Hi everyone,
I know a lot of you have been wondering how I'm doing so here goes..
I am pregnant!
Before you get too excited though it hasn't been smooth sailing and things are very dicey right now.
I found out last Thursday that I was pregnant and had one day of feeling absolute joy until I woke Friday morning with horrible cramps and bleeding.
We thought I had had an early miscarriage and the next day had to go for blood tests to confirm this. The blood tests however didn't confirm that and showed that my HCG count had doubled normally. So after a day of grieving we were absolutely stunned.
Unfortunately though the bleeding has contined so things are looking pretty uncertain at the moment.
It has been the hardest five days of my life. I want this baby so much and since I am on bedrest I have been lying in bed praying over and over to God to please let this baby live. Anyone out there who is willing to do the same will be thanked from the bottom of my heart.
I am not the only one with problems and I am thinking of all of you and what is going on in your lives too. I haven't had much time to reply to many posts though seeing I am supposed to be resting.
I am going to go for another blood test today and a scan later in the week so I will update you when I can.
Thanks again for your support and prayers,
Kerrie

Oh, Kerrie, I am so sorry that you are having to go through this, especially after all you have been through. My heart hurts for you. I know all too well the range of emotions you are feeling. After years of fertility treatments, I was thrilled to find out I was pregnant with my first baby, but then I suffered a miscarriage and I remember how devasting that was. I did, however, have two good friends that carried a healthy baby to term after they experienced heavy bleeding (that was never explained by their doctor.) So miracles do happen, and that is exactly what I will pray for in your situation! As my mother would say, "Bless your heart!" Take care of yourself and hopefully everything will be alright soon. The fact that your hormone level doubled is great news!

Kerrie!!
I am so sorry that you are having such a trying time!! You are in my thoughts. I will send all my positive thoughts with you. Take care of yourself and try to remain as positive as possible, as understandably difficult as that must be.
I wish you all the best. And although I am not a practicing catholic I will definately do my best at a prayer for you,

I can only say that I am praying for you. I wish you all of the luck in the world. I understand some of what you are feeling. I have experienced two miscarriages and hope that no one ever experiences that loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
