I’ve struggled with being infertile my whole life. I’m 30, and pregnant for the first time ever. It’s amazing. And such a miracle. I struggle with Multiple Sclerosis, arthritis and other things, so actually the pains of pregnancy are a relief. How’s that for perspective! But I’m so excited to see whatever it takes to create a life and watch it grow. I loved ready all of the thoughts and the main post. Thanks for giving me a place to share.

In reply to Melissa. Melissa, I've been there I had two late 2nd trimester losses. 22.3 weeks a boy and 17.3 weeks another boy they found out I have incompetent cervix. I need cerclage for every pregnancy now. Its where they stitch your cervix up to keep it from prematurely opening. I finally got my rainbow son with a cerclage and he is 3 now. I just wanted to give you hope and ask your doctor about the possibility of incompetent cervix. Good luck and I pray your baby comes home in your arms.

I lost my first at 16 weeks rupture of membranes. I’m pregnant again, 5 weeks and already rocky. Bled red for 4 days, but somehow I’m still pregnant. But I am absolutely terrified. I don’t think I’m going to enjoy this as much as I want to. If I make it past 16 weeks this time, I might relax, bit nobody ever tells you how scary and hard it is to be pregnant after a late miscarriage. Every little thing g freaks me out.

In reply to anervouspreglady. I'm so sorry! Definitely try and find someone you can talk to, whether it's a stranger in an online pregnancy group or a friend, or your SO! It's okay to worry, but try to stay positive! And congrats!

Ugh, thank you for this article! I am at week 5 and over 30. I have been freaking out and paranoid about a miscarriage because we really want this, and got lucky after the first month we tried, but I haven’t been pregnant in over a decade now. But I want to be able to talk to someone about my fears and since we aren’t telling everyone until after the 1st trimester is over, I cannot talk about my fears. I don’t want to talk to my SO because I don’t want to worry him either with my fears. One paranoid freak is enough

Thank You ! Needed that injection of positivity. Just found out this morning that I am pregnant. It is my third time but sadly have had two miscarriages. Trying to keep the negative thoughts out and reading something positive has made me smile. It is all for the baby
