. MI as well as your children are in our prayers! GL and I will be looking for an update!

I have heard of these thing all the time! People who adopt and then get pregnant with healthy babies. In fact, it happened to a colleague of mine, she found out right before going to Guatemala to get her daughter.
I think...you're busy with two little ones, say a few prayers, find yourself a Dr., and go on with life. As you've learned by now, whatever will be will be, freak out or not, and you've got so much going on, maybe they'll be a great distraction to get you through the pregnancy?
Happy and Healthy 9 months to you and you're in my prayers!
OMG! Holy Crap!!! Congratulations!I will be keeping my fingers crossed that this will be your miracle baby!
