I too have had a baby after I lost my Angel. He is now four and a half. I was so scared during his pregnancy. I had six ultrasounds with him, last one just for fun. I do understand your fears and they are very valid. We all kow the pain when the results come back that something is wrong. I took folic acid before I got pregnant and for like three months after I found out I was pregnant. My blood pressure was high until I was like five months along, but I never felt ok that he was ok until I held him in my arms. That was one of the reasons my doctor ordered another ultrasound so I could see again for myself that he was healthy. So my advice to you is listen to your doctor, don't stress,(because that was no fun), and try to enjoy this pregnancy.

I went to the doc on 9/8 and found out that I am 2 months pregnant. I hope every thing goes well and I do not have a problem with this one. I am realy scared that something will happen. The doc said that from what she can tell from the ultra sound that the baby's head looks how it should, but I still wory. On my first ulra sound with Leo he would not stay still for them to get a good look at him. So I can not go back to his ultra sound to see if there is a diffrence. Oh this baby is going to be a ham for the camra the baby let the doc take as many pitcher as she wanted to. My doc told me I can stop taking the fulic acid, but from evey thing I have read that it is best to take it for the first 3 months. This worys me because what if she did notce something and is afraid to tell me in case she is wrong. Do you think I should wory? I
pray for jelly bean (my baby) every night that nothing will go wrong. I will be happy in about 7 months when I am taking home a happy healthey baby. Any advice from those of you that have had a baby after loosing one that may help with the woring or any thing elce. Any advice would be helpful. Leo's mom Molly
