3rd times the charm?

Hi All,

I don't know if any of you remember me. I was on this board several months ago and I had a miscarriage for the 2nd time. I am thankful for the support I received from so many of you during that time, but I had to stay off the board for a while because it was hard to talk about babies. Well....I am prgnant again! YAY!!! I am around 6 or 7 weeks. It's still really early and I am terrified, of course, that I will miscarry again. This pregnancy feels so different from the last 2 though. I have stronger symptoms and I have actually never even made it past 6 weeks. I have never been as tired as I am right now in my entire life (at least for no apparent reason). But I love that I am tired and nauseated and that the girls are killing me...that makes me hope more.

I don't have my first u/s until 12/14 and I am DYING to have it. It would be the 1st time I've ever seen anything in my uterus. Both of the other times I went because I started spotting and there was nothing there. On top of all this my hubby is finally having his RNY this coming Monday. I hope I have energy to take care of him next week when he really needs me.

Please say a little prayer for me today if you think of it. Hopefully I'll be on this board for at least the next 9 months (well really 8 now right?).

Hi Tina,
welcome back.  I also wasn't aware of your postings as I just recently got back on the boards.  I kinda took a year and a half to almost 2 years off.  I just recently found out I am pregnant again.  I am 7 weeks as well.  I am due July 22nd.  My first ob appt. is next wednesday. 

I am a bit worried because I have had some brown spotting occasionally after going to the bathroom.  Looks like the very end of your period...I called the doctors office and since I am not an established patient there yet, they said it's illegal to talk to me over the phone.  Thought that was a bit weird.  They suggested if I think something is wrong to go to the ER.  I am trying very hard not to form a negative opinion of this practice before actually going there.  But if I don't like it then I will be going to my former ob...I won't mind driving 45 minutes away and driving over state lines. 

Congrats and I hope your little bean sticks!

Hey Tina,

I remember you and I remember when you lost your little one. Welcome back and congrats!  The third time was definately the charm for me! After 2 miscarriages, I now have my Tristan who is more than I ever hoped for. Stronger symptoms can be good (something about higher hormone levels). Good luck this time around. I will definately  be praying that you get to hold this little one in your arms and watch them grow into a wonderful person. I know what you mean about being petrified. Honestly, I didn't relax until I was about 30 weeks. I remember at week 33 standing in my son's room realizing "holy crap, there's going to be a baby in here soon!". I had my first ultrasound at 6 weeks and it kinda looked like a jelly bean... then at 12 weeks it had decernable limbs. I found that googling pics of what it should look like helped with the waiting.

Congrats!
Victoria
