I went to my first appt today. Im only about 5 weeks along. But they told me they think my miscarriage at 5 months pregnant in May was due to "placental abruption" and that I have a 30% chance of it happening again! (This is where the placenta detaches from the uterus and causes labor. There is no known cause or prevention.)

Im sooo depressed right now. Im being scheduled soon with a specialist who is one of the best in the state and who will work with my high risk OB to get me the care and attention I need. There will be a lot of tests, monitoring, sonograms. Oh, and they recommend I dont work, which I was just cut from my job anyway. Because theres a good chance I could spend a good portion of the pregnancy on bedrest. Dealing with this is going to take a tremendous amount of strength on my part.

Im just sitting here crying. So I have to go the next 6-7 months without knowing if I will get to keep my baby or not.

Well I have an appointment with my high risk obstetrician on thursday. I will update again later.
