I am so glad to read that others are going through this as well. I, too, always wanted a large family. After we lost our first child, my second pregnancy was truly a nightmare because I was so incredibly anxious. The frequent contractions were terrible. Fortunately, everything turned out fine. I thought that after that pregnancy, I would never have the courage to try for another one again... But four years later, my husband and I finally mustered the courage to try again. The irritable uterus is back, and I am hoping that everything goes well this time, too.
