I became a member of this site last year. I'm 39, with a 20 yo daughter, 10yo stepdaughter, and 13 yo stepson. No kids between my husband and I. My pregnancy last year made it to 9 weeks before I miscarried in a hotel room 3000 miles away from home. Tonite, I have just gotten a positive pregnancy test result...and am in a bit of shock. Was beginning to wonder if I had dried up or what. Guess having a job you hate made my stress level high enough to interfere with conception...for now I have been unemployed for exactly a month (new job starts tomorrow) and BOOM...I am pregnant. God I want soooooooo much for this pregnancy to make it. So scared of becoming too attached only to have my heart broken.
Gonna need a lot of luck here. This xmas was really sad because it was when I should have delivered...instead we end up getting free BABY stuff in the mail for a baby that never made it.
So now....I am back, and hoping against hope. I like the ppl on here very much which is why I came back.

Hi docbytch. Just wanted to say MANY congratulations on your pregnancy. I remember you from last year - I'm so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. I miscarried aswell (13weeks) with my first pregnancy which, like you, would have meant a baby under the Christmas tree in 2006. However, I was pregnant again instead and am now nearly 30 weeks! I really hope this pregnancy is fine for you (I'm sure it will be) and I can't wait to hear your updates. Stay as calm and relaxed as you can and try not to dwell on the past. I think the fact that you have a new job is an awesome way to keep your mind focussed elsewhere as I know how easy it is to put all your energies into the worries of the first few months and that is exhausting and stressful. Good luck with everything and I'll keep an eye out for your posts!!

d__n...you must have gotten pregnant almost immediately after the miscarriage? Very cool.
I will have to take this whole pregnancy thing with a grain of salt, for lo and behold I surely never thought I would have miscarried. What a c___ppy experience it was. I will be 40 when the child is born god willing. I like your positive posts. You deserve a chance to be a mom. Even if being a mom is hard...being a stepmom is WAY harder. I am looking forward to the chance for my husband and I to love and cherish this child equally. It's so hard with Blended families.... PLUS my daughter is now gone in the Coast Guard.....I have missed her a ton. Just maybe...now my husband and I will get to have a chance to be that "nuclear" family. I hope so. His kids are gone for two weeks and then here for two weeks which would allow he and I to get that "experience" of raising our own little family part of the time. My stepdaughter wants a little sib anyway.

Quick post as I'm on the way out shopping (nothing glamorous I a__sure you!!) but just to explain that we waited 3 months before trying again and then 1st time lucky - and that's truly how we feel - d__n lucky. We are overjoyed - getting a bit more nervous each day!! Have you told your family yet? How far along are you? TTYL.

Well my husband is an airline pilot so he is gone for days at a time. I am a registered nurse so our schedules are WAY whacked out. He was gone on trip tonite so I had to text msg him that I bought a test and it was positive. I double checked with a second test to be sure....same thing. I am gonna try and be like you....hopeful and excited.
No one else will be told unless we make it through at least most of the first trimester.
