My first child was full term and healthy, but my second child was born at 24 weeks after a very rough pregnancy...

Now I’m 9w3d pregnant. I have light spotting and some cramping and I’m terrified to lose my baby. I’m 35 and this is the last child my body will carry. If I lose my baby, I won’t get another chance, as my husband doesn’t want to go through it again, especially if we lose the baby.

I know I’m just extra sensitive because of my last pregnancy but I am absolutely, beside myself terrified here. I know I’m still suffering from PTSD from spending a year in the hospital with my last son, but I don’t think it’s wrong that I just want to carry my child to full term and love them forever. I just want a healthy baby, which so many people take for granted.

I guess I just need to know I’m not alone and that it’s gonna be okay. I need some peace-of-

mind.
