    Default I have to tell someone!

    Im pregnant! Im excited and concerned. Im excited for so many reasons and deeply concerned due to the fact I suffered a miscarriage in May and I honestly am just now coming to terms with it.
    I know there are no guarantees in preventing a miscarriage but I would love to know of any advice that may be helpful in increasing my chances of carrying my baby to full term.
    Im taking Folic Acid and Im drinking los of the V8 Fruit and Vegetable Mix (cause I abhor vegetables.)
    I would like to continue to work at least until March/April so I can sock away a bit more money while trying to find a 9-5 scenario. Should I quit now with all of the smoke involved? Should I be wearing heels shorter than six inches? I know that the healthiest thing I can do is avoid stress which shouldnt be a problem.
    Any advice would be deeply apprieciated, oh and for those of you who do pray please, please say a prayer for me and my little unborn angel, I really want him or her to make into this world. Thanks So Much!
    Now dont worry, Im simply gonna ask him how the hell he's gonna fix this economy!
    Oh, honey, he wouldnt know that, he's the President!

    You had a miscarriage before. I would stay out of the clubs working around smoke and doing the bending lifting etc. many women do. Dancing can very well make you and the baby healthier or perhaps put a strain on the both of you.

    There is nothing to insure this time around will work. But you can help alot. Your OB will give you prenatal vitamins loaded with Folic Acid to help the baby grow and be healthy. Also i would get more rest this time around, and only walk for exercise, really.

    Also you can do 100% everything correct to have a baby and it just may not happen, so never blame yourself.

    I think if you follow doctors orders, no smoking or heavy work, stress and lots of rest you may have a greater chance.

    Good luck to you CONGRATS!

    Usually, YOU are not the cause of the miscarriage. MOST miscarriages happen because there is something wrong with the baby (something is not growing right) or because the genetic material is not compatible (that's called a blighted ovum).

    If you work in a smoking club, you may want to quit or find another club that is non-smoking...or change your hours, if you can.

    Other than that, there is not much you can do! I had 2 miscarriages and then had a beautiful baby boy...and now I'm preggers with my next baby. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches and know that everything will happen when it's the right time for all involved.

    Good luck!

    The club I work at does have a dayshift, so maybe I will try that and see how it works out. I understand I cannot stop a miscarriage, I just want to increase my chances of not having one.

    Congratulations and I will keep you and baby in my prayers! I know its hard to deal with something you want so badly and can't control, but like Pamela said - it isn't your fault if it doesn't work out, you are trying your best to make sure your baby grows to term, but you can only do so much and nature and timing do the rest. I wish you the best of luck!

    Well, just keep taking the pre-natal vitamins, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest.

    Other than that...just think positive.

    Congrats and good luck!

    I know it's hard, but try not to worry so much. Maybe take up yoga or something to relieve stress. Congratulations!!
