The word congratulations doesn't even come close to how I feel and what I would want to express to you and yours. Jeanne is right. You will be lavished with all the hopes, good thoughts, blessings, best wishes and love we can muster.

All the best --

Paula -- mom to Roley Julia, January '02

Yes, I'm expecting. :)

We are very happy, but at the same time very scared. I'm 12 weeks and so far things look good, but its hard to really "trust" it right now.

My due date is November 23, but we're planning an early delivery probably in the first week of November.

Oh, Beth! I'm sitting here just about crying too! This is such good news. I can't imagine how excited and terrified you must be at the same time. I had wondered if you would be (physically) able to be pregnant again but of course wouldn't have asked. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and send lots of positive vibes your way. Have you told Sarah yet, or are you waiting?

05-15-2006, 09:27 AM
Beth, I am so thrilled for you and have been keeping you and that little one in my prayers. It is SO good to have you back here! I'm looking forward to both of us having November babies.

Beth, that is fabulous news! I can completely understand your fear. It was very hard for me to relax at all when I was pregnant with Logan. I know that you don't really know me, but please feel free to email me if you want to talk at all about the stresses of a subsequent pregnancy. Have you made your way over to Share? They have a great Pregnancy after a Loss support board there.

You will be continually in my thoughts and prayers!

Congratulations! I know it has to be very scary.

It was very difficult for me to enjoy my pregnancy after adoption losses and that was *just* adoption losses. But the one thing I do regret is that I was not able to enjoy my pregnancy more (although that is the kind of person I am). Someone told me that no one could take away how happy I was feeling at a particular moment, no matter what happened. And that's true.

I hope you are able to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible. And wishing you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy few months and years!

Well, thanks all! You sure know how to make a girl feel good. :)

To answer a few questions:

No, we haven't told Sarah yet, and I'm not sure when we will. With Leah, we waited until the Level 2 ultrasound, and we may do that again. Honestly, I'm not looking forward to telling her and the 1001 questions that will ensue. But it is definitely harder keeping a pregnancy a secret from an almost 5 year old than it was from a 3 year old.

The pregnancy has been a bit rocky too. I had horrible morning sickness, by far the worst I've ever had with a pregnancy, and it really made me feel wretched. I had a heavy spotting episode at 7 weeks followed by a VERY heavy bleeding episode at 9 weeks. The OB thinks it was a small subchorionic bleed and that it will resolve, but it was really, really scary. I was positive I had lost the baby and was astounded to see the heartbeat the next morning on the ultrasound.

I have a nuchal translucency scan tomorrow and thats making me a little nervous too. Being older I have a few more fears this time than before. I really want to avoid an amnio so I'm hoping the NT scan goes well.

We decided this time to deliver at the hospital closest to my home which has a state of the art Level 3 NICU (since we are planning an early delivery) and that meant I had to find a new OB, and that was a little stressful.

So, all in all, its been a rough first 12 weeks. And then after the second trimester, we have to be concerned about the very real possibility of re-rupture, although as long as we deliver before 38 weeks, they aren't terribly concerned.

How did the NT go today, Beth? I've got my money on all is well :)

Going through all that drama in the first 12 weeks had to be nerve-wracking. I'm glad that's mostly over, and am hoping and praying you get one of those amazing 2nd tris when nothing interesting happens at all. You deserve it.

Big hugs still coming your way :)

Oh Beth, that is incredible, incredible news! I'm am so happy for you. Considering what happened with me during the birth of Cameron, I was very concerned that you would no longer be able to have children and many times wanted to email you that I was there, if you needed. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that you are expecting again. Congratulations! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is smooth sailing.
