Dont know if i can handle another loss.

Lizzy - 12:50am Nov 6, 2009 EST

Maybe some of you have read my journal on here? If not heres an update. When i was 17 i had my first child, a daughter. Skylar was born in 2000. No complacations at all. We tried for years to get pregnant again. 6 actually. Then i found out i had cysts on my ovaries and had my right ovary removed. That must have cleard the way because my surgery was in January 2006 and i was pregnant 8 months later! I was due June 2007 and we were so happy. New years day out of the blue my water broke. By January 8th 2007 i was in labor. My son Caden was born at 16 weeks. He weighed only 7 ounces. He was so tiny but perfect. My doctor said it was a fluke. They didnt know why it happened. We were heartbroken! (Still are.) When we were ready we started trying again. I found out June 25th 2009 that was newly pregnant. Was given an early March due date. July 12th i woke up bleeding. I went to the er. My Hcg levels were down to 44.. i misscarried. I can not even begin to say how devistated i was.. am. Im 27. My first child is well on her way to turning 10. Should i even try again? Could i handle another loss? I really want more children. 1 or 2 more.. But should i put my family through that? I really need some advic or just guidence. Please..

I can understand your pain. I lost my precious little girl at 22 weeks May 2, 2009. I got pregnant again in June and miscarried in July at five and a half weeks. I got pregnant again this month and was just told I will be miscarrying again. I am sad and frustrated because there was nothing wrong with my first pregnancy and it was my incompetent cervix that caused me to go into labor. Although I am sad and scared I know my husband and I will try again. I have known people who have gone through a few miscarriages before having a healthy baby. Overall though you and your husband need to decide and be ready for whatever may come. Wishing you the best!

    Oh my! Are you ok? Are you still pregnant? As I say in all of my blogs I definitely know your pain. I had a baby girl at 23 weeks. She survived for 5 months and then passed away from a blood transfusion. i got preganant a month later and I just lost my son on Tuesday Jan 5th. I was 19 weeks and my body failed with a cerclage and an emergency cerclage.
