Well, I made it to 8w4d.

This is how large the baby grew in the spring before my m/c.  So I made it to here, with no spotting this time.  

This morning I freaked out a bit because my boobs didn't hurt.  But then I started to feel gross (not quite ms but still not 'right') and while it might be my prenatal pill, I am taking it as a sign that as is well in fetus land.  We don't get another ultrasound for a week, which I am fine with, but man I can't wait for the end of my first tri.

Who are my other April due date moms? speyedr? kershnic?

Passing my loss milestone a few weeks ago was one of the best feelings, Congrats! I also cannot wait to leave the first tri behind and lately it seems like I am losing all of my symptoms I had early on and that freaks me out a little but I keep telling myself that as long as nothing is wrong, don't worry. I don't have another u/s until 20 weeks but hopefully will hear a heartbeat at my 12 week appt in three weeks.

Yay for getting to 8w4d!!!

I am living in intense fear of miscarriage and also very much so have my eye on the end of first trimester... My previous losses were in the 5-6w range so I passed that long ago, but I think I'm going really crazy because of the likelihood that if I lose this pregnancy I may not get a chance.

I had my first OB (released from the RE) appointment on Tuesday this week at 9w1d and we saw two perfectly developing fetuses and heartbeats. I had some brown spotting that evening and flipped out, but it seems to have stopped, so I'm going with the theory that the u/s irritated my cervix. Still scared. I've had some vague symptoms - mild nausea, bigger boobs, burping - but nothing that really stands out as THIS is definitely a sign. I never really get medication side effects and am the type of person to have an illness without the symptoms so I think I'm not really a symptom person.... I have another OB appointment at 11w1d but I don't know if they'll do an ultrasound that day. And then an NT scan scheduled right at 12w.

Wishing for a quick path into 2nd tri for all of us!

Congrats for making that milestone. I was also terrified of mc and my goal was getting to 12 weeks. Just to calm your nerves, the little nausea I had went away at 9 weeks which was terrifying but I guess I just got lucky. Expect your symptoms to start decreasing now as you near the end of 1st tri

rugbywife, we're almost PGAL twins. Last time I was pregnant I started spotting at 9 weeks, 6 days. *looks down at ticker*.

This week has been really tough leading up to today and also because some of my symptoms have disappeared. My first appointment is on Monday so I am anxious about that too.

Being PGAL is so damn scary. I just wish I could be blissfully optimistic instead of paranoid all the time!

I'm also due in April!

Rugby! I saw this post and was so sad for a hot second!! I'm glad things are still going ok. Sending you so many positive thoughts for the next four/five weeks. I hope that they FLY by and you can settle into the second tri feeling better.

Ditto lola! I saw the title and got really worried. Hope everything continues to go well for you and we can all join you here soon.
