Hi everyone,
I've recently found out that I'm pregnant again after my first pregnancy ended in a missed miscarriage in January (found out at 12 weeks, baby was 8 weeks). I haven't participated in any of the discussions up to this point, but have found a lot of comfort by reading the posts from many of you that have gone through the same thing. I thought it might be a good time for me to jump in here seeing as I'm having a lot of anxiety about being pregnant again, and I'm older (35) so I know I'm already considered high risk. I assume many of you had to overcome similar fears, especially early on and I'm wondering what you found helped get you through it.
Thanks,
Kristin

Kristin, welcome to PAL! Congrats on your BFP!! I know for me, this board has helped a lot. There were so many times when I've turned to PAL and gotten the comfort, support or courage that I need. Faith is a big part of it for me as well, and I think a lot of ladies here will tell you the same thing. We have a motto here "FAITH OVER FEAR". Somedays its harder than others, but when it gets hard I come here and get the encouragement I need. Everyone here has been through the same thing. Though our stories are different, we've all had a loss and we're here for you!


Lots of prayers and super sticky vibes for your little bean!!

I have to agree with the pp- both PAL, TTCAM and the IVF board have saved my sanity. I would have NEVER been able to do this on my own, with my real life friends who get pg when they look at their husband crosseyed and every pg=a baby.

Hey and welcome to the board and congrats on your preg!! I am sorry for your loss and understand your fear with this pregnancy! It is completely normal to have fears after surviving a miscarriage. I have found that this board has helped me get through so far.
