Hey, I lost my baby 4 months ago to stillbirth due to a blood clot in the placenta. I am late on period and took a test today. It was a dollar store brand but with a sensitivity level of 25. It showed a VERY light positive. Then I took another a few hours later, still very light pos...So, I will take another in the morning with 1st morning urine. Has anybody experienced this and is it probably positive?? Kinda nervous, and blank.

Just in case anyone ever reads this....I went to the dr and I am 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant now. I am excited and I trust God no matter what happens. He is so good. I will go for an ultrasound in a few weeks and we will just keep going. I bought a little cute dinosaur outfit tonight, I will do all that I can to trust in God and not worry about this little miracle inside me. I will make plans, I will hold my head up and I will expect this baby to be ok. I will expect great things from my Lord. So if anyone is out there, this is my new beginning, and all will be good.
I will not forget my little baby Tate, he is part of us forever, and we will all meet in Heaven one day, and he will play with all his brothers and sisters!! God bless you all.

Hi Lisa,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know what a completely terrifying and exciting time it is to find out you are pregnant after you have experienced a loss.  I am so sorry for your loss of baby Tate.

Your faith is incredible an inspiring. I found my faith was shaken after my miscarriage but in time I rebuilt that relationship. Since then I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl who is now 17 months old.

Hold on to that faith and cherish your new beginning. A new life is growing inside you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Enjoy the awesome moments of pregnancy and Keep us updated on how things are going.
My Husband and I are starting to think about trying to have another baby and it brings back all the old fears as well as the excitement.

Time will tell for all of us. I believe there is a plan for us.

Take Care

Teresa

Teresa,
Thank you. I am getting more excited each moment, really. I am trusting in God alone. For He will see us through, all of us. I know that all the statistics say that getting pregnant this soon after a loss increases my chances of depression and anxiety which increases the problems in a pregnancy.  I have also heard that the chances are greater that you suffor major PPD after the birth of a live baby so soon after the loss of a stillborn. And I had a c-section, it has only been 4 months, and I have incompetent cervix also. So I am trying to just relax and beat the odds that say this will be hard, if not impossible. I am gonna do everything I can to insure that this will not be like what the books say it will be like. I want to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy and I will not forget where I have come from and know that God will carry me to the end, His end, where He wants me to be. The moment I was told about my baby's heartbeat being gone, I knew in my heart that he was in the arms of our Lord. It hurt, but I thanked God from that very second! Because I know that God loves me and He would never allow anything to come into my life that He is not in control of. For me to have to travel this road, will be worth everything. I have found peace like nothing can explain. I have the steady flow of Gods love surrounding me, and I know that what He wills for me is better than I can even imagine. I pray that you and your family grow and love to the fullest! You are a very sweet person and I am glad you replied. I am also very happy that you too, have experienced such a sweet reward of a happy healthy sweet child to love. And I pray that you will experience it time and time again!!
Talk to you later!

Hi Lisa,

You seem to be in a good place. I am glad that you have found some peace. You are a strong, strong woman.

Try not to worry about what the books say. Focus on what you know. You are carrying a beautiful and growing child inside you. Only you and God know what is best for you and your family.

I also got pregnant soon after my loss. We started trying again only 2 months after my miscarriage and so many people told me it was too soon, that I wouldn't be able to handle another loss so soon after the first. But I did my best to trust in God's plan for me and I knew I was meant to be a Mom. That pregnancy went well and we were given the most wonderful gift possible: our precious daughter.

It is impossible to know what will happen or to predict the future, but we can trust in God and in his plan and know that things will be alright. I trust that you and your baby will be fine.

Talk to you soon
Teresa

You are right Teresa. I know that everything will ok. We were told by our doctor that 6months should be enough time to wait. But I was using the family planning chart I found online to predict my ovulation cycle, and actually only had sex two or three times the whole month, and not on the fertile or less fertile days, and we got pregnant anyway. My husband says he has been praying for God to bless us with another child if it is His will and in His time. So my hubby says "here we are!! Preg again, I am just so happy!!" I am very thankful for the wonderful man God has blessed me with! He is great as a man altogether, friend, husband, father, support and all!!
So I am sure this was meant to be. we have shared this news with all the "prayer warriors" we know and know that all those prayers will only help this be a blessing and in my heart I know this is gonna be the most precious, problem free pregnancy! I just know this is gonna be ok. We are to be thankful in all circumstances, and that is my goal.
Do you only have one little girl? How many more do you wish for? My hubby always wanted 6! ouch....we'll see, all things are possible with God, maybe we can have twins or triplets this time and gain some lost time! Just Kidding.
Hope you are doing well. God bless you and thanks for listening and helping me!

