I lost a baby in Febuarary at 12 weeks along. It happened suppenly and had so much blood it make me sick. I ended up in ER and had to have a D&C because it was a parcial miscarriage. I got home that night about 6 hours after and just crawled into bed and just cried myself to sleep. I cried a lot for a long time. It stunk because I had already annouced the pregnancy and when people would say something about the baby I would just break into tears not being able to stop myself. I had people say some really dumb things to me that they didn't know not to say. So I went to counseling for awhile and that helped a lot.
End of April I found out I was pregnant again. We didn't tell anyone till I was 14/15 weeks that I was expecting again. I am now 24 weeks pregnant, but I keep worrying for the thing to go wrong. I had issues with cramping early on, but nothing serious I guess. But everything has come back great. I sometimes think I rushed into this baby, but am so happy to be pregnant, but there is always this worry. Will it ever go away? We just had an ultra sound and the baby is perfect s I should be enjoying everything. I guess it's still rough with the miscarriage because last month on the 15th was the due date. So instead of being pregnant I should have had a baby now. Thanks ladies.

Go ORGANIC . Glyphosate, injected into GM soy and corn and sprayed heavily on soy, works by stripping any living organism of its vital nutrients and kills it. What do we think it does to us when we eat it? To our babies? GM ingredients are now in 70% of our food. Go ORGANIC. My friend did and was pregnant the month after and carried to term. look up "Genetic Roulette" free on youtube

Hi may name is Destiny and I am 16 years old. This is my story...



On October 5 of last year, My boyfriend and I found out i was pregnant. For a few week, we had arguments on what should we do. My boyfriend swear his first child is going to be a boy. And i swear my first child is going to be a girl. The last week of october we made the decision of, if he didn't have an job by the time i was 3-months pregnant (nov- Dec) i was going to get an abortion.

November 13, my boyfriend Muller, was admitted to the hospital on life support. November 16, the doctors pronounced my boyfriend was brain damaged and wasn't responding. He was pronounced dead later on that day. November 18 was the last day, i saw my boyfriend laying on bed 11 on lifesupport, some what alive. That night i felt my baby move.

On December 1, i had an miscarriage. December 2, was my boyfriend's Muller funeral. I broke down in tease i wanted to go with my baby and my boyfriend. i think of them everyday of how my life would be like if they were still here. In Feb i would of been about 5 0r 6 months (Due-date June 18, 2012). i was having a boy. I guess Muller asked God to help my baby hang on a little more longer, to prove to me that that our first child is a boy. I guess he wanted our son to be with him, and asked God to make his wishes happen.

May my baby and my boyfriend muller rest in peace

I know exactly how you feel being pregnant when you should be expecting to give birth. I have been through this so many times its so difficult to comprehend if you have not been there yourself.



Personally I have been pregnant 6 times, and miscarried all 6 during the last 14 months.



All my thoughts and warm wishes are with you, don't worry!

Im sure your pregnancy will be fine!

congrats. i know how you feel. i had 2 miscarriages before i had my daughter. i will never forget seeing a positive reading on the test in the bathroom and breaking down into tears. i didnt want to go through it again. honestly i was a little relieved once i hit 12 weeks but there was always that thought in the back of my mind up until i actually held my daughter in my arms. since then ive had another miscarriage. it was easier to deal with because i have my daughter to keep me occupied but its still a loss. im currently 14weeks pregnant again and so far so good. im just taking every day as it comes. not expecting anything. good luck with everything x0

i had 3 before my daughter was born and the doctors told me i would never have kids. when i went in and told them i was pregnant they said i wouldnt deliver but i did and she is now 4 months old. i worried the whole time and that only made me depressed and made me miss out on enjoying being pregnant, its a hard thing but you need to calm down otherwise you will regret missing out, best of luck :D

bre, im so sorry to hear this. no words can help in what u r going thru. i had a natural miscarriage this past august and we found out i was pregnant again at the end of november. it only took 4 weeks for my period to return and since i didnt have to have a procedure i wasnt given ne restrictions on trying again. we waited about 2 weeks after i stopped bleeding b4 being sexually active again. i was very disappointed when i got my period in september and october, so i sorta gave up after that because the disappointment was just too hard. but then it happened for us the next month. hope this helps. again i am so sorry for ur loss!!!!!!

