OMG I'm pregnant......4th time lucky? Positive thoughts needed :)

[flawless]

So; I did a test this morning - it said POSITIVE! I am in shock.

I've had 3 miscarriages (in less than 1 year) all around 6-7 weeks, the last being May '12 - I thought I'd never fall pregnant again. 10 months on I am!

So, I tried acupuncture, no dairy, Maca supplements, daily baby asprin (not for long though), healthy eating, no booze.....yada yada. Been for numerous tests which have all come back fine, I have no issues allegedly - it's all been bad luck.

So, at 42 years old maybe this is my time....?

Advice please ladies - should I take the baby asprin again each morning? Anything I should avoid? Anything I should do/take...?

From a very happy yet slightly nervous Flawless

Congratulations. Fingers crossed for you that everything goes well over the coming months and years : )

Congratulations and good luck! xxx

Congratulations! I haven't heard of downsides to baby aspirin (pre-existing contraindications aside). My clinic puts everyone on it from egg collection onwards.

No idea about the baby aspirin, just here to say congratulations!

congratulations, fingers crossed for a very sticky bean.

Dont know anything about baby asperin, maybe have a chat with your doctor? I guess the advice I would give would be take it one day at a time. And remember today you are pregnant, dont worry about tomorrow. Im 11 weeks pg after suffering a stillbirth and two miscarraiges, I really hope this is the one for you. Good luck.

Thank you everyone - what will be will be

I was 4th time lucky! And then 5th time lucky not long after that. Some days I still find it hard to believe that these two wee boys are really mine!

In both pregnancies I took 75mg aspirin a day, on the advice of the consultant.

Good luck, I hope this is your time.

I've not heard about Fragmin - will enquire - thank you!

I was like you - 3 mc and am 43 now. I got all the tests and did the blood work. I am now 10 wks. I asked specialist if I shod now be taking baby aspirin and he said the tests showed your blood or issues around coagulation were never a problem so taking aspirin won't make a difference.

I don't think it would do any harm bit it's likely that your previous mcs and this pg has nothing to do with how thin your blood is,,,

Congratulations keeping everything crossed for you.

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for you

Fingers crossed for you OP, and massive congratulations!

And thanks - am also 42 and TTC after m/c last year. Hope is a gift that keeps on giving!

Congratulations. Lovely, lovely news.
