As most of you all know, we lost our daughter at 20 weeks. Last week, we got a BFP. So far I've been tired and had some slight cramps. My chest is already huge (up from a D to a DDD). The thing is the few people we've told have asked me if I feel different from last time. When I tell them I do feel different, everyone tells me, "Good!" I'm not sure what to think. Should I be happy it's not the same? Should I just relax and get over myself? Anyone have any advice?

OMG CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
I would just relax and try not to stress about it. My pregnancies were about 90% similar, but there were small differences too! Probably because I was chasing after a toddler the second time around.
I'm SO happy for you!! Praying for a healthy pregnancy! -
Every pregnancy is different but what an annoying comment! And OMG HUGE HUGE HUGE CONGRATULATIONS !!!! Oh you just made my day. So happy for you!

Congrats! Mine have been pretty different, and since we had some complications the first time I'm taking it as a good sign.

I can't answer your question but congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! IDK about the same - but after my early m/c I was so super cautious about everything - physically AND emotionally until well into the 2nd trimester. I was almost scared to let myself get too excited. Just take everything easy and rest up as much as you need to. Yay!

@Jennimac: I'm not able to answer your question, but I'm so happy for you. Best thoughts and wishes moving forward.

Wow i totally missed your BFP!!!!!! Congratulations. I've been praying and thinking of you for the past months, hoping for your BFP. I am so happy for you.
Personally i dont believe feeling the same or different, has any effect on the outcome. What will be will be. All you can do is be positive (easier said than done) and take care of yourself (which I'm sure you are). The most likely outcome is that in several months time you will have a happy healthy baby.
I truly believe your first daughter will be watching over this pregnancy and making sure everything goes well.
Hugs

@Jennimac: congrats! I admire you for sharing your story and am sorry for your loss. I hope people stop askin you that so you can enjoy your BFP and pregnancy! Yay!
-
@Jennimac: wahoooo congrats!!!!!!
Sorry don't have experience. Just so happy for you. -
Congratulations!!!!!
All of my pregnancies have felt different-different symptoms (with a few things in common as well). I have had 3 successful pregnancies and 1 miscarriage. My miscarriage was significantly different than my other pregnancies in that my symptoms were pretty minimal and then went away--then I loss the baby.
I am sending you so many thoughts and prayers!
-
Thanks,everyone! I think my family is just trying to help me not stress out and worry. I think they are happy that I feel a little different. We will see how it goes! Thanks for all your positive encouragements and congratulations! They made me smile!!!!
-
Mines a little different too
but not too terribly different I'm so excited for you!
-
Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you. Sorry I can't answer your question but I wanted to wish you a happy & healthy pregnancy!
-
Omg, congrats on your rainbow baby! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!
-
Congratulations!!! Wishing you a smooth and easy pregnancy!
And yes, my second pregnancy felt almost exactly the same as my first, except I had a few more aches and pains (from chasing around a toddler) and I showed faster.
-
@Jennimac: congratulations! i only have experience with one pregnancy but i just had to hop over and say that i'm so flipping excited for you!!
-
Last summer, I had an early miscarriage, but even when I first got the BFP for it, I just wouldn't allow myself to believe it was real...and then I miscarried. With this one, from the very beginning all my symptoms were more intense and I felt more sure of it.
Plus, with ds I had a very easy pregnancy. He came at 32 weeks, due to complications of GD. I don't have it this time around, and I'm gonna be 36 weeks on Monday.
So, yeah, this one is way different than both my first pg and my miscarriage.

We were in the same "month" group of Aug. 2012 with your first pregnancy. My daughter was born almost two months early in June. I'm coming out of "hiding" since having our little preemie to wish you a HUGE congratulations! I'm so happy for you and wish you a very healthy and happy pregnancy!
My second pregnancy following a miscarriage (10 months earlier) felt much "better" and more secure. My symptoms were much more intense. I hope that this is an easy and complication-free pregnancy!
Big hugs!
-
Congrats!
-
Congrats!! Yay!!!!!
My pregnancies were pretty similar but my 2nd one was harder because I also had to take care of a toddler.
-
Congratulations JenniMac! I am soooo happy for you. Here's to a happy, healthy and wonderful 9 months.
happy valentines day!!
