Replies to 'Getting Pregnant'

I know how you feel.  We've been trying to conceive our 2nd child for more than 18 months! Our 1st child took about 4 months, and I guess I didn't realize how lucky/unusual that probably is.  We haven't  completely given up trying yet, but we're getting closer to that point.  I think that it'll happen if it's supposed to.  I wish you luck!!

I know exactly how you feel.  I got pregnant with my first child while I was on the pill and before we were ready.  Once we got married we simply assumed that we would get pregnant again no problem.  We've been trying for 18 months with no luck.  I cry every time I take a pregnancy test and it comes back negative.  I can't help thinking that I'm not getting pregnant because God doesn't think that I deserve another child.  It's very upsetting to me because I want another child so much.

I can totally relate to what you are going through right now. My husband & I have a three year old-and we really want a second child. I had my first miscarriage last year. I was devastated. We tried again after doctor gave us the "go ahead." Nothing. Then, I said last December, if I'm not pregnant this cycle-I am going to take a break. I joined Weight Watchers & began training for a half marathon. (I was not a runner)

Now, after one year, I have lost 66 lbs!!! I feel amazing! We just recently had another miscarriage-but, I don't feel as hopeless with no direction. I am training for my second half marathon-and we are going to begin trying for a baby again.

It's really fun to be a "fitmommy"-and I hope that I continue to model a healthy lifestyle for my family. I was a size 18/20 last Christmas...now, I am a 8/10!

Getting pregnant is definitely something out of our control-it is difficult when you do everything by the book with no results! It was great to switch gears & make healthy changes of diet and exercise and see
POSITIVE RESULTS!

I hope this is not to long-I just want to motivate every mom I see now....

Take care,
