Pregnancy and Miscarriage Fear
I feel like I am really putting myself out there with this post. I will be honest I am scared. I am pregnant again. For those of you who were with me last May in my journey, know my fears. For those who weren’t, I had a devastating miscarriage. I wasn’t going to say much until I had that first appointment to hear the heartbeat. Something inside of me just says to put it out there. My hubby and I talked about it, and if I lost this little one, I would be done. We want a large family, however, I couldn’t take another blow.
I have been sicker than with any other pregnancy. I have been more emotional, and even have cravings (I never really had much of any). Perhaps a good faith offering? Sometimes I believe God gives us these little things to hold on to. That little glimmer of hope we need to get through every day when we are uncertain of our path.
Please keep my family and I in your thoughts and prayers. I know I certainly need each and every one for the next month until I have my first appointment.

Thanks for sharing this really wonderful news, despite the fear and pain of your past experience. Although it always sounds so pat and contrived when you’re in the midst of struggles, pain and worry, God really does have an interesting way of putting all the little pieces of our lives together in a magnificent way. (By the way, I’m not saying that your pregnancy or miscarriage are “little” by any means here!) The hard part is not always knowing what your piece is, or how your pain and hurt can possibly contribute to anything good.
I’ll pray for you and your baby’s health. Hang in there and congratulations!
