Normal pregnancy after failed tubal ligation

Good morning
I am a new subscriber.  I am over 35. I had my tubes tied almost five years ago after the birth of my second child.  Feb 02 I became pregnant and my ob said my tubes grew back together. In March 02 I miscarried.  I am not currently on birth control and have not been since the miscarriage. I am writing to find out if anyone has had this experience and if anyone has had a normal pregnancy after this type of experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had my tubes tied when I was 21 (back in 1997) after the birth of my 2 sons.  Years later in 2006 I decided to have tubal reversal done (go to www.tubal-reversal.net for more info on the doctor who did mine, pricing, etc.).  I had 3 miscarriages following the reversal, and then went on to have a healthy baby boy (now 2 yrs old) and my little princess (now 4 mths old)! Following my c-section with my little girl I had my tubes re-tied.  Now here I am 4 months out, and haved missed my period and am having signs of pregnancy.  I am scared of being pregnant again due to complications/health issues while pregnant, and also due to the fact that I have yet to lose my baby weight, which will only create more health issues.  I guess I shall pick up a test next time I am in town...and just leave it in God's hands, if it is his will so be it!

Tubal ligation does not always work. I have  had mine done over 16 years now and I and my family believe that I am pregoand have had to go by information from books and internet. because the problem is it is not showing up anywhere - not in the  blood work, home test, ultrasounds, but yet 1 doctor stated in a exam that he could not find my uterus cause there was something heavy sitting on it but because all the tests come out negative they think I am crazy! They want as far as taking a syc eval that I passed just fine! I am now at the end of what might be a prego and have no idea if the baby is ok or not! I am fearful yet happy. I am almost 40 and had weight of 130 now I am 172 and its been almost nine months of gaining weight and feeling movement. I have had my what I think of a peroid only 4 times during this 9 months! all the doctores have been mean to me about this issue. I hope people have some advise or prayer for me I have a daughter who is 20 now and my son is 16 now. any advice out there?
