Hi Ladies, just want to give an update. I went in for my 3rd u/s at 12w3d and saw again my baby with a strong heartbeat, everything is on track. But, why it seems that I can't relax yet after 2 m/cs in a row,the last one was last february. Good thing is, I am almost on my 2nd trim.and no physical problem whatsoever, but still a bit worried.

My pregnancy symptoms (nausea, headache, passing urine more often) are gone and I felt better, my dr.said its normal since I am on my 12 weeks, less symptoms now.

Thanks Amanda. You inspire me. I am following your stories and post and you really give me hope not to give up and TTC after my last m/cs. You will having a boy, right? My first born is also a boy, he is 8 years old now and he really looks like my husband. I am sure Warren, was very happy upon knowing its a boy, it will be his carbon copy.

Hi Ruby,
I made it to the first trimester, thanks God! You and Amanda are right, maybe I can breathe alittle this time, when the dr.congratulated me he said your chances of m/c is only 1% and I was on cloud 9 when he said.

Ruby, how are you now, I guess you are on your 10 weeks, right? I will always pray for you, your always in my thought.

Hugs,
Etts

Congratulations etts, I am very happy for you!! You've made it through the first trimester and that is huge. Also, your symptoms have subsided right on schedule, and I know that at least for me, physically feeling well goes right along with feeling good emotionally. I hope that you will begin to breathe a bit easier and enjoy your 2nd trimester. I agree that the worry is totally normal! You are in good company. Sending you lots of positive energy. :)

Yay!!  Congratulations on being through first trimester and that your little bean is nice and healthy!  

The worry is normal after losses. I remember saying to myself "If I could just see that heartbeat I would relax".  Well, that happened at 6W2D and I still worried.  Then I remember thinking "If I could just make it through first trimester, I would relax and enjoy".  Nope, still worried all the time.  Being able to use my home doppler around 14 weeks really helped alot.  I am now 17 weeks and finally and truly really enjoying this pregnancy. I think it has finally sunk in that my son is really going to make it this time and I will get to hold this baby.  I still get those frightened feelings from time to time but am better able to push them away (again, thanks to listening to his heartbeat on doppler) and really enjoy all the changes in my body and knowing that he is growing.  You'll get there. I think all pregnant women, regardless of having miscarried or not worry a bit during their pregnancies.  For those of us that experienced multiple loss's it's even more so.  But read the stats....after first trimester with a healthy heartbeat, your chance of loss goes down to something like 1%.  Your going to do this, you really are!  Just take it one day at a time and celebrate every day.  Try not to let the fear overwhelm the joy.  I didn't really enjoy a minute of my first trimester and I wish I could have.  It's such a special time.
