Pregnant Again

 Yesterday marked 28 weeks of my third pregnancy. My second pregnancy ended in miscarriage last summer which was super sad, but I learned alot from that time as well. Getting pregnant again after a preemie and a miscarriage has brought anxiety from day one. There has not been a day of this pregnancy that I have not worried about ending in miscarriage and then after viability, worrying about a premature birth again. 

Getting past the 28 week mark was a huge relief for me, even though it is just one day past that mark. There is still a real possibility I can have an early delivery, because I am having blood pressure issues that can slide into preeclampsia at any time.


If there are any mommas out there that have been through this, then you know how hard it is to choose joy amidst the anxiety, but definitely try to choose joy in each day. I also understand if you had a preemie before and don't want to try to have another baby because these last two pregnancies were both a surprise. We had not decided we wanted to be pregnant again because we knew what could happen. Know that whatever you decide it is ok.


We will be so excited for baby girl to be here, no matter when she gets here.

I go in, get blood drawn, do the urine test, and they are checking my blood pressure. Blood pressure comes back high. They check again and it's high again. I did not know this was the beginning of a wild roller coaster. They also found protein in my urine and sent me to the hospital f...
