my name is rhonda only this morning i took a test, and i am pregnant. this is my third prenancy in two years and i am scared.
i had a blighted ovum, then a miscarriage at 3 months. i dont know how to feel i don't even want to tell my husband for he wants a child badly. i have a 6yrs old son from a previous relationship.
now i sit here wondering should i htink negative or positive. could someone tell me what to do? should i go to the hospital or a doctor . i want to be happy but after those two mishaps i just dont wanna go through it again.
also last tuesday i did a tattoo oh gosh would that cause a problem please anwwer me anyone.

well I think unless your partner is a pos blood type then you should be alright, but even if he is they have a shot they can give you to prevent antibodies from forming.

before i din't mention my blood group is O Negative thats the reason why i am so down.

thank you both for replying to me and i will htink positive. the only thing i am taking and i use to take it on and off is the folic acid.

Hi Rhonda!!
You should be fine with the tattoo...ALWAYS think positive hon! it's the best thing for you and your baby. Start with today and think about what the best things you can do for your baby are from today forward, and don't worry about what happened in the past (WAY easier said than done, I know, and I don't always follow my own advice but it's true!!). Definitely make an appointment with a doctor to check up and make sure everything's progressing nicely. congrats, and try to enjoy being pregnant!!!

Ive heard before that tattoos arent a problem in early pregnancy. Stay positive and may an appointment to make sure things are ok. Are you taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid?
