Hi everyone. I just found out I'm pregnant :o. I was so excited I screamed! Its far too early to tell lots of people so I thought I'd tell everyone here instead! I'm more nervous this time though as we tried for a year first time round, and then I had a miscarriage. Then when I next got pregnant again I had the most wonderful pregnancy. Then I was let down by the hospital, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl but a few days later found out she has a life-threatening health condition. I can't say too much as Id like to stay anonymous. She's a perfect, really beautiful little girl but they couldn't give us a prognosis so whilst she's fine now, her future remains uncertain. So here I am, absolutely thrilled to be pregnant again, but I miss that blissful ignorance of thinking things like that would never happen to me. My baby's condition isnt hereditary so it's extremely unlikely to affect the next one, but I know now that until this baby is born and is a few weeks old, I won't really relax.....and that's such a long way away.

I also love my little girl so so much - I couldn't even begin to explain how much! It's such a strong feeling. And I'm worried about whether I could possibly love the next one this much. Did anyone else feel like that and then find they loved their second one just the same?

How wonderful!!!!! Congratulations. Grin

I can relate to how you are feeling about the second, as I feel like this (15 weeks now) just because I now know how much I love my baby (and how vulnerable and small they are) which was a very abstract idea first time round, and I have not even had all those heartbreaking problems.

You deserve all the happiness this little one will bring. All the best with your pregnancy and the future for your family. I am sure you will love the new little one as much as your DD - though I too feel that way my sis says she did but did love her second just as much - the love just keeps growing apparently. Grin

Thanks for your reply GP. It's funny really as before i had her, if I could have explained my idea of a perfect little baby then she would be just like mine! So I almost can't see how its possible for the next one be that amazing, but as I'm writing this I realise that all mums must feel that about their own baby!

Indeed - my little man is my idea of the perfect child - how can I possibly be so lucky second time around??