Im going through a natural miscarriage right now. Just found out yesterday through ultra sound :( this is so hard. I was also 12 wks when I miscarried.
I was wondering how long you waited to get pregnant after your miscarriage? Me and my partner really want this so I know we want to try again. We tried getting pregnant for 5 months finally got pregnant and were so excited and told everyone, now at 12wks Im having a miscarriage. this really stinks!!!

I had a similar miscarriage with my first. With my daughter I started bleeding at 4 1/2 weeks and called my daughter hysterical. I went on Progestin until week 14. Even in the later weeks it was hard. Every kick, every hiccup made me know she was fine.

My daughter is now 13 months and a happy and good little girl.

I would love to say that it wont ever happen again... but I just lost my third and it doesn't get easier.

HI Brittany,

I am also going through a similar situation right now. I lost my baby at 14 weeks, last October. I was supposed to be due on March 15 of 2010. I found out this year that I was pregnant and the due date for this baby is April 6, 2011, mere weeks difference in the time line. I had to pass by the date in October when I lost my last baby, and I cried all day. i don't know if I was ready to be pregnant again, and am constantly worring about this baby. At the moment I am officially 20 weeks, but I have not felt much movement, and so I worry about that alot. I know in my heart that this baby is ok, but for some reason every little twinge, cramp, pain sets my nerves on edge. I have stopped picking up my son ( who is 3) because it was something that I didn't do in my last pregnancy. I have fears that if I do even the slightest thing I am going to harm my baby.

Thank you for posting about this, and it is nice to know that I am not alone.

I first pregnancy ended in miscarriage 10 weeks... two days before my doctors appointment when we would have heard the heartbeat. Little over 3 months later I found out I was pregnant again. Now, after a rough pregnancy, I have a beautiful and brilliant two year old. I worried the whole way through my pregnancy, especially when the Braxton-Hicks contraction started at 24 weeks! Little bub has my tenacity, she was a full week late!

Congratulations on your soon to arrive little bundle of joy! There is nothing more exciting or scary than being pregnant! I am so sorry that you suffered the loss of you previous baby.

I too was 12 weeks along with both of my miscarriages and they both also ended up needing D&C's. Let me just say right here and now what you are feeling is completely NORMAL. You are not going crazy. My pregnancy following my first miscarriage was so stressful. I was always waiting for the bad news to hit. Hitting the milestone of my due date was especially hard. It wasn't until the drs put my little girl in my arms that I was finally able to relax and breathe again.

I wish you didn't have to go through this and the only advice I can give you is take it easy on yourself. I hope you doctor is compassionate and understands your fears, mine was very understanding and allowed me to come in any time just to listen to the heart beat. It helped calm my fears.

The one thing that seemed to help me the most was writing. I'm not a journal person so this was difficult for me but I found that writing letters to the baby I lost very theraputic. I was able to write out my hopes and dreams for that child, I was able to give value and meaning to that life lost. For me it was and is very important that my babies not be forgotten. So I write them letters from time to time, and I have created a flower garden for them, I go there to write.

I don't know if any of this helps you any or not but I just thought more than anything you needed to know that you are okay, your fears are okay, and it is okay to be happy about being pregnant again. You will get through this... the road might be a long one but you will come through it.

Firstly congratulations on being pregnant and expecting a little bundle of love and i am sorry you have suffered a miscarriage.

I feel that you are the only person who knows if you are ready to have a baby after having a miscarraige. And even for me it felt too soon when i did fall pregnant but at the same time it felt so right! I think that may just be natural!

I also found the due dates of my miscarraiges hard and think that is just to be expected. I remember being pregnant with my daughter and thinking at every little twinge, ache or pain that this was it and if i am honest it was only when she was laid on my chest that i thought "everything is ok!" Then the worries of being a mother kick in!

I have not miscarried for some time and have two healthy wonderful children, i do often think of the babies who are not with us and wonder if they would have been anything like my daughter and son, but one thing i have learned - it wasn't my fault and that took a long time to accept i blamed myself all the time.

I thought when i fell pregnant again wiht my son two years after my daughter was born the same fears crept up and i went through it all again! If i ever get the chance to have another child i still feel that i would have the fears of loosing it, you see once you've lost one baby it is only natural to worry about it happening again. But keep positive, you have made it over half way and everything is showing as great so believe it/

Good luck and congratulations agian.
