The good news, is that your next pregnancy has a great chance that it will be normal. I am 16 weeks pregnant ;-) I was really nervous during my first trimester. Once I saw my baby precious heart beating, sigh, what a relief! I am scheduled for another ultrasound this Monday. I am a bit nervous, but I am praying that everything is A okay.

I hope this info. will help you heal and give you courage to try again soon.