Hi Lisa,
Yes we only have the one little girl. Jenna is 17 months old. I would like to have 3 or 4 but my husband only wants 2. We will have to wait and see what is meant to be.

Hope you are doing well, and feeling well.
TTYL

Good Morning Teresa,
My husband has always wanted 6 kids!!! We'll see, I guess.
I am feeling great, just really sleepy!! Which I know is normal. But other than that, I am really excited and know this will be a long nine months, since I am already longing to feel this little miracle in my arms! I am so excited and feel totally blessed. As I said before, we were trying NOT to get preg right now, but I know God is in control.  With my first child, we tried 3 years, with the 2nd one it was 6 years of trying. Then when my 2nd was 19 months, we just had 1 little unprotected time and there I was preg with Tate. This time was the same, just the 1, maybe 2 time... It really tickles me that God would allow me the gift of His precious child to grow within me. I am so honored, since all children are gifts from Him. I have to believe that He has a reason for this new life. Whether it be a plan that this child too may be sent to Him without time on Earth or that I may be in the plan of raising this baby on Earth to love and cherish and show this baby how to love the Lord and others. Either way, hard or easy, GOD IS GOOD!!!! All the time!
How are you and the family? 17 months?? Hummm, terrible two's just around the corner....Nahhh, they not THAT bad. Actually, it is great, they are learning and doing so many new, precious things. It is amazing.
 Dawson is 9 and Brianna is 2yrs-8mths. It is a joy that is unmeasurable!!!
Well,  will talk to you later.

Lisa,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I send you my prayers and good thoughts and lots of STICKY BEAN VIBES.  God will help you through this pregnancy.  I do send you big hugs and condolences on your previous loss.  I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in Feb 2006 and have since been blessed with a miracle baby boy, Nolan, who is 13 months old.  He is the light of my life and I know that God's hand guided me throughout my pregnancy.

Hi Lisa,
Haven't heard from you in a while so I thought I would drop you a line.
I haven't been able to post properly since this went to the new format. Not sure why so hopefully this gets through.

Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and I hope you are doing well and feeling good.

Do you get morning sickness?? or all day sickness?? or are you one of the lucky ones??

Teresa

[lisah4]

Hi Teresa,
I have had a hard time with this new format too. Thought I lost everyone. Glad we didin't!!  I am doing well. With all my previous pregnancies, morning sickness was a nitemare!! I had to take phenergan pills or suppositories just to get by. I am a little over 6 weeks now, and only had a few rough days. Other than that, it's been good. I have a Dr appt on Tuesday to a new dr. I am thinking about changing the dr I have had for the past 2 preg only because he has always seemed to be one of those "oh, thats just normal, you're pregnant". And with this pregnancy, I feel in my heart that I will just need more comp***ion and sense of urgency, even when it may be my nerves. I feel that I deserve that extra little bit of concern. That may sound slefish, or untrusting in God, but it isn't like that. I just want to be understood and felt that my feelings, good or bad are important, and taken seriously...How are you doing? Hope things are going good for you and the family. Talk to you later.

[TM]

Hi Lisa,
I don't think that that is selfish or that you are not trusting God at all. You are human and even though you have an amazing faith and trust in God day to day life and pregnancy can be scary. You deserve comp***ion and re***urance through this pregnancy. You have gone through a difficult time and you should be able to expect a bit of extra TLC from your medical professional. That is definitely NOT too much to ask.

We are doing well here. Life seems to get so busy doesn't it?
It is hard to believe it is already October and that Jenna will be 18 months on the 12th. Time does fly.

Well I am glad that you are doing well and feeling good.
Talk to you soon
Teresa

Lisa, I've seen a lot of your posts and think you are very brave.  I was just wondering what happened with your pregnancy.  I pray everything turned out well.  God's blessings.
Angie

[lisah4]

Hey Angie,
It has been a long time since I have been on here. Our pregnancy turned out great! God is good and He carried us through! I had all the complications that you could have and was on bed rest for 4 months. But was worth every second!!
Heather Alyssa was born 5-4-09. She is perfect!
I owe everything to God, He is all I need and so enough!!
Thanks for asking about it.
I hope you are doing well, too.

Hi Lisa,

I am so glad to hear an update from you, I was wondering how your pregnancy went. I was hoping and praying that you were enjoying your time with your new little one.
I am so glad to hear that your baby girl was born healthy and well.

I too have been blessed with a second baby. Ashlyn Grace was born October 23rd 2009. She is beautiful and big sister Jenna and her are doing great. Life is good.

I have been having some health difficulties and am in the process of tests to try and figure out what is going on. I am praying that God will see me through this as well and that all will be okay with faith and trust in his plan. If it is not too much to ask I would appreciate your prayers.
Thinking of you and praying for your continued happiness.
Teresa
