Hi, My name is Danielle and I just found out that I am expecting again after a recent miscarriage this past September 2007.  I am so nervous about this pregnancy and that it will end in the same result.  I have a son who is now 4 years old and had the perfect pregnancy with him.  Although I was young then (22), I don't remember having many pregnancy symptoms with him besides a few headaches here and there.  With the past miscarriage I had breast tenderness bad, morning sickness, fatigue, etc.  It wasn't until I started some cramping w/o bleeding at 10 weeks that I went in for a ultrasound and they found a sac but no baby (blight ovum) measuring around 7 weeks.  Now, I am 5 weeks pregnant into this pregnancy and am so nervous.  I don't have any severe symptoms of being pregnant.  I have missed my period, tested positive to being pregnant, slight breast tenderness, fatigue, using the restroom more often, and slight cramping and backache, however I don't really feel pregnant.  I guess I'm just paranoid, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  I try to stay positive but the fear is always in the back of my mind.  I have a dr. appointment next Friday (6.5 WEEKS) where they will do a vaginal ultrasound.  Praying to see my little peanuts heartbeat.  If you have any positive thoughts, please send them my way.  Good luck to all of you!

I hope all went well at your appointment! Please update us!

I can't say I have been through the same exact thing but less then a year ago I had a still born and once again i am pregnant.  I am scared out of my mind that I am going to loose this baby too, I have talked to other women that have lost children and still have had another baby that was healthy.  The worry doesn't go away I am only in my 13th week, but what I have been told until you hold that baby for the first time you will worry about every little thing.  When you hear the heartbeat the first time some of the anxiety goes away but if your dr. knows what happened before your dr. should have you under somewhat of a high risk pregnancy.  This means they are going to keep you under better observation.  You will be fine even though it will feel like you are going to jump out of your skin.  Hang in there!!!
