Pregnancy after Miscarriage

[desertmom]

Hello all!
I had a miscarriage January 21st... my 5th pregnancy- so it was a whole new experience for me. I was 14 weeks along too- and was sure I was out of the "miscarriage zone".
After that I just about said maybe I'm not meant to have a 5th kid. I was setting up an appointment to go on the Mirena... but then found out I'm pregnant! lol
I'm happy.. but I feel in denial... and I'm afraid to get *too* excited. The miscarriage is still fresh in my mind y'know?
I'm only 5 weeks so I don't have many pregnant symptoms yet.. maybe when I start puking everyday the reality will hit that I'm pregnant! lol

Just wondering if anyone who has experienced a pregnancy after miscarriage can share how they felt about the pregnancy. Were you nervous that you would miscarry again? Did other people treat you like you shouldn't be sharing the news until you hit 12 weeks? Any stories- I appreciate. Thanks ladies!

Im so sorry for your loss.. I m/c back in 05 at 12 weeks it was very hard as you know.. it took me until 07 to be ready for another.. when I got pg it was scary but as the time went on I was feeling less stressed about it.. I also Never brought much for the baby except clothes to leave the hopsital "just in case".. I now have a healhy baby girl who is 5 months old... also this blinkie helped me..

I see that you are 31 weeks along now! That's wonderful! I had a miscarriage in Dec 07, and a chemical pregnancy in May 08, we are trying for #5 now and I know that I'll be a wreck for the first few months.
