any gluten-free mommy advice and prayer greatly appreciated !
God's hands are the perfect place to place your fears. Congrats, momma! This is great news. So many of my friends are pregnant right now, in fact, my best friend just found out she's having twins. A lot of blessings on the way!

2010- Gluten, Soy, Corn, Dairy, Eggs, Nut free. Sugar, non-gluten grains lite(Yes, still plenty to eat!)
2010-Doctor diagnosed me as Celiac then took diagnoses back, then said avoid gluten for life
2009 – Low T3 thyroid hormone, muscle twitching and adrenal fatigue
2006- Elevated Speckled ANA. GI suggested Celiac. Started gluten-free diet, but sloppily
2005 - Thought I had wheat "allergy." Stopped eating bread, oats problem too
College years - Still vegan -sickest point in life. Every classic celiac symptom
Teenage years - Stomach pain prompted veganism -> BIG mistake!
Child - Awful gas, D, C. Chronic infections, appendix and tonsils removed
Congrats! I'm right about where you are. We had an ultrasound last Friday based on my climbing hcg levels (doc said at 5000 they should be able to see heartbeat, I was over 4000 2 days prior to ultrasound) but it was too early to see a heartbeat. We go this Friday to hopefully see a heartbeat. It's very exciting and like Looking for Answers said I know tons of women that are pregnant right now. Baby fever is in the air!

Thank you all but as i am having a miscarriage.. woke up this am with bad cramps and had a tinge of old blood,,by the time i got to the doc i had bright red clots..my cervix is still closed though but the odds arent in babies favor. will know more tomorrow when blood work comes back. it hurts so bad,,but God has given me peace. i will meet this baby one day. either in 9 months of when i get to Heaven
I'm so sorry Rachel, I really hope you aren't having a miscarriage, but i will be praying for you either way.
I had a miscarriage last year and it was really hard. Let me know how you are doing. ~Sometimes life is really hard to understand - it's hard to see what God has planned in it all. I still have a hard time with it at times.
I'm sure it must be hard for you tonight... having to wait for the test results. I'll definitely be praying for you tonight.
aw, so Sorry, sweetie. I truly know how difficult and disappointing this is-- having experienced them myself --and I pray for your health and comfort. Take good care of yourself.

Misdiagnosed for 25+ years; finally DXed on 11/01/10. I figured it out myself. Double DQ2 genes. This thing tried to kill me. I view Celiac as a fire breathing dragon --and I have run my sword right through his throat.
Thanks so much. God is truely holding on to me sooo tight right now..i go back tuesday to make sure everything is done. the pain is sooo so raw right now.
i am blessed to have a hubby that takes care of me and blessed to know Gods love. I have NO idea how someone who does not know God could make it through this

It is good you have such a loving hubby. Hang onto each other right now. You two will get through this, even though it seems impossible right now. Rachel, people will try to be comforting, but will say things to you like "maybe it wasn't meant to be" and "you're young, you can have another"...they mean well, they are trying so hard to say what's right to make you feel better ....(it only made me feel worse). No one "gets it" unless they live it. Truth is, THIS baby is important to you and you will need to grieve the loss. Take time to heal, rest up and take good care of each other. I am so so sorry for your loss. My sympathy to your hubby as well. It is hard, I know. You have strong faith, I can tell. That's a very good thing.

I'm so sorry. I have had 4 miscarriages and each one was heart wrenching. I put it in Gods hands though and it helped me handle it. Hug that husband tight

That's a very good thing.
