Here we go....

[Suzann Sayre]

Well I have now known for 5 whole days that I am pregnant again...and can I just say this is so hard already!!! Shoot, I haven't even been to the doctor yet, and my anxiety is through the roof!! (the appt is tomorrow)

Please tell me why when I tell people that I am pregnant they feel the need to share their miscarriage stories??? Most people know my history (2 years ago - stillborn at 25 1/2 weeks) and I tell them I am pregnant and they feel the need to tell me their sad story. I've had my sad story...I'm ready for a happy one.

Anyway, I was reading through some of these posts, and it makes me cry b/c I feel relieved. People like me, who have been here and done this, and they are doing ok, as are their babies. So I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted in here with their happy news, b/c this is honestly the best/most positive I have felt since the reality of this pregnancy had set in.

Hoping for the best.

Suzann,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'll be praying for the best for you and your new little baby growing within you. I hope in 9 months you'll be holding a happy, healthy, beautiful baby just like I was able to do after loosing our stillborn daughter. All the emotions you are feeling are completely normal(trust me) after experiencing a loss of a child. Don't be hard on yourself. Take care of yourself so your baby can have the best life ever!!!

Love,

Brooke-Mommy to Carter, Ethan, Caden, &

Congratulations on the pregnancy!!! You and your new one will be perfectly fine. Just don't get too stressed over it even though I know thats easier said than done. I will probably be the same way if I am lucky enough to get pregnant again.

[Tricia Hackney]

Congratulations!!!!!!
We're all here for you, feel free to let it all out when you need to. Many prayers will be said for the health of you and your precious baby!

That is wonderful news, congratulations!!! That is weird how people want to share the sad, especially the ones that know your past. It is okay to tell others you are trying to keep a positive outlook and would rather not know of anything not on that positive path! I know, easy for me to say that but if they know you I bet they will understand.
You and your new baby will be in my prayers.

[Suzann Sayre]

Thanks so much for all of your positive words!! Just so you know, I'm crying again!! ;)

Thanks again, all of your well wishes really do go a long way.

Suzann, what wonderful news! Sending you prayers & Hugs.

[KEA's Mom]

Congratulations Suzann. That's so wonderful!!

That is great news! I'll be thinking of you and praying for you! It's a rought road but try not to be stressed about it! Let the doctors do their work and evaluate you and if they say things look good then try to believe that! I know it's easier said then done. I'm about 3 1/2 weeks away from having Mason and it's been hard but were almost there.

Suzann,
First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy. As Linda said it is a rough road, but I think losing a child makes all those kicks/bouts of morning/all day sickness seem insignificant and even desirable! We lost our first then went on to have 2 healthy boys-the first born only 11 months after Isabelle died. Let your doctors know (if they don't already) that you may need a little more hand holding and monitoring for your emotional well being. I know I could call my doctor's office with anything, but that isn't always the case. If you don't feel like you can call with even the silliest of worries, find someplace you can do that. I would also recommend a book to read. I think it is called "Pregnancy after a loss". It's a greenish book. I think it had some good practical tips, plus it wasn't too preachy or freak you out like some books can be! Know we will all be thinking of you and praying for you and the health of your baby. Please keep us updated and feel free to contact any of us via PM or email if you need to talk or vent or whatever

It is pregnancy after a Loss by Carol Cirulli Lanham
Kathy, I have it out to bring to you tonight actually!

[Suzann Sayre]

Thanks for the book recommendation. I will have to look for it.

My 1st Doctors appointment is today, and I am pretty scared! But I will get through it!

Thanks again for all your well wishes! :)

[motherofthree]

Suzann, What an emotional time for yous - so much happiness and fear mixed together! I think it's terribly thoughtless of people to share their tragic stories with someone newly pregnant - it's almost like people go out of their way to tell you all the horrible birth stories they've ever heard. Don't be afraid to stop them and tell them that you are trying to thing positive pregnancy thoughts!

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations. You, your family and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Lindzy Foster]

Congrats on your pregnancy! it is def. an emotional roller coaster after a loss but with love and support which you can get from all of us here too you can make it thru this.....im currently 26 wks preg and here anytime you need to talk!

[Lyssa Sauer]

CONGRADULATIONS! There is a chance for a happy ending at the end of your story honey! I know the worries of having another baby after loosing one. You will have good and bad days with this pregnancy trust me, you will worry till you are holding baby safe and sound in your arms. To here the first cry and to hold them clothes and look into their eyes. I will pray for the same happy ending to your story as I was blessed with. A healthy full term beautiful child to hold and love, although we miss our angels and trust me you will probably miss your angel even more after you have this one ut you will find some light to your life that has been so dim for so long. THoughs and prayers honey
