Absolutely scared witless... and happy of course :)

Before I start, I should point out that Hubby and I had a miscarriage at 20wks in March We were living in Spain at the time, and I've no idea how hospitals do it here.. but I had 12 hours of induced labour before it was over with. Horrible, horrible, horrible...
Anyhoo, since then Hubby and I have been adopting the 'If it's meant to happen it will' approach...

I had a funny feeling earlier this week, did a Boots home test and it was negative. The funny feeling wouldn't go away, and Thursday was four weeks since the first day of my last period, so I did another test (Boots again) this morning.
Initially there was nothing, but when I checked back a little later (not sure how long) there was the faintest of pink lines for a positive result. Told Hubby, who squinted until he could just about see the line, then he gave me a big hug and said 'Don't get your hopes up... it's hardly a line at all!'
The line was fainter than faint, lol.. so I did a bit of readng this morning online, and came to the conclusion it could have been an evaporation line...
Back off to the chemists then, for a more accurate test
Good old Superdrug have the First Response Early Response double packs for 10.49 buy one get one free, bargain! Plus I was pretty sure that I'd need the extras at a later date as not getting my hopes up.
Just done one of them.. AND THERE'S DEFINITELY TWO PINK LINES!!! That's a positive, in case you were wondering!
Can't wait for hubby to get home to show him (should maybe have told him before you guys?!) but am also getting really stressed out.
I can't be more than 3 weeks pregnant, and it's such a long time til the 12week milestone. Even then, it all went terrible wrong for us at 20 weeks last time...
How am I going to get through this?? Plus I have to quit smoking, at a time when I'm more stressed than ever and am in dire need of a cigarette!

Anyhow, was bursting to tell someone, so I guess doing it anonymously on here has scratched that itch lol And sorry for the mammoth post... I guess as it's my first one here it's a bit of an introdcution as well. Really looking forward to getting to know you all... I just hope I can stay pregnant long enough to make some friends.
Any advice on how to get through the next few weeks VERY much appreciated, I'm a worrier as it is

Love to you all

FS xx

PS The nickname is for luck, hubby always wishes on them.. and I am too!

Congratulations on your BFP!

I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot even begin to imagine how you must have felt having a mc at 20 weeks, my heart goes out to you.

Unfortunately I can't offer any words of wisdom how to get through the next 17 weeks but will say take each day at a time and try to think positively - that's all you can do.

Wishing you an uneventful 9 months sweetie xxx

Thank you.. am feeling a little calmer already. Just wish Hubby would hurry up and get home so I can tell him about the second positive result!
I would call him at work, but he's a tattoo artist and really should have his mind on the tattoo he's doing.. not his daft wife sitting at home.
So, for his clients' sake.. I'll wait! xxx

Aaaw what a story. I'm so sorry for your loss but please try to be positive that this time it will all work out. Your head must be all over the place! Good luck giving up the cigs and try to find something else with your hands. I knitted a blanket for my son cos I was so crap I could onlt do squares lol. He's 4 now and still uses it and loves it. I gave up the cigs when I was pregnant. Your OH is going to go nuts when he gets home lol. Advice? Just try to chill and relax, there is no reason why the same can happen again. I always say things happen for a reason so who knows why you had to suffer so terribly last time *big hug* Just celebrate now and positive thinking from now on. Wishing you both many congratulations and a happy and healthy 9 months ahead x

Congrats on your pregnancy and so sorry for your previous loss! I've suffered a mc too but not as late as yours and I have to admit the first 12 weeks were torture but take a week at a time, set yourself little milestones and you do start to relax!! Wishing you a healthy 9 months x x
