Pregnant after loss of twins...

[Caroline]

I am finally pregnant again! We saw our baby's heart beat on U/S last Friday and everything looks fine but I am just not able to fully take in this joy. I am too afraid of losing this baby. I became pregnant through IVF a year ago after going through two years of infertility. We became pregnant on our first try with twins and thought the world had been handed to us. We lost one baby at 6.5 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (one baby was a "blighted ovum" and the other was a baby girl with trisomy 14). We had seen the heart beat with the 2nd baby so I am having a hard time trusting that this time will be different. Anyway, this was our 4th IVF and we are FINALLY pregnant again with our third baby (I got pregnant naturally with my son and daughter who are now 10 and 8, but I was in my young 20's and then it was EASY!).

I am 6.5 weeks now so hardly out of the clear -- I don't think I will allow myself to get too excited until I make it to that magic 12 weeks. I am SSOOOOOO hopeful that I will make it to delivery this time. I would love to hear some stories of inspiration!

Thanks! -Caroline

Caroline, warm and gentle welcome to you.

This is going to be a difficult time for you. I also had infertility treatements it almost seems cruel to loose your babies after all of that dosn't it :hug

trisomy is usually not genetic within a parent which you probubly already know. Though, that rarely calms our fears :hug Did you name your baby? How are you feeling about the loss of your twins?

I lost one twin very early on and was able to carry the other to term. I was terrified the entire pregnancy.

You're in my thoughts.
