Had a loss in Aug. Now preg. w/#2

Will be praying that this time around brings a happy, happy ending for you!

Congrats! Don't read into anything like dates while preggers. It will drive you crazy. I know, easier said than done. I know I loss mine at 7 weeks and had mile marker celebrations. I breathed a little easier when I made it past 7 weeks, when I made it to the second trimester, when I made it to 20 weeks, and when I made it to the third trimester. For some reason for me 37 weeks wasn't that big of a deal for me. I know my best friend's wife has had 2 cerlages and did fine with both her sons after losing a daughter at 23 weeks.

I know it's next to impossible - but try to separate this pregnancy in your mind from your previous pregnancy.  Hopefully now that the drs know about - and have presumably fixed - the cervix problem, you will never have to go through anything like your first loss again...even if it means weeks on end of bedrest...it'll be so worth it in the end...and you'd have us to entertain you all that time (not trying to make light of your situation...just trying to bring a smile). 

Keep the chant going....

TODAY, I am pregnant!
Today, I am pregnant!
Today, I AM pregnant!
Today, I am PREGNANT!

Say it as often as needed, as a mental reminder to those voices in the back of your head to shut them up.

Well, I guess my big thing is that I know that when I hit 16 weeks I will ******vous wreck. I will try not to let it bother me much, but being its new and it would be Conners due date.. its gonna be rough. I will keep busy that day tho, not only for the sake of my own sanity, but for kevins too...

I will post new photos of the ultrasounds after we see the MFM on 1-31-10. Seeing him also makes me cringe, I was suppose to see him with the first pregnancy and didn't make it that long, so I see passing these dates as milestones. My dr says its totally normal and its a huge mind-game, and I agree... 

Anyhow, I will try to keep ya posted. If anyone wants to find me on facebook, have at it... I am there most days, (tho not as of lately for some odd reason...) I am under the name Christina schramm King (saginaw mi) and its a photo of me and my husband (the 2 of us are almost always my profile photo).  There is a tribute and lots of photos of the birth of Conner, and remember he was only 16 weeks... Some are graphic, some are not... fair warning ♥

Take care and have a good new year peeps :)

BTW, I don't want anyone upset by the things I say or post, this is aplace of learning and if I can help anyone or answer any questions of what it was like or what is going on lemme know... And let me know if I EVER offend anyone...
