Belly

Today, I am fifteen weeks pregnant. Getting through the first trimester was tough - but we did it. With all the sickness, tiredness, hormonal changes and worry that we might miscarry, I have to say it wasn't pretty.

But we are plugging along. With lots of worry for sure. I thought I would breathe easier after the first tirmester - but I think having pregnancy after two miscarriages is very difficult. One would expect the worst I suppose.

This is a blog for those who have suffered the very silent and tragic loss of a baby through miscarriage. Now that I am carrying a baby I write less. I know what some of you that have lost must feel when you read this post written by a now pregnant woman.

What I do want to say is this:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT - BUT IT TAKES TIME
TALK ABOUT YOUR LOSS - DON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE
BELIEVE IN YOUR BODY -TRUST
FIND A GOOD DOCTOR - AND I MEAN GOOOOD DOCTOR
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR MEDICAL LIFE - DON'T LET DOCTORS RUN IT FOR YOU
BELIEVE... THAT YOUR TIME WILL COME

I don't know much - but these are the things I have learned. For now, I am pregnant. I am counting my blessings. I am thankful. Cautious. And I know you are out there. Just remember you aren't alone... there are so many of US out there and WE don't have to do this alone.

Be well,
