Happy?

Question

Does anyone else have trouble being happy about being pregnant? I'm worried about having a miscarriage and I feel like I can't let myself be too excited because I don't want to be devastated if something happens...

Answer

I am like this too. I was pregnant back in January and told my husband I didn't want to start doing cartwheels and getting baby stuff until 2nd. Well, I ended up miscarrying at 11 weeks so I'm kind of glad I went with that mentality. Pregnant again at 5.5 weeks and am going to take the same mentality.

Unfortunately it happens. One in every 4 women. However, some things that made me feel better, learning some of it before my miscarriage: you got pregnant so at least you know that can happen and will happen again (And it did for me! Right away); if it does end up happening, the chances you will have 2 in a row is like 1-2%; and if you miscarry it means something was wrong and your body needed to get rid of it and it was not a normal baby, he or she is in a better place than it ever would have been.

Best of luck. I hope we all have happy healthy babies come March 2018!

Answer

Me. 🙋🏻
I haven't told my husband yet and found out Wednesday night. 
I'll be telling him tonight though... I just keep testing  to make sure it's real.

Answer

Same. I had a chemical back in Jan so I am just holding my breath. My beta levels haven't been that great. 22 and then 109. Did another one today. I got a positive ovulation test on June 16. So I am confused on how far along I am. And those numbers seem so low.

Answer

I decided that we're not going to spill the beans to everyone until 2nd trimester. Anything could happen. 
While we were not planning on trying for children until we finish purchasing a house, and a few other things- we're still excited. If something does happen, then we at least know we're fertile and I have faith we can get through tough stuff together. We've been through worse. 
You're a strong person. Don't let negativity get the best of you, and just take it one day at a time! ❤️😀

Answer

Yup! Currently 5 weeks. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks about 5 years ago. Terrified of it happening again 😞

Answer

My first pregnancy resulted in a stillborn little girl. I've just found out I'm pregnant again and although I'm petrified I feel like I want to try to enjoy every moment so I don't regret anything xx
