I did like all hopeful moms-to-be the first time around and got super excited, planning our future and looking forward to what I had always dreamed of. Then within a matter of 2 weeks of finding out I started miscarrying, which for myself lasted 5 miserable and sad days. So needless to say the second time I was scared. Every twinge and strange feeling sent me reeling and pretty much turned me into a mental case for a while. Even after the 12 weeks was up I didn't really stop worrying as I figured it would be my luck that something would happen as soon as I let my guard down. I only really stopped being as concerned when I had a 3D ultrasound at 26 weeks. Now that I have a wonderful healthy daughter who is going to be 2 in March and I can honestly say that I am done having kids. My husband has already had his vasectomy. A main part of my decision was due to my previous miscarriage. I didn't want to ever go through that again. And I have a perfect little girl that has made it worth it so why try again! I commend you for trying again and hope that this pregnancy will be successful for you and that you will be as blessed as I am. I know how terrifying it can be. Best of luck to you.
