(preg ment)

[Guest guest]

,

I know how it feels to loose so many babies, I'll be praying that this

little one is in the right spot.

I've been ttc for almost 13yrs and have had 4 tubal pg and 1m/c which

was probably in my tube also.

Good Luck and keep us updated on your Dr's visits.

A very long story (PG Men't)

to

me

said

I've

sisters,

from
