a Little Comfort Please.... Posted: 12-29-05 13:20pm
Hello. I am new here. About 3 months
ago, I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks
pregnany. I got a d&c and got
everything removed that was not to be
there. Well I found out 3 days ago that I
am once again pregnant. I am very very
happy but I am also very scared. I feel
like at any minute I could lose it again
and that everything could go wrong. I
can't help these feelings. I am wondering
if anyone had any advice for me concerning
this issue. Anything would be helpful.

I too have had a miscarriage and my doctor
told me b/c I was stressed out. I think I
might be pregnant again and it scares me
that I might have another. I try not to
think about it. Just think about how to
take care of yourself and get plenty of
rest. Do some light exercising like
walking or yoga, this will help relax you.
Good luck and let me know.

Please do not obsorb yourself with that.
It will keep you in a state of stress.
Just rejoice in the fact that you are
indeed expecting again, and obsorb
yourself in preparing for it. Good luck

ps. I know it is easier said than done.
I have had my share of miscarriages also,
but even while bleeding and in the
hospital, I was fighting the thoughts that
"i would loose" I continually had hope
for the baby's and dreamed of the future
with them. And every time I would
conceive again, same thing "new hope" for
a bright future.

Please know that unless you have some
medical condition with your reproductive
system that prevents you from carrying a
pregnancy to full term, many women who
have miscarriages go on to have normal
healthy pregnancies. It is best to try
and not worry about all the "what ifs"
unless something happens to give yuo cause
to worry, such as spotting.
Since you had a recent miscarriage,
contact your doctor immediately with any
major cramping, spotting, or combination
of the two. It is also important to take
prenatal vitamins. My husband bought mine
from walgreen's. They are the walgreen
brand and have all the essential vitamins
such as folic acid, calcium, the b
vitamins, and iron, to name a few. Just
take care of yourself, and your growing
baby. Eat right, get plenty of rest when
you can, and maybe do some light walking
for exercise. Avoid anything strenuous,
such as heavy lifting, gym workouts, etc.
Good luck!

congrats!
I know that this will be very hard, but
try really hard not to think this
pregnancy may turn out the same way.
I lost my baby mid june, and I understand
the feeling....... But if you stress it
could only do harm!
Embrace this pregnancy as a new
start...... Best of luck!!!

The same thing just happened to my sister.
She had a miscarriage at 8 weeks, had a
d&c, and just told me today that she's
pg again! She is trying not to think
about her last miscarriage, but just
trying to go forward & hoping for the
best during this pregnancy! Most women
don't have multiple miscarriages...I wish
you all the best sweetie!

Each pregnancy is unique dear, it doesnt
mean that you had previous miscarriage its
gonna happen again. You have to have a
positive outlook in this pregnancy and try
to be calm and get loads of rest. I lost
mine last year at 8 weeks and now i'm on
my 24th week=) and lookin forward to see
my lil man=)
thats why I understand how you feel, I
also had fears during the first trimester
but I know it wont do my lil any good so I
started keeping myself more occupied
attending yoga classes, joining forums as
support groups (it helps coz you learn a
lot of infos), and spent more time with my
hubby and lil girl.
Best of luck=)
