I had a dream that I would have a baby due near Mother's Day. Well, after this weekend's BFP I do!!!

FF says EDD is 5/4 (mother's day is 5/7).

H and I are very excited but scared at the same time. I'm going to try to take it day by day. We probably won't tell anyone IRL until we have confirmation that this pregnancy is going well. If anyone has anything that helped them survive pregnancy after loss, please tell me!

:::deep breath::: : )

Yay yay yay!!!! I'm so happy for you! Sending many thoughts and prayers that everything goes well

The best thing I found being pregnant after a loss was to take things day by day, and try and remind yourself that each day you are pregnant is one day closer to your goal of a healthy baby! I know its scary but I remember on the PgAL board the mantra was "today I'm pregnant" and i reminded myself of that often.

Sticky dust headed your way (Actually I always thought that was kind of a gross sentiment but whatever works!). I'm so thrilled for you girl. You got this. I totally think there is something to dreams, especially the ones that stick with you.

[lkamenko]

Congratulations! Very happy for you.

[jodielyn10]

Wonderful news!! Congrats!

[cbear]

Congrats!!!!!!! Yes, just stick to the "today I am pregnant" mantra! I also was able to get into my OB to test my levels early to ensure they were rising and also was able to get an early ultrasound. It really helped to ease my panicked mind, especially in those early days!

[trixi282]

Oh wow, congratulations!!   That's crazy, I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly and is a healthy one for you and baby!

[jfresh]

So exciting! Congrats! 

[sarahandeddie]

Congratulations! I was a nervous wreck with both pregnancies. My high risk status meant I had lots of ultrasounds and that was reassuring. I also had my own Doppler and used it daily starting around 6 weeks until I felt regular movement.

[lainikins]

Congrats! I am so happy for you.

[tribute17]

Yay! Congrats! I'll just warn you that some of those early tests can make it worse. My levels weren't doubling and they couldn't find a heartbeat but it was just too early. I think it made it worse. Just keep in mind that some of those early results can be off and doesn't mean it's a bad pregnancy. One day at a time.

[babywinks]

Congratulations! No advice, but lots of thoughts and prayers for a happy and healthy 9 months!

[USCgirl]

starfishy, Yay!!!! I am super excited to hear this news and will keep you in my T&Ps that everything works out well. I truly believe in fate and everything happens for a reason. It's nice to know that dreams do come true!!

[starfishy]

Thanks ladies!! I haven't even called the doctor yet bc I don't think they'll see me until 8 weeks. So I kind of have to wait until then and maybe they'll take pity on me and give me an early ultrasound. I hope so.

I appreciate all your kind words and support. : )

[mrsrek10]

After the long Monday I had, I came here hoping to take my mind off the stress....and this post definitely did that!!!!

Congratulations!!! I'm sooo happy for you!! What a great Mother's Day present.

[MissMusic]
