Ok.. On friday I found that I was pregnant.. Which is completely exciting..

Anyhow I had a miscarriage back in april... When that pregnancy first started. I had some cramping.. Almost as if I were to expect my period and that once in a while I had to push.. Anyhow I didnt miscarry till 2 months into it..

Now with this pregnancy I get those same feelings. The same discomfort.. This doesnt automatically mean im going to have the same problem (miscarriage)..
I know it sounds completely stupid but I dunno it seem similar..

Anyone been here; anyone have any ideas..

Im waiting for the navy doc's to call since well they call us to make an appointment. Totally dumb.. But anyhow they claim they wont see me till im 8 weeks that will put me on the same page..

Again and ideas!
Thanks

Most places won't see you until you're about 8 weeks along. They might have you come in earlier just to confirm your pregnancy but I don't think you'd have an actual exam. I don't think there's much to see before then (at least that's what my doctor's office told me). Just start taking your folic acid and prenatals as soon as you can. And af-like cramps in the beginning are completely normal. I'm 19 weeks and I still get them occasionally. If you have any concerns you can always call your doctor and talk to a nurse. I had a miscarriage too (as did many others on this forum) so I know how nerve-wracking it can be to be pregnant again. Good luck! I'm sure you're in a for a happy and healthy 9 months!

I had problems with my last pregnancy and when I told the nurse this she booked me right away for a visit. I was only about 5.5 weeks along when I first saw them.....I am sure if you are really worried about it they will see you right away......If they see needed.
