5 weeks pregnant and counting...

[mamaMAMAma]

I just took the EPT and found out I'm pregnant (5 weeks). I'm excited and worried at the same time. I lost my last pregnancy 2 months ago at 7 weeks. I keep thinking blighted ovum the last 2 days for some reason. With my mc, the ultrasound showed nothing but a thick layer of uterine lining.

I don't really "feel" pregnant with this pregnancy yet. My nipples are a bit sensitive and my mouth feels a little blah in the morning. With the mc, my nipples were killing me when dd nursed and I was very sensitive to smells (can't change dd's poopy diapers without wanting to puke). With dd, I've had no pregnancy symptoms at all (except the bulging belly), so I'm hoping this is a good sign (no/mild symptoms). My mantra is to enjoy every day I'm pregnant and love this little being inside me. Easier said than done, but this is what I'm going to shoot for.

wishing the best for you this time :hug

with ds3 I had no preg symptoms till nearly 8 weeks and felt fairly weird as all my others gave me nausea etc from very early on - but here he is safe and sound now nearly 6 weeks old

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm nervous about it, but also trying to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible. In my dream last night, I saw blood in the bathroom. Luckily, it was only a dream. I try not to read too much into it. I'm feeling a little nauseas in the morning and through out the day and I welcome it. With my mc, all preggo symptoms went away by 5-6 weeks.

You're in my thoughts :hug If you get a moment look up the the original pregnancy after loss thread in this forum. Emmaline and OM discussed the emotions your experiencing now. You may gain a lot from their words.

This is a hard time. I remember looking at the TP when I went to the bathroom expecting to see red. We feel our bodies have let us down and that we have no control.

This will be a difficult time for you. Please know many of us have felt it as well and we're here to listen.

I understand your fear! I didn't feel better till I saw that little hb screen.

The fear eventually goes away....then it comes back...and goes away...and comes back...and.....you get the picture :D

I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant now. Still nervous about the pregnancy and really trying to enjoy it as well. Yes, i still check the tp everytime. I'm going in for my first prenatal with the nurse on Tuesday. Its a strange feeling, I both look forward and dread the experience. I lost Renunculus the day of the first prenatal last time (started bleeding that very morning). Physically, I feel pregnant (unlike last time), so I'm trying my best to stay positive.

I didn't feel that pg with the babe we lost either. this time I def did!! I still have spotting brown with this babe and even one bleeding episode but baby is hanging in there!!

I'm glad yoau re feeling better about it all....it is amazing how stressful being pg can be!

I'm more "active" here now on this board....needed a break!!! I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way!! I can't wait to be pregnant again...just want the baby to stick around next time!!! I have a good feeling for you!!!

[mamaMAMAma]

Thank you Abylite for the positive thoughts. I went in for my dr. appt yesterday, and baby is at 9 weeks 2 days and looking fine. I was relieved. After the miscarriage, its like I've lost some sort of innocence. I'm trying hard to trust my body that it would do whats right. I keep telling myself with the miscarriage, thats what my body needed to do and that it hadn't failed me. Good luck Abylite on ttc. I read your other post. I know its scary to start again after your losses, but try and stay positive. And lots of :dust :dust :dust to you.

How are you feeling??? I'm happy that you saw a little HB!!

I can't wait to see that again soon...I'm very nervous, but like you have to trust that it's what my body needed to do...maybe it was a contract with the baby's soul to come in and out for a short time each time. I'd love to be pregnant....maybe as we speak. I'm in the 2ww!!!

Feel free to talk anytime!!
