I’ve been praying that things are going well with you. I was surprised the other day to discover I’m pregnant again. Time will tell if this will be healthy baby 4 or miscarriage 6. I try not to think about it and just concentrate on staying healthy and raising the other 3.

Mandy,
I know exactly what you’re going thru. I’ve had two miscarriages-one at 6 wks, one at 11 wks. This is my third pregnancy, and I’m now 14 w 3 days. I am not “feeling” pregnant right now-no fetal movement, and all of my things from the first trimester have almost disappeared-no more morning sickness an no more breast tenderness-which is good, but does little to reassure people like us. However, the nausea didn’t occur with the first two, so I’ll take any sign of a healthy pregnancy. I know it’s not reassuring, but try not to stress-God’s will will be done. Spend your time loving and playing with your 3 daughters, and then you’ll realize another day has passed and all is still well with your pregnancy. I have a BIG prayer list of pregnant friends, friends who have had losses, etc, and I will add you to it-just remember, you’ve been thru it before, and you are obviously a STRONG woman! Keep your chin up and your prayers faithful. I am thinking of you!
Susannah

I had horrible nausea/vomiting with my DD. My OB and my mom (an RN) told me that nausea is a good sign that you have a healthy baby. They said that most women who miscarry don’t have nausea. Hope that makes you feel better. Wishing the best for you and your baby.

I wanted to say congratulations! And that I so understand where you are at. I’m 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd. I have 2 beautiful girls and have lost 2. And although the doubt nags at my brain I refuse to let it take over, and instead hope and dream. I’m looking forward to reading your journal.
