U/S on Tuesday, still hanging in there...

[marie1210]

I'm at that point where I need reassurance.  I'll be 7wks on Tues and that is when my first u/s is scheduled.  Things usually start to go hay wire for me around 6-8wks.  I'm praying so hard for everything to be all right.  So far, so good.  I haven't had any spotting.  I've had cramping, a little each day.  My nausea was worse at 4 and 5wks, go figure, and my bbs are still sore.  Oh man, I hope this is it.  Every morning, I set aside time to pray and ask God to let me keep this baby.  I want so much to tell my family and friends but I just can't.  I've only ever experienced loss so I don't even know, truly, what a healthy pregnancy feels like. I can't help but think about what the baby room will look like and names.  Do you think I should hold off on this?  My dh is very reserved.  He won't get excited probably until I start to show.  I can't blame him.  In my heart, I feel that this pregnancy is going better.  Oh, I hope I'm right.  I just wanted to tell you all what's going on.  For those of you ttc, stick with it, it's bound to happen.  I found a saying on one of my calendars and now I carry it around with me.  It says "determination all but erases the fine line between the impossible and the possible."  It just seemed to stand out.  Let this encourage all of you.  Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for sharing!  I have been spotting for a total of 8 days sometimes light brown and others dark brown.  And yes its more like discharge but today and yesterday it's alot less.  I have mild cramps on and off, tender bb's, some nausea, I am very tired, and the brown spotting.  I have a doctors appt tomorrow for a ultrasound and I will ask the doctor about the spotting.  Today I am 5 wks pregnant.  I read on the web that it could be normal to spot brown or pink for the 1st 3 months. Hang in there and good luck on your doctors appt on Tuesday.  Let me know how you are doing.

For all 3 of my m/c I always started brown discharge first and then it would get progressively more red until I started bleeding.  The spotting for me would only be for about 3 days before the bleeding.  Sometimes it doesn't mean anything and sometimes it does.  Pay attention to your symptoms because that can have a lot to do with it.  Mine have been on and off since day one so I try not to dwell on them.  I'm just praying to get to Tuesday because then I'll know if there's a baby in there or not.  With the first two they were blighted ovums and the last one a heart beat was found at 6 1/2 wks.  If I see a heartbeat this time, even though I lost my last one, I will be relieved.  Good luck to you!  Oh, I'm not telling anyone until later either.  If I could call them from the hospital and say, "Guess what, I'm pregnant and I'm in labor!"  I would. =)

I hope everything goes well for you!  Stay positive and try no to worry too much.  I do have a question what color where you spotting before?  I just got my BFP on Monday and I have been spotting for one week now.  So I am concerned and hoping nothing is wrong.  I total understand you not wanting to share with your loved ones your GREAT news but I total understand.  I have not told anyone except DH.  We want to wait till I get to 3 months before we tell the family and friends.  Good luck to you!

Just focus on being pregnant and try not to worry about the what ifs.  I know it is hard and I am sure after a m/c it is tough not to worry.  You have been blessed again.  Enjoy every moment of it.  If something is going to happen chances are you will not be able to prevent it.  As for thinking about the baby room and the names...I think it is okay.  I think we all, pregnant or not, think about this. I love your saying.  It is absolutely true!
