Hi Ladies! I’m 14 weeks today, feeling more optimistic everyday. The next few week will still be difficult for me... we had our first loss in March of 2015. I was 16+1 and during intercourse my water broke and I went in to labor and delivered our beautiful son later that day. I was a first time mom and had no idea the guy wrenching back pain I had suffered days before were signs that something was seriously wrong. It took me a very long time to want to try again after that. We decided to try in January of this year and got our BFP on January 12, 2017 we were excited but honestly I was more scared than anything. I made an appointment right away because I wasn’t positive on how far along I was and we had 3 ultrasounds trying to confirm viability and after the 3rd we found that the baby had no heartbeat and that I was miscarrying. Soon after that a good friended mine suffered a loss at 35 weeks and I again had a hard time wanting to try again. But I prayed hard and cried harder and I realized that I needed to give it to God and trust what he had planned for us. We got our third positive in July. So far everything has checked out well. I started bleeding about 6 weeks in but it was all brown old blood and baby continues to grow and has a strong heartbeat. We are 14 weeks today. I am anxious to get past the furthest point we’ve been, only a few weeks away. We’ve announced to close friends and family but we plan to let the masses of Facebook know around Thanksgiving (20 weeks).

Thank you for letting me share my story and I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you.
