im guilty of lurking lol
Name..kerry anne
im 38 and live in scotland...i have 4lo's
i had my sleeping baby 14yrs ago and know how heartbreaking it is..i was very lucky to have my 3 rainbow babies after but it doesnt take the pain away..if i can give just a little comfort to anybody that has been in the same position then i try to do so
On another note i really wish i had something like this after my loss..you ladies are fantastic at supporting each other and is what is really needed..you are all very strong and i wish you's all the best in getting your rainbow babies
good luck to you all and lots of baby dust coming your way

A little about yourself: You ladies know me
Reason you lurk: Because I got pregnant so fast and I feel a little guilty, and I'm getting my butt kicked by it so I don't have much energy to post much.

I'm Nickie and I'm a lurker
My DH is Adam and our handsome little man, Jasper, was born last Oct.
Before DS was conceived (my little miracle) we were TTC for 9 months and during that time I experienced an early loss (4 weeks, Sept 2009) and an ectopic (8 weeks, Dec 2009) which led to the removal of my right tube. I lurk here all the time but haven't posted because we are not technically TTC. The last time we were TTC I would obsess about my chart and test like a crazy woman just to be disappointed over and over. I was completely heartbroken after my losses so this time I am really scared I'll have go through it again. I'm trying not to let my anxiety get to me so we are NTNP at the moment and hoping that we will be successful without adding any pressure. But at the same time I'm worried that we have a long road ahead because I only have one tube.
Well, that ended up longer than I had intended so thanks for reading, it feels better to be able to vent my anxieties a little. I wish I had found this board after my first loss, you girls are so supportive!

Name: Rebecca
A little about yourself: I'm mom to 6 kiddos, all were premature. I've had 2mc's and 2 chemicals. This month is the month I was due with my last MC and one of my kids who was born in December. I hate February just because it's so darn cold. Can't wait for it to warm up.
Reason you lurk: I'm expecting Aug 1 so I feel like I'm sort of in limbo right now.

Name: Jessica
A little about yourself: I'm 37. My dh and I have been together for five years (he's nine years older tha me) and married for almost two years. I have two kids from my 1st marriage. My dh doesn't have kids of his own... just three angels with me.
Reason you lurk: ... because this board was my first home here at JM. I only spent a little time on two due date boards but disappeared with my losses. I lurk here because if we EVER sell my pre-marriage house we may end up TTC again. In the meantime we use condoms.
I have to say, somedays I beg him not to use one (to which he always uses one anyway) and then on the days he acts like he's NOT going to use one I freak out and tell him to put one on because I'm nervous about starting the whole process again. I'm not scared of being pregnant and having a loss again, I'm afraid of life with two older kids, working, and starting over. If I end up pregnant someday the question of "if" will be answered. LOL

I guess I'm considered a lurker. Mostly because I can't really post topics since I'm not TTC anymore and I am not creative at talking. Sometimes I think of posting....like I had my first scan this past Monday and everything is looking great! I go back on the 3rd of March and really can't wait. I actually feel pretty relaxed about this baby.
I heart you ladies. I do try and comment on posts here and there though.

Name: Terri
A little about yourself: DH and I have been together for almost 6 years and have been TTC for 4 years. We recently found out we were PG only to lose the baby 1 month later. I have 2 DD from a previous relationships. DH is convinced that next time I will get PG with twins. Some women wish for twins...in our house it is DH that does.
Reason you lurk: Started lurking while waiting to TTC but DH recently decided that he wasn't ready to wait anymore. I agree so I have officially introduced myself to you ladies. You have been extremely helpful through this whole situation.

Name: Amy
A little about yourself:
I have been married to my husband for 6 years and we have a beautiful daughter named Cara born 8/28/2005 (August 2005 DDC!). We have had 3 oops moments since having Cara and each one ended in miscarriage. The first 2 I had to have a D&C and the third was a chemical I only knew about thanks to me being a POAS fanatic if there is even a chance I'm preggo. My second m/c was the hardest. This was not supposed to happen again! Except for the horrible labor my first pregnancy was uneventful and now 3 m/c since then?? This is not fair!!!!!!!
Reason you lurk:
I'm still tore up over my losses and still alternate between being VERY angry to just horribly sad. On top of this my body is messed up completely and I can't fix it. I just want to have a normal cycle, and a normal pregnancy! thought that we were never going to TTC again so I didn't want to join in on something I wasn't going to be a part of (there goes the ****** jealous/selfish/sad feelings again). Just recently my husband and I finally talked and even though we are both terrified we may begin trying again soon. I'm going to a new doctor now and we'll see where this goes.
Hopefully I don't sound horrible in my answers, but TTC and having another baby as well as the babies I lost consume my thoughts. I'll try to join in more and maybe this will help me to get prepared and heal a little more by talking to others who have gone through what I have too.

Name: Sandy
A little about yourself: I am 39 years old, I have 2 sones 10 and 12 from a previous relationship. I had my first loss while in that relationship 2/05 requiring a D&C. I have been in my current relationship for nearly a year and have had 2 miscarriages 7/10 which required a D&C and one 10/10-didnt even know I was pregnant until I was miscarrying, no D&C was done but I am still having my beta levels checked as of a week and 1/2 ago I was down to 10......Cant wait to start trying again.
Reason you lurk: I have been bouncing around the boards and really dont know where i belong.....
