Prayers and good wishes would be

deborah · **Prayers and good wishes would be**

appreciated. I am sitting here shaking. I am excited and terrified at the same time. I just took a HPT and got a POSITIVE!!!
I lost my first baby to a miscarraige. Had my son Alex just over a year later. In March of this year I lost my second baby at just shy of 22 weeks.

I am so so scared right now. I keep thinking something will go wrong.
My dh is away until the end of November. I won't tell him until he gets back. I'm sure he'll be just as worried as I am and he doesn't need that stress at this time.

I am assuming you ment you lost the baby at 22 weeks. Did the doctors know what happened to make you lose the baby? Call your doctor so they can monitor you right from the beginning.

You will have alot of prayers and support from this board. Come here when you need us.

I was in a similar situation, except my miscarriages weren't quite as late as 22 wks. It made me so frightened, especially with my last pregnancy. Like you, I had another miscarriage after I had my first child. Then when I was pregnant again, I was so frightened, it prevented me from enjoying those early months. I even bled clots one day and acted lackadaisically, detached (but was very depressed) when I told dh I had miscarried. I called my doctor to cancel my appt. but they still wanted me to come in, even though they said it was my decision, since I already knew the signs. After the doctor gently suggested she check for a heartbeat and my turning her down, then changed my mind, imagine my surprise and tears (mine and the doctor's) when we heard a strong-sounding heartbeat! That heartbeat is now going strongly inside my two year old diva, outside right now learning volleyball with her daddy.

Miracles can happen. Some things are out of our hands. I know it's hard, but try as much as you can to have faith and enjoy the pregnancy...except for the morning sickness and aches and pains. Best wishes and prayers for you...

I know that being pregnant after a miscarriage and the loss of a baby at 22 weeks is terrifying, exciting and filled with lots of mixed feelings. It is a huge leap of faith to try again. I will keep you in my prayers as you carry and prepare for this new baby and pray that your other two little ones will be watching over all of you.

Know that I am here if you need to talk about all the feelings that come with a subsequent pregnancy after a loss.

Gentle hugs,
