hospital misread my pregnancy test

I am now 20 weeks pregnant. I found out I was pregnant in Sept 06, soon after I had strong pains and some bleeding so I went to the hospital. I didn’t know how far the pregnancy was so they only asked me to give urine. Then they said I miscarried. Since then I have had a pretty normal life.

Later in December I started feeling sick so I went to the Dr and she ordered a pregnancy test, which of course, came out positive. We thought I must be around 8-10weeks. We had to decide for a TOP so I got everything sorted for that even if it wasn’t my personal decision. Before the TOP I needed a scan, blood tests and urine tests. Everything went fine till the scan came out that I was 16w+1d.

We decided to keep the baby and since then we are really excited. I had another scan done and it seems the baby is fine but now I am waiting for my blood tests. I am a bit upset as St Mary’s hospital in Portsmouth will not say the sex of the baby so I have to wait another two weeks to see if I will get that done privately or not

Well that is my story for now.

Have a great day all.

my lil girl

Well, I have gotten over the morning sickness. I'm about 21 weeks right now. I’m due on May 19.

I can feel the baby move inside me. I can’t feel her kick yet but I can feel the turning inside. I’m getting really excited now. I can’t wait till she comes out. I just get really tired; throughout the days I have to nap. I have a lot of sores all around my body I can feel.

So Excited!

I just want to thank all of you for your stories and wish you the very best of luck with your pregnancies and deliveries.

My husband and I are 20 weeks pregnant today! I have also had some struggles. We had tried to get pregnant for almost two years with no success so without having gone to the doctor I already figured something was wrong with us.

Having recently graduated from college and being busy with a new career we pushed the idea of a child aside. Earlier this year I had been really, really sick. I tried all kinds of medicine. It never occured to me that I was pregnant. I figured when I missed my period in August that the stress of teaching this school year was just getting to me. When I missed it again in September I knew it was time to get a test. I think its funny because everyone seemed to realize I was pregnant but me! I'll never forget the moment when I took that test and sent my husband the text message that read, "Congratulations Daddy!" He was so happy that he told everyone…and I mean everyone.

At eight weeks I had to go to the emergency room for some bleeding. I was so scared. I couldn't understand what had gone wrong. The doctor said I had a subchorionic hemorrhage and that I had a 50% chance of losing the baby. Talk about worried...that’s all I have been since I went to the hospital that day. I had to be on bed rest for a little while and I had some problems with my blood pressure.... I think that was sparked by my own worrying.

I am now 20 weeks along and Tuesday we should find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I haven't had any complications since then. It seems as though the problem healed itself. This is my first baby so I'm not sure if I've felt movement or not. Sometimes I think I do but I'm not sure. I can't wait until I'm sure that in fact my baby’s movements are what I'm feeling!

God bless to all!

Baby Number Two:)

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with my second baby :) I was extremely ill this go round, but about two weeks before Christmas it decided to let up, finally at 16 weeks! I haven't thrown up since, YAY :) I'm really starting to feel much better, emotionally and physically. I guess that's why they call this the honeymoon trimester:) (Knock on wood, I don't want it to end!)

With my first, my lovely little boy, I wasn't ill at all and only 18 when I found out I was pregnant. My then boyfriend had a horrible time dealing with, as he was only 18 as well. I mention this story, because I've read many stories on here about girls who got pregnant around that same age. When our son was about one yr. old, my boyfriend finally started to come around, we were growing up.

By 21 we both had great careers and were building our first house. You can do it! We married this past May, and that's when I decided to come off birth control, as we didn't want our second to be too much older than our first. I became pregnant within 3 months! I wasn't expecting it to be that soon.

My son will be four and a half when the new baby arrives. I'm so happy to experience pregnancy again and for it to be a wonderful thing and all our family is extremely excited. It is really hard to have a baby young, but you so can do it. My son is the love of both my husband’s and my life. I can't wait to experience that love x2 :)

Although, no more! We're done!

scared and exicted

I'm am 28 years old and my husband and I are expecting are first child. I am very excited and also very scared. When I was between 6 and 7 weeks pregnant I had to go to the ER 2 different times because I was spotting. I was so scared. But thanks to a lot of prayers everything so far has been alright. But I still can't shake the fear of something happening,

I am 17 weeks and I already love this baby so much. One fear I have is going into preterm labor. Working at a hospital hasn't helped the worry much either. But hopefully with a lot a prayers and hope I will get to see my little miracle soon.

Good luck to all and I will keep you all in my prayers.
