Stressing about baby number two

Comment Published at 09:5609:5611 comments11 comments101 Visits101 VisitsReport
Hi all,

Am having a little stress over getting over the worries of miscarriage. I know its silly and i have figured out the problem (folic acid) and I have been taking the correct type of folic acid. I just hope angels are hovering over me...I was too scared to tell anyone, but yet how could I seek support here on Minti!!!!

So, I'll let it out of the bag (if clay hasnt already - lol)

I am pregnant again, but please dont get too excited for me until after 4 months. I am keeping everything on the quiet until I get over the first look at the scan. For some reason, I am too scared to go and get a scan done :(

I think I am two - three months along but more like maybe 10 weeks along....

I need all your strength I can muster Minti members!!!!

I am trying to keep a level head, but I suppose, if I miscarry again, I will let myself go through the process and not give up. I guess I like putting my head into the sand like an ostrich for a little while hehe...

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted

Love rach

Re: Stressing about baby number two
Congratulations!  You must be thrilled!  Don't stress too much because that can be bad.  I'll leave an angel in your lounge so she can make sure your stress level is way down!  Remember to get plenty of rest and make Clay do the housework! lol.

I've been through 5 m/c now, but I do have 4 beautiful girls!  so, you should never give up!  We figure all the boys decided they wanted to bail early.  Talk about being too early in leaving home.  lol.  it is a reality and there is nothing you can do.  On the upside, miscarriage means that you have less chance of raising a child that is slightly or severely disadvantaged in some way.  Better they head to the world of eternal love than live a life of rejection from society.  Not that any of mine had abnormalities, that's why I reckon they were all boys!  Harder to please!

I'll tell you what.  If I get pregnant again, I'll send it down the internet and you can have it!  4 is more than enough!

Feet up now and take all the positive energy we are sending you!
Hugs.
Arna

Re: Stressing about baby number two
thank you, gulp, I am booked in on friday and Clay is coming with me. This is all so uplifting, and positively emotional. All of you are wonderful.
I just love it. Everyone's wishes will stay with me today and everyday, keeping me positive and strong. I do really admire you all, you are all helping me comes to terms with the reality of life that miscarriage is a part of it. I gained a lot strength from the Lost Babies group and I feel I got through a real difficult time with the whole issue of loss and what that also meant to me as I confronted my emotional loss of special people in my own life and moved on happy. I am so grateful to all those moms/mums who really aren't scared to support each other here. I feel truly blessed and watched out for. Thank you all so much!!!!

This is a very non-excited Congratulations...

Let me say I know the feeling of wondering if it will happen again...  So I know what you mean by not getting to excited.. But can I help it even just a little bit???

I hope every thing goes well and your feet don't swell...
Once again Congratulations to you both... xxxxxxx

I am so happy for you.  Congratulations!

Just make sure you don't do too much ( I know thats a hard thing for a mum and business women!!).  I know it can be scary but you need to stop worrying - for you and your little baby! 

Take care!

Re: Stressing about baby number two
Hi Rachel,wow,congradulations!!! I understand, but not telling anyone is buying into being old fashion! When you didn't talk about it unless the pregnacy was going to be successful. When women were afraid they had failed somehow. We all know that's so far from the truth. I had three miscarriages and it wasn't until I wrote in the miscarriage group that I dealt with the emotions. So let us all be so very happy for you right from the start,let us all be there for you so you're never alone if something goes wrong. But most of all let's all send the very best joyous vibes your way!!! How exciting and already sending the best vibes ever!!! Take care
