High risk pregnancy

I am 36 years old and in my 19th week of pregnancy. Last February, I suffered a miscarriage due to low progesterone that wasn't diagnosed until I was seen in a fertility clinic. After this problem was corrected, I conceived the following month. I would suggest that you have your day 20 progesterone levels checked. The best person to help you would be a reproductive endocrinologist. Good luck!

Thanx for your suggestion. I'll definately check on it. Just need to find the right Dr.  Thank you !

5 years ago i got pregnant 9 months post-band.  i could not eat and didn't take supplements.  i lost weight the entire pregancy...they wanted to put me on TPN (IV nutrition) and I refused.  I was severely malnourished and felt like ****but I had a healthy 6 pound baby boy who was full-term and born completely natural childbirth!  He was perfect! I did end up having ot have the band removed shortly after that due to complications...but my point is this:  the baby will get what he/she needs in spite of what you do.  YOU may suffer, but that baby will get what it needs from you first. so even stressful situations can have happy endings. :) mary

Awe...what joy. That's so reassuring. I need to try ta not worry but ya know how ya just can't help it anyways then... on top of everything being  told such negative remarks...Ugh ! Thanx Mary

An important thing to remember is that the miscarriage was NOT YOUR FAULT.  How dreadful that your OB made you think that you had anything to do with it.  We go through enough guilt and grief and beating ourselves up over losing something so precious, when in fact, these things are largely out of our control.    Give yourself time to process your loss. If/when you decide to get pregnant again, find a care provider who will support and encourage you, not scare or belittle you.  You deserve to be treated like a goddess. You can create life! This site helped me so much after my last m/c:  http://www.pregnancyloss.info PM me if you want to chat. Liz

Thanx so much for your kind, caring and understanding words. I have such mixed feelings now. There is one side of me that wants to just focus on losing weight first then my heart is still set on a little one. I know you're exactly right tho... I need to give myself time to process my loss. Never thought about that until now. It has been a difficult grieving experience for me. I'm going to check out that site tonight & thanx for the offer I'll hafta take ya up on that chat too sometime !
