[quote=Anonymous]any news op? I spotted early on in both pregnancies. With the first (an m/c) the spotting was bright red and turned to real bleeding and cramping within 12 hours. With pregnancy #2, well, he just threw a typical toddler tantrum this morning. That time it was more brownish than red, and happened on and off a few times, maybe up to 16 weeks. And yes, I was convinced each time that the pg was a 'no go.'

anyway, I just wanted to say that it is completely normal to feel the way you do--you've been through a lot, and facing a loss is so hard to comprehend that being numb is a protective measure. And its fine. Even if you go through the whole pregnancy nervous and you don't "bond" in utero the way you feel you "should', its not going to matter--the baby will be fine even if s/he didn't get mozart played to him/her every night! Just take care of yourself--eating, sleeping, and I recommend yoga as a way of being gentle and connected with your body and a helpful mind calmer.  No need to worry bout amnio, etc, now--and don't listen to your fertility nurse friend--when the time comes, your ob should be able to guide you down that path (I will say that you were also probably misinformed--yes, its possible to get soft markers for downs but in fact the child is fine--however an amnio is certain, but there are also non invasive tests that can help you make a decision about whether to do an invasive test).
