Healthy Pregnancy after Missed Miscarriage

[Asking4aMiracle]

So I don't know if any one will recognize my name but I have been on this site for many years. Just haven't been on recently. If you read my story, you can see getting pregnant has been anything but easy.

I am here looking for hope. Out of the 8 years my husband and I have been married, we have been trying to get pregnant for 5 1/2 years. After losing our first baby boy (and his twin) my son was born and is now 4 years old. A month before his first birthday (August 2010) was when we first started trying again. Last August I found out I was expecting. I also found out at 10 weeks, the baby passed away at 8 weeks. I was rushed to the ER on October 15th due to what we thought was hemorrhaging. Thankfully I was not but I was miscarrying the baby and basically did so in a total of a few hours instead of weeks. I just found out 4 weeks ago, I am pregnant again. My last period was June 21st, with an average of 45 day cycle. I should have been about 10 weeks 2 weeks ago. My insurance has not kicked in yet and I couldn't get in to see my dr for 2 weeks so I went to a 3d4d place just to get a gestation and hopefully see a heartbeat. I was only measuring around 5 weeks. It is very possible that I am still very early. Hell anything is possible. However, I was having symptoms for like 3 weeks before that day. I tend to trick my body into having symptoms even when I am not pregnant so it is, again, possible, they were in my head OR not going on as long as I seem to think....

ANYWAY, long story short, I go in on Friday for a follow up to see if I am now measuring 7+ weeks. I am so scared that I am not. I need hopeful stories. I need positive out comes. Help me not go insane. I am not fully obsessed. If I lose this baby, I am ok with that because it will be God's will but I would really prefer not to. I just need help from others who understand. Thanks for reading my mess =/

Congratulations,  GB! I'm new here and trying to get pregnant.  I have children
But we are looking to have another.  I'm confused using the calendar.  My last period was 9/3 I believe my ovulation time was the week of the 16
I had relations 3 days on that week but I have symptoms today of my period coming soon.

Well I went to the appointment on Friday and though it took her a few minutes,  we seen something flickering. I thought I was seeing things but she kept trying so I asked, is something there? Flickering? She said yes, there is something. She tried more and more and finally got the back of the baby. It is facing my back. We seen the heart beating strong. We heard it on the machine, it was 140. I'm very much relieved. I go to my Dr for my first prenatal visit on Monday. Thank you for replying!! I use to be so involved on this site and had such a strong group of friends but most everyone has moved over to facebook and I haven't announced that baby on there yet.

I had a miscarriage at 21 and a missed miscarriage at 25. A year later I was pregnant again and I didn't know how far along I was because of my irregular period. I started spotting and went to the er. The doctor told me they couldn't find a fetal pole. I had a cyst on my right ovary and that I was miscarrying. He wanted me to have a d&c done but I refused because my body was able to pass my last 2 on it's own. I went home saddened by the awful news but I remembered that God told me that I was pregnant that there would be complications but not to worry. So I put myself on bed rest and made an appointment to see an obgyn. I stopped spotting after a day of rest. A week or 2 later I went to the obgyn and they took my blood and a few days later they called back with the greatest news. My hcg levels had risen from 8000 to 64972. So I was definitely still pregnant. Well at what we thought was my 13 or 14 week check up I did the quad screen and it came back that I had a high risk chance of having a baby with Downs which honestly I will accept any blessing because it is my child. Anyhow, I was sent to an ultrasound at 19 weeks. Well we all discovered that I was only 16 weeks pregnant so that's why the quad screen came back that way. The doctors were wrong about the gestation age of my baby. BTW he is a happy healthy 22 months old and Thank God for giving me the will to say no to the doctor that wanted to do the d&c. I wouldn't have my boy. I'm now pregnant with my second boy I'm 23 weeks pregnant and so far things have gone great.

Don't worry just wait and see what happens. Stress isn't good. Just rest take it easy and see what happens in the next few weeks.
