Being pregnant I bawled my eyes out when I watched your vlog on "What not to say". I've never miscarried but I really felt for you when I watched it. So I'm soooo happy for you now. And it's nice to see you have a little tummy going on too. I am 17 weeks (due 02-18-09) and I'm starting to feel like a whale. Anyway keep up the good work and best of luck to you and your family.

MJ, if I spotted I think I would have a heart attack. I get the most nervous at doctors appointment. But today I had a few minutes of feeling so good that I freaked. Best wishes to you to and other moms to be. Great your friend works with other parents, that's beautiful, boy would that be tough. Ah, what a bunch of sweet people.

Your story is so similar to what I'm still going through: I was very stressed out when I got pregnant after I miscarried- especially when I started spotting at 6 weeks, the same point that I miscarried last time. THANKFULLY, this time the spotting was not the baby, and I breathed a huge sigh of relief. But, even when I got past the first trimester, I never really stopped worrying! I'm about to enter my third trimester, and it's the same time of year that I lost the last one- I still worry. I mentioned this to a friend who lost her first baby (and went on to have a gorgeous little boy), and she affirmed my feelings. In fact, she volunteers at a support group for bereaved parents as her way of healing, and they have a sub-group for parents who are expecting again after loss. I went once, and it was helpful. So hang in there, and know that we're rooting for you (and praying for you)! Congratulations!

Getting pregnant after a miscarriage is both a blessing and a curse. You are thrilled, yet aprehensive about the experience. Been there done that. Personally, I had a hard time "getting into" the pregnancy until after 20+ weeks because I was scared of another loss and felt like I needed to be mentally prepared. Now, here I am, two days shy of my due date, STILL in awe of the miracle of life and haven't completely decided on names. :) Best wishes for a healthy baby! Congratulations!

This explains why you were not happy with the new haircut. Nothing to do with hair, babe, just hormones (and I still love the hair BTW) I am so happy for you. And I know that feeling of worry after a miscarriage. Try to breath and relax. Miscarraiges happen and healthy wonderful babies are born after them. And then before you turn around they have sideburns and hairy legs and are getting their learner's permit next tuesday!! crying! i have never been so happy for the pregnancy of someone i never met (sort of) OMG.

Yes, I think you should see a therapist. Someone who is skilled in this issue, if you can find them. But, geeeeeez. It's LA, so isn't there a shrink on every corner. Hangin out by the bathroom at Starbucks? I have a client who is also pregnant and the entire experience is being marred by her sometimes rational and sometimes irrational fears. I fear that her prenatal anxiety will morph into full-blown post-partum depression. Talk it out and try to find a way to deal with these very real, very understandable emotions. And smile.

I could cry. I really appreciate the therapy advice, I need to work on that, cause I know when I am going to more ultrasound appointments that is when the anxiety really kicks in. Yes, my gut in the lunch video alarmed me and I knew it wasn't from fat, but it was still a shocker! Today I am wearing the cutest dress from work. must take a picture of it. you would never know in it. just shows you how important the right clothes are. oh, my due date is Feb 21st. :) What loving sweet messages!! thank you all so much.

I could kind of tell in one of your videos that you might be pregnant (the lunch one), but I wasn't going to comment in case you were sensitive about gaining weight. Anyway, first time commenter who watches/reads you daily. Congratulations!
