AHC Board Regular Posts: 5 06/16/08 01:11	Tags : None Hello ladies- I have not really visited this site since last March when I faced the heartbreaking choice of saying goodbye to my baby girl at 15 weeks due to a fatal Turners Syndrome diagnosis. Here I am three months later and I literally found out today that I am pregnant again. I am sooo scared but so happy at the same time. I don't think I can go through what I went through again. But I have to believe that God is on my side this time. I guess my question is how those of you who went on to successful pregnancies got through it and what I should do to help myself through these next, hopefully, 9 months. I just want this baby more than anything I've ever wanted in life. And I want to ENJOY the pregnancy, not be scared and alone the whole time. Also, is three months enough time for my body to get through another pregnancy now? I am afraid my chances for miscarriage are there, but I'm just not sure. I appreciate the support and insight. Abby

Are you going to consider genetic testing? I cannot offer you any personal advice, but i am sending you love and best wishes and CONGRATULATIONS!!! love kris

It was a life saver for me during my sub pg. I also got pg not quite 3 mos out from my AHC and I have a healthy little boy that is almost 15 mos. old. Wishing you the best, and yes try to enjoy this pg just remind yourself that this is a different pg and take it one day at a time, even one minute at a time if need be!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} nene0572

My experience last time was more bad news after another so its hard to feel anything could go your way after something like that. I have good feelings about this pregnancy so I will keep that with me until I see the doctor. My first appointment is scheduled for July 22nd. I will be 10 weeks at that point and I will get an ultrasound and they will check my vitals. I don't know if they would be able to see anything wrong at that time. I asked them if they needed to see me sooner because of my past, but they said no; Turners is sooo rare and even more so rare that it would happen a second time. The nurse and I had a nice talk so I feel better already just speaking with her. I will pray pray and pray some more that everything works out. Thanks guys! Abby

Remember that you have to do whatever is right for YOU. It does sound like genetic testing is not what you are interested in & that is completly your choice & a very private choice that is up to YOU. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that Turners &/or chromosomal testing can be done via CVS between 10-12 wks. I am wishing you a long & healthy 9months.
