Back in January 2008, I posted that my wife was pregnant: > **[My wife is pregnant!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=450789)** > > We just had it confirmed yesterday by the doctor: my wife is pregnant! We’ve been trying for a long time to have a child, and finally success! So we are very excited, but at the same time anxious. Ed However, she later had a miscarriage, which I also posted: > **[Sad news](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=452575)** > > Remember my news from a couple weeks ago? Here it is. Well the sad news I have to report is that my wife just suffered a miscarriage, in her 8th week. I can’t express how bummed we are. 🙁 🙁 🙁 Ed Well, she is now pregnant again. Today we went for an ultrasound in her 14th week, and everything looks good. So we are really hoping that this baby makes it. Ed ---

I’ve instructed my wife to bring this up on her parenting/TTC message board – by morning you’ll have dozens of bouncing animated gifs bouncing around yelling about sticky vibes. Stick, little one, stick! ---

My sister was in the same boat. Got pregnant last year and lost it around the 6th or 8th week. She was crushed. Then 6 months later, in January of this year, she announced she was pregnant again. We were all worried about her losing it again but she’s now due in 3 months and both she and it are doing fine. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. ---

Best of luck! It’s hard to relax and enjoy the pregnancy when you’ve had a previous loss, but I hope it goes easy on both of you. ---

I’m giving you all my sticky vibes! I had a m/c with my first pregnancy, and was very nervous the second time - this morning we went to see that kid in her school play! And now that she has a little sister we’re done, so the sticktoitiveness is all yours. Sleep while you can. 😉 ---
