Be positive and remind yourself that every pregnancy is different and that every baby is unique and special.

Recognize that this pregnancy may be difficult mentally and emotionally, as well as physically taxing, and that the hardest point to get past will be the point of your previous loss.

Get the reassurance you need from your health care providers and be open about your concerns and fears.

Just marking my spot and hoping to join you ladies again soon!

Even though I don't reply, I read along to keep updated on everyone!

saluki_fan · 03-31-2008, 01:23 PM

Marking my spot.

Gina - I can't wait to SEE your pictures! And, to continue from the last thread, I'm happy for you too. (Except for the cleaning part...that doesn't sound like fun. But it's all for a good reason!)

Mom2Amy - great pictures! You have a beautiful family.

Texanna · 03-31-2008, 01:34 PM

Hi Ladies,

Just marking my spot. I have doctor appt this afternoon, for a blood pressure check. I have been tracking my blood pressure for the past 2 weeks since starting medication, and I haven't had one about 134/88. Today, I checked it and it was 106/70. So the meds are working. I hope that I don't get all anxious like I always do, and have a high reading again. I just wish I could get past 24 weeks or so, and get to the part viabiltiy. Does anybody else feel that way?

Anna

I did throughout both of my successful pregnancies. It's so nerve-wracking! Hang in there.

hela · 03-31-2008, 05:23 PM

I feel very strange at the moment, for the last 5 months I've been concentrating on trying to get pregnant again, and now I have I feel really lost and scared and wondering if I've done the right thing.

Physically I feel good, achy boobs and a bit crampy but no m/s (yet) but it reminds me so much of my babies as I had exactly the same symptoms with them. I thought this time I'd feel different somehow, but I feel like I'm in a bubble bouncing over the top of life while it goes on without me.

hmm don't know what else i was going to say now, but I just needed to say how I was feeling and don't know where to go from here

nourania · 04-01-2008, 11:39 PM

just wanna say I am rooting for you all!
