My name is Michelle. My 1st pregnancy, thankfully, had no issues and I gave birth to my first daughter on 12/6/08. When she was 18 months old, we found out after just going off birth control that I was pregnant again. However, when I went to my 12 week check-up the doctor couldn't find the heartbeat and the following day I too had a D&C. This was the most awful feeling I've ever had and it took months before I felt "healed" enough to want to try again. February 2011 I found out I was pregnant again and was excited but extremely worried. At my confirmation of pregnancy appointment my OB could tell I was nervous so she ordered an ultrasound to see if there was a heartbeat. Unfortunately, it was too early to tell, we did see the sac forming but she promised at 9 weeks we'd check again. Sure enough at 9 weeks we saw the little flitter of the heartbeat. The pregnancy was fairly normal but more aches and pains from chasing a 2 yr old around. Finally on 10/26/11 (a week over due), DD#2 entered the world!
I first found the webmd boards while pregnant with DD#1 and have been on them ever since, just different stages of pregnancy and parenting as well as the Dealing with a Loss and PAL. Please don't be shy to ask question, vent and cry with each other. Seriously, these ladies helped me through my pregnancy b/c they understood all the emotions I was feeling. Sure I talked to my husband but it was totally different for him. Good luck to all of you and here's hoping for some healthy full term babies!!View Thread





Katelyn is now 2 1/2 months old and she's such a joy. She's smiling, laughing and responding to us talking to her. Alex LOVES being a big sister and is so proud of her little baby. Katelyn sleeps about 6-8 hours at night in her own crib and is formula feed. Our family is so complete now!View Thread
