yoyo pregnancy

Just signed up for Glow. I like how you can log your activity. We're 7 weeks as of yesterday. We started trying back in July of 2015. We got pregnant with our first in February of 2016 and lost him mid way through due to Potter's Syndrome. We were devastated and pretty traumatized over the loss but started trying right away. Nine months later, we are pregnant again. When we first talked to my doctor we were shocked and a bit chilled by the expected due date she gave us. November 5th 2017. Our first baby's due day was November 5th 2016. About 2 weeks after our first HPT with this pregnancy, I started bleeding. It lasted 12 days, they couldn't find a fetal pole, and my HCG numbers were low. My doctor and I were sure I was having a miscarriage. Last week I had an ultra sound to see if all the tissue passed on its own or if I would need a d&c. They found an embryo, a strong heart beat, and a tear in my uterus. They also said that now that they could see and measure the embryo they needed to redate me. They calculated that I was about a week behind the original due date. Now we're due 11/11/2017. I'm still a bit shaken by the miscarriage scare and I'm a bit skeptical about the health of this pregnancy. I am nauseous, tender, and bloated. The bleeding has stopped so I'm just hoping for the best and bracing myself for the next appointment. My doctor says that if nothing unusual happens, I don't have to come back in until 14 weeks if I don't want.
