[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just learned I am pregnant again after two consecutive miscarriages.  I have had 2 children, so I know I can carry to term, but after the miscarriages, I can't help but feel nervous.  Of course, there usually is nothing you can do about a miscarriage, but I am trying to think of things that might bring me some reassurance, or at least an early detection if something is wrong - early ultrasound (not sure when it makes sense to get one), baby aspirin (I have heard some people take this but not sure how much)?  (I have had progesterone tested in the past and there is no indication it is low.)  Mostly I am just trying to not to get too excited.[/quote]

Congratulations!

I had two consecutive miscarriages after my first child.  I never really relaxed in my subsequent pregnancy.  My youngest child is now 10 months old and I STILL feel as if I haven't fully bonded with him.  This is entirely because I was "trying not to get too excited".  So while, it's sensible not to get your hopes up too much, please don't do what I did and try and let go a little as the pregnancy progresses and relish in the little one you are growing.  I feel terrible that I have short changed my baby in some way by cautioning my excitement about him too much.

It sucks that miscarriage forever tempers our excitement and expectations about pregnancy.  [/quote]
