I understand it...I hope you get what you wish for. I understand it's hard (my mom had a hard time and I saw what it did to her). I'm 38 weeks, miserable yet thankful for every painful kick, every sweet contraction and praying for delivery so I can meet her. Hubby got snipped today so it's final for us. This is it. I'm trying to enjoy this last week or so. Soooo bittersweet to think about never being pregnant again, yet I couldn't imagine ever doing it again and surviving. HA!<BR/><BR/>Just remember, if you never have another kid, do enjoy the one you have. My mom lost one at 23 weeks 15 years ago (I was 14) and I have never felt more isolated and "not good enough" since. It consumed her and she forgot to make the most of what she enjoyed in life. That doesn't mean you can't always wish you had another, just try not to let the little one know it. Good luck with your decision!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140468214545352325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-24576681941729475682008-07-10T15:07:00.000-05:002008-07-10T15:07:00.000-05:00Feeling exactly the same way.

I can relate to your problem pregnancy. When I miscarried my first set of twins I couldn't bear to think of getting pregnant again, but two months later without warning I did and had a rocky pregnancy but did delivery my daughter by c-section at 33 weeks very scary. Then a year and half later my husband and I decided to try again, and I was so scared and when I found out I was having twins again it was like we were having reruns of my bad miscarriage so the Doctor put me on bed rest for the whole pregnancy it was hell, but I would have done anything, and here is the best part I delivered them at 36 weeks and they weighted more then my daughter. Both boy's weight in at 6lbs 4 onces. Sorry that this is long but I know the pains of miscarriages, and I just wanted to share my story with you and I will pray for you.Confessions of A Mississippi Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848088462204658059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-12240401934990930142008-07-10T12:47:00.000-05:002008-07-10T12:47:00.000-05:00Hey, good luck with everything!

The second one was a total cakewalk and I ended up going into labor 6 weeks early anyway. Just goes to show you they are all different!

I am scared but not because I ever had any major complications just bc it hurt like crazy and I want another baby but not everything that goes a long with it. ;)jpandtheboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841960564589742769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-24088901328977164262008-07-09T22:04:00.000-05:002008-07-09T22:04:00.000-05:00*sending good vibes your way*My hubby and I are go...*sending good vibes your way*<BR/><BR/>My hubby and I are going to work on Baby #2 when he gets back from Iraq in February. We aren't telling any family members or friends, though, because we dont'w ant to have to field the incredibly annoying questions of "So you knocked up, yet?" Anyway - I think that terror is something that begins pre-pregnancy and doesn't EVER end! I mean - every time I think that hte stage of terror has passed, something else happens. For example - when I was prengant I was terrified of birth defects, and when I brought the baby home it was SIDS. Now? Autism. I don't think the fear ever ends . . . but the good makes it SO worthwhile!<BR/><BR/>Anyway - good vibes to you!KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-87493572122152337642008-07-09T20:25:00.000-05:002008-07-09T20:25:00.000-05:00I'll be thinking of you these next few weeks. :-)P...I'll be thinking of you these next few weeks. :-)<BR/><BR/>Prayers sent your way!Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163097493450864797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-62693768091649834482008-07-09T15:11:00.000-05:002008-07-09T15:11:00.000-05:00I know exactly how you feel!!!

My daughter was also premature and I am terrified of putting another baby through that. I hope and pray that my next child is born on time and healthy, but I am so scared!! If I remember correctly, our children were born very close together. Maybe we'll get to do pregnancy again together through blogland! By the way, aren't you an Aggie too?Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02802519589983667423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-65552542536990877532008-07-09T12:54:00.000-05:002008-07-09T12:54:00.000-05:00I hope you are able to get pregnant again soon, an...I hope you are able to get pregnant again soon, and that it is wonderfully easy, like you hope. I can somewhat relate. I have not had any miscarriages, but my first pregnancy was pretty difficult. I am not someone who enjoys pregnancy. After my first child, I swore I was never going through that again...but couldn't shake my desire for a big family. My second pregnancy was a little better, and my third was a breeze...it absolutely flew by, with no complications at all. I am hoping to have another too. <BR/>Also, from your comment on my blog, thank you (!), and would you mind sharing the tomato basil soup recipe? it sounds yummy!laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605878726484671232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-75822675452605554532008-07-09T12:50:00.000-05:002008-07-09T12:50:00.000-05:00An anecdotal hopeful story for you.

She has progressively gestated them each longer than the one before. #1 born 3 months early. #2 born 6 weeks early. #3 born 3 weeks early. #4 born 2 weeks early.<BR/><BR/>So there's some hope for you.
