i am 6 days late and got a positive preg test today. i am so happy to be pregnant after losing my first about 3 monthes ago. what are the chances that i will go through the pregnancy this time? i am so ready for my first baby it hurts!

thanks for the advise. worrying is probably the last thing i want to do! :)

well as long as your not bleeding and cramping at the same time.  It could very well be your uterus stretching around in there! :)

You sound just like me when i became pregnant this time after my misscarriage.  I was sooo worried and posted and asked the ladies here what were my chances too.  But my misscarriage was back in 2004.  Well i'm now 11 wks and everything seems to be going ok.  It really depends on your body, just b/c you had a mc last time doesn't mean u will this time, just try and take it easy, ask your dr when u go in for the checkup.  Well good luck!

cramping can be normal during pregnancy so long as there is no bleeding. also just b/c you have had one m/c doesn't mean you will have another i got pregnant about 1 1/2 months after my first m/c and gave birth to a beautiful little boy who is now 3 and i am 15 wks pregnant again.

Hey - congratulations on your positive pregnancy test. I just wanted to let you know that I miscarried my first pregnancy at 8 weeks back in Dec 2000 and I fell pregnant again in March 2001 (3 cycles later). I was sooooo nervous, anxious, worried etc. Every feeling was a cause for concern and I can't tell you how many times I went to my dr with trivial matters (well they weren't trivial to me at the time!). Anyway, I went on to successfully carry 3 pregnancies to term and am now pregnant with my fourth (only early like 4.5 weeks). I must say that despite having had 3 successful pregnancies in a row still does not make that feeling like I might miscarry again go away. No matter how many pregnancies I have. I think it taints each one in a way and makes you feel very vulnerable. But the fact is that when it works - it works well and the way it's supposed to! I kept telling myself then I still do with this one, "there's not much I can do about losing the baby if it's going to happen...if it's meant to be it will be!" I wish you many wishes of luck and have faith in your body and in the growing baby within!!! PS: See if you can get an early ultrasound as once the heartbeat is detected there is a 98% decrease in the chances of miscarriage!!!
