Kelly,

It sounds like that trip did you some good! I hope all goes well and you and I both get pregnant soon.

I've never actually had a PG loss, but I know how it can feel. I have mourned a child that I never lost. I came close to losing my daughter in very early pregnancy. She is now a happy and for the most part, healthy 3 y/o. Still, the thought that it almost happend haunts me to this day. I wonder even if I may have had an undiagnosed m/c earlier this year, too. I try to tell myself No, but deep with in I feel it probably was.

I wish you the best in the time to come, Dr. Shanahan! Please keep us updated. You know how much everyone here cares about you!
