Well friends it isn't confirmed yet but I believe I am prego....YAY! after 2 misscarriages over the past 2 years my heart is very skiddish if ya know what I mean. the last misscarriage happened when i was 14 weeks along and put me in such a heavy depression it ended with me in a mental hospital on suicide watch of 4 days. I'm doing alot better now and my husband and i began trying again. I"m over 10 days late but i'm terrified to take a test. what if its negative...my heart will be so dissapointed...what if its positive...my heart will have fears of what if i loose this baby too. i'm doing my best to trust God through this and I know that if its His will for me to have another child than i will. i'm nervous about keeping up with my weight loss as well though...i gained almost 100lbs with my 1st child because i was put on bedrest at 3 months and then also was pre-eclampic. i'm at 154 right now...i'm scared to gain to much because it took me so long to get it off. please give me any advice you can on what i should do.

    I'll be praying for you. I agree with terrijayne, you should take the test and know for sure. The doctor knowing your past should be able to help you. I had a friend who went though the same thing...I believe it was her third pregnancy she was pregnant with twins. Her boys are 9 years old now and she also had a daughter after having the twins. Lean on the Lord. He is faithful!
  • Just remember, fear doesn't come from the Lord. He has given you a sound mind. Read 2 Timothy 1:7, there are several translations, I normally read the NIV-but the King James' translation of this verse is AWESOME...."For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
    I too, have had a miscarriage....oh, yes it is so easy to be afraid. To think it is going to happen again.. The battle is in our mind. Don't let the enemy place doubt & fear in your mind. A short time after my miscarriage, I conceived. YIPPEE!!! And guess what?? My son is now 19 years old. And loving the Lord with ALL his heart. After my miscarriage, YES, I was devastated Honey, I know exactly how you feel. I will pray for you. You know what? It's bittersweet, but if I had not had that miscarriage, my son would not have been conceived. I cry just thinking about it. I know that we are to TRUST the Lord with ALL our heart, not lean on our own understanding and in all our ways, acknowledge Him and He will make you paths straight. It is SO hard sometimes. To trust God, but He is in control. Eat well, be positive, keep God first in ALL things. take your prenatel vitamins, and keep all of us here at MFP updated. You have such a wonderful support friendship team here. Keep us updated!! God Bless.:smile:

    I have been were you were and it is horrible. No words can describe how my heart aches for you. I feel blessed only my first pregnancy ended that way but we were almost five months along and it was totally unexpected. I do not know why some things happen the way they do but I recommend a lot of prayer. My second pregnancy was a nightmare. I was constantly afraid and I did spot with Logan and that terrified me. I wish I had enjoyed it more instead of being terrrified the entire pregnacy but that is easier said than done. Just know that my prayers are with you and that after being told by a doctor that my first child had a gentic disorder and that I may not be able to have a healthy baby. Here is what I did, first of all I refused all the test because they had just the sightest chance of causing miscarriage and I didnt want to take any chances. I also became very adamant especially early on that they not do internal ultrasounds because I dont care what the doctor's say in my first pregnancy they did that a lot and I just didnt want them poking around in there, I know it's silly but it made me feel better. I prayed a lot and I talked to God and told him that I needed him to help me and give me a healthy baby. I am ashamed to say I actually said "Dear Lord please give me a healthy, happy beautiful baby." LOL I don't know why I said it that way, put the beautiful in there but I did and let me tell you he gave me all three parts of my prayer. As to why the first one ever happened I can not say and I still cry from time to time about the little girl I will never know. But I can tell you this when your baby gets here you will be enveloped with more love that even seems humanly possible. I know I would have loved and appriciate my little boy even without the miscarriage but now because of what I have been though, because I know that life is so precious and such and AWESOME miracle, I do not take one second he breathes for granted. He is now two and every single morning when I hear him upstairs laughing, every night when I put him to bed or rock him to sleep I say "thank you God thank you for another day with my angel!!" I hope this is of some help and you will be in my prayers. And one other thing I wanted to say if I ever thought I was pregnant again I would just not even take a test I would just wait and see what happened and when my belly started to grow and I felt the baby then I would go to the doctor. Insane...absolutley!!! Do I know why I would do this? No But that is what I would do. Doctors make me very sad and scared since my miscarriage and it's very hard to go through a pregnancy without having one but you can do it. I will pray for you every day. Let me know if you need anything. Sorry this is so wordy I just had a lot on my heart for you to hear.
