Q: Almost 19, Second Pregnancy.

Hi ladies. As the title says, I am almost 19 (will be on oct.18th), and i'm 5 weeks pregnant. I just found out. This is my second pregnancy; sadly, I lost a baby on april 14th of this year. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I have been with my bf for over a year and things are great between us. To be totally honest, we are extremely happy that we're pregnant again. We've both been having a hard time dealing with the loss of our first baby, who was a son named benjamin, and this gives us something happy to look forward to. The problem is that I am so anxious about everything now. I'm just so nervous about this pregnancy because of what happened last time. Anyways, I guess that's it. It's not really a question or anything, i'm just looking for other teenaged moms to chat with, maybe even someone who might have an idea what i'm going through. It would be nice to make a few friends online because we've only told my 3 closest friends about the pregnancy so far. We havent even told our parents yet because last time, we told everyone so that we could get it over with, and we just had to turn around and tell them about losing our baby. I don't think I could go through that again. Anyways yeah, thats it. Thanks.

Hi there I lost my baby girl a month ago. Feel free to pm me any time you want to talk. Remember, every pregnancy is different and there is nothing to indicate that this pregnancy won't be perfectly fine.

Good luck sweetie :d

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I can't wait for this one. I feel like, after all i've been through, I deserve to hold a baby in my arms. Only 35 more weeks! Ha! Anyways, a little more info about me for you guys: I live in ontario, I go to and work at nipissing university, which pretty much gives away that I am from north bay. My boyfriend is karl... He's welsh, so we have welsh names picked out... Either anwen or arien for a girl, and we're not sure for a boy yet but the top four names are aeddan (pronounced aidan), evan, garreth, and hadyn (pronounced had-den). Thanks again. Smile

Hi .Emilie! Welcome to the forum. I'm .Kristina! I just turned 20 &.I'm pregnant with my first- but this is also my 2nd pregnancy! My first pregnancy .I miscarried, &then miraculously fell pregnant again (literally) 2 weeks later. It's been a bumpy road, &.I know exactly what you mean about being anxious &super nervous. I was a nervous wreck for almost the whole first trimester. I still get the heeby jeebies sometimes, but .I'm 16wks now, &everything is going great. The same will be for you. Everything happens for a reason! Congrats on your miracle &pm me if you want to talk to anything!

Hi emilie! I'm whitley Smile . I just wanted to say don't be nervous about losing the baby. Thats only gonna stress you and the little one and that isn't gonna help at all! I'm 26 wks pregnant with my first baby (a little girlie!), but this is my second pregnancy. Last time I was only 6 wks and miscarried. I was so worried this time until I got into the 2nd trimester. I didn't tell anyone but my mom and my best friend until I started showing!

What part of ontario are you from? My boyfriend is from stoney creek. I'm from tennessee and we met when he and his twin sister moved here to go to university.

Well I hope everything goes well with your pregnancy. Just take it easy and try not to worry. I'm sure everything will be okay. ~*hugs*~

Congrats on your little one.

I too lost a baby. Hunter was born at 26 weeks and didn't make it. His little heart wasn't strong enough and he passed away. I recently had my second baby .Amelia she is now 12 weeks old. My whole pregnancy I was crazy thinking that I was going to loose her too. She is beautiful and the light of my life. I just wish that I could have enjoyed my pregnancy a lot better without all the worry. I ended up having the perfect pregnancy.

I jus have to say that you need to enjoy your pregnancy and not stress about loosing this baby. You'll do great.
