Pregnancy Journal

We lost our baby to a miscarriage last week. I had lower back pain and cramps and they got worse last week. My dr did a D&C.

 Trying to keep up my spirits along with my husband's!.

Any suggestions for our next pregnancy?

I am five weeks pregnant now and very excited. This is my first pregnancy. I really don't have any morning sickness yet. I have a bloated tummy that feels hard and have lower back pain and some abdominal cramps. I hope these symptoms are normal. My first doctors appointment is in a few weeks and I am looking forward for that.

It was a Monday when I first found out that I might be pregnant. I wasn't sure at all because my previous pregnancy tests were negative. Even though I had a faint line the week before (on friday), I threw it away thinking that there was a mistake and did not tell my husband. But the following monday, I saw the faint line again when I tested. I was scared thiking that there might be a mistake and I may not be pregnant. But I was wrong, me and my husband got aanother pregnacy test after he came back from work and we got a brighter line. That Monday was April 21st, 2008. I hoped that those lines are true and I am pregnant. But we wanted to confirm with the doctor first. So we took an appointment with our primary care physician the next day (22nd) at 10 AM and my doctor told us the happiest news we ever heard. We are pregnant!!
