terrified

this is my second pregnancy. i had a missed missed miscarriage in july. I found out at 12 weeks that my baby had died a t 8 weeks and I hadn't even realised. No bleeding and no pain. i had a dnc and as I said I'm now supposedly ten weeks pregnant. i say supposedly because really I have no way of knowing if things are OK. I have practically no symptoms either just like the first time. Had a scan at 51/2 weeks and things looked ok then and I have to wit another week for the decisive scan. Although I'd love to be a mum I think inanother life I'd choose to be a man. the waiting sucks.

Just found out

It has been 3 hours since my first pregnancy test. I took 3 more since then (different brands) and all, right away, said I was pregnant. I am in shock...I cannot describe it. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. He has a 9 year old son from a previous relationship. Lately we had decided to go our separate ways, and were planning to get our own places. We've been getting along very well, better than ever. Now, I find out I am pregnant. I told him, but it was right before he was heading to his second job. HE was in shock too and has called me from work to say he was sorry he went to work. I just don't know what to think. I called my mom and told her but swore her to secrecy because I know a woman who just miscarried and I don't want to reveal I am pregnant too soon. As morose as I may sound, I am quite happy that I am able to get pregnant! I didn't think I would be. So it's a multitude of feelings I am experiencing...shock, awe, fear, guilt, sadness, happiness, relief, dismay. Up until today I thought I would get my own place, finish school (I graduate from college this Spring) and then perhaps teach abroad. Obviously God has a different plan?!

Scared as well

I recently had a miscarriage in July. I was 8 weeks at the time, but I just found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant again. I am currently 9 weeks. This one was also not planned and it happened sooner then I had anticipated but such is life and I can't help but feel blessed. I am also terrified this time around. My miscariage was the hardest thing I had ever been through. It's hard losing something so precious. I'm scared that something may go wrong. I have only told my immediate family that i'm pregnant once again, but I figure i'll wait until at least 12 weeks to tell everyone else which seems like an eternity, but I also don't want to have to go through the sadness of telling everyone if something were to go wrong. I have a beautiful healthy daughter who is 11 months old and I am so thankful for her. She helped me through the disappointment and she'll never even know it. I'm too nervous to be excited right now but i'm hoping with every week that I continue, my fear will subside and I can start celebrating!!

Finally pregnant,yet very nervous

After 4+ years of trying to get pregnant and going through a series of tests before attempting in-vitro, I find out I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant (the natural way). The only reason I found out I was pregnant was due to spotting and painful cramping, after being a week late. I could not believe the test was positive.. I went to the fertility clinic concerned with the painful cramping and spotting and they did an ultrasound and confirmed my pregnancy, however, they were concerned withthe painful cramping and spotting and gave me progesterone suppositories. It has been a week since this happen and I have been spotting here and there. with the cramping still occuring. I am very scared that I will have a miscarriage, yet I heard it is normal for some women to have these symptoms. Has anyone experienced this?
