Pregnancy after Late Loss, Recurrent Miscarriage or Stillbirth ~ November 2010
Welcome to Pregnancy After Recurrent Miscarriage/StillBirth/Late Loss.
This is an exciting time but also one that can be filled with anxiety and concern. The aim of this forum is to provide women who have suffered from recurrent miscarriage, still birth or a late pregnancy loss a place to meet and share experiences. Many women in this forum will be on medication which brings in itself many questions and areas where support is needed.
We wish you a happy healthy pregnancy and look forward to sharing and supporting each other through this time... The journey is often really challenging but the prize in the end is worth all of the hardship...

Laney ----- OMG! I just saw your ticker.... I am soooooooooooooo excited. I have been in my own bubble and not on bb, like you, but cause we had visitors. As you already know, the fear never goes... but not much longer of having to endure it before you are holding buuba in your arms. I want to thank you for helping me through my pregnancy with Haannah. It was tough for me and you always had a kind word or words of advice for me. Helped me through no end, so thankyou.
Hope you feel better soon.
All good here....H smiles a lot now and not always randomly... even contextually... so cute.
Beata - hello! I agree. But my own family don't ever really mention Amelia, Nicholas or Sophie either. I do, but it doesn't seem to catch on. I think people assume because you have an eathside bubba that the angels are no longer as important. For me they are moer so.
Hi Ladies! I had my appt and ultrasound today. They are estimating bub weighs a massive 9+ pounds already. Weird because Grayson was only 7 pounds 7ounces a nice average size. It looks like he is going to stay snug until my c-section next week. I was really wanting the doctor to tell me that I had to go up to the hospital today no such luck.
Also! I think that I had mentioned my dh's cousin had her baby a while back when she was 26 weeks pregnant. He is almost ready to come home from the hospital! He had a lot of ups and downs but is doing really well now. He just has to learn to feed a little bit better. He gets really tired out after a bottle.
dory, I am glad that I was able to help you through the roller coaster ride even a little bit. I wish that I could tell you that it will be easier on you next time....but nothing can take that fear away. I really wanted to enjoy being pregnant this time around because it might be my last....there is just no way to get the innocence back.
Laney - seems the stitch sisters are growing big babies in 2010 ! Hannah weighed 10 pounds exactly! Good luck next week... what date is your c section? I agree, never can get the innocence back... seems we just have to muddle through.
Aargh don't say that Dory!! Kaitlyn was only 6lb3 - would be a bit of a shock if this next one was massively bigger
You certainly grew a nice big bub. My niece was the same size at birth as Hannah and poor SIL laboured for hours and hours until they realised it just wasn't going to happen naturally and she ended up with an emergency c/s. Turns out bubs head was facing the wrong way so SIL never got more than 5cm dilated and the poor little girl was born all swollen with the marks around her head where she had been wedged
SIL is now pg again with number 2 and hoping for a VBAC this time so fingers crossed this bub isn't much bigger!
Laney - yay for a great scan! 7 days to go now?? Yippee!!
I have my u/s tomorrow morning...hoping sooo much that all this lying around has achieved something good. This time last pg with DD I was in the hospital so we are already a step ahead but that could all change tomorrow. I was 3.3cm last week so keep your fingers crossed for me girls that any shortening is minor. I think as long as I stay above 2.5cm my ob will let me stay home so I will let you know how I go.
Had my scan this morning and my cervix has GROWN!!! We are back up to 4.1cm (at best, 3.8 at worst). What a relief!!!!!!!!
So no hospital for me at the moment yay
I will continue doing what I am doing for the next few weeks as it must be helping and my next u/s is at 24 weeks.
Laney - just popping in to wish you all the best for tomorrow (the 10th wasn't it?). Can't wait to hear of the safe arrival of your little guy & hope it all goes well!
Hii guys!
i seem to have lost you all when this thread started!
we are plodding along nice here.. 37 weeks today! just 3 weeks till my c section! i am so nervous now. I am even having trouble looking in my belly buddies group now.. a couple of them have had bubs and are about to and i cant bear it.. all i can think of is that there is still 3 weeks for something to go wrong with my baby and how could i sit back and watch these lovely ladies having healthy live babies if soemthing was to happen. Please tell me im not some weirdo freak... that someone else understands??
We had a bit of drama on friday too, i went for my normal app and the Dr wasnt happy with my bl;ood pressure so she sent me up to maternity to have a CTG and get BP done again.. Bub was not happy apparently, we had 3 non reactive CTG's before they finally got a reactive one on the 4th go (took over 2 1/2 hours all up tog et a reactive CTG) so now i am freaking out. They had to do alot to get him to have his little accelerations too.. they were poking and proding and made me drink really cold lemonade and they even used an electric razor ( just layed it on my belly) to make noise and vibrations.
man why does this have to be so hard
mo4, what you are feeling is very normal. I still have a hard time going into our belly buddies forum for the same reason. I really wanted to be an active member but it was just too hard for me.
If you need to take a trip to the hospital everyday to check on bub...then do it. I had some issues with long ctg's with Grayson and I always went back up the next day. I would have been a total mess if I didn't. They are there to help you through this.
Jo, tomorrow is the big day for us! We are a few hours behind you here in the US. I will be having my c-section about the time you are going to bed on the 10th. The news will most likely be posted on facebook first. If you PM me I can add you to my list.
I am really starting to freak out a bit about the c-section. Very nervous to say the least. It was not the greatest experience. I had a bad reaction to the spinal and was vomiting for 12 hours after Grayson was born Leaving Grayson for the first time is not going to be easy either. DH will be spending the nights at home with Grayson and my mom will help me out at the hospital. It is a strange feeling being at this point again. I am trying very hard to relax and only think of the positive. I think that I might actually be more nervous this time around!
hi ladies, Brexton August was born on Nov. 10th at 11:26am. He weighed in at 8lbs7oz, a bit less than expected! I am feeling pretty good now but was very sick after the section, once again. We are home and trying to get some rest. will be back when i am in a little less pain.
Laney - Congratulations on the safe arrival of Brexton. I am so sorry to hear you were unwell again after your c section. I am surprised you are home from hossy so quickly. I am sure Grayson managed but is glad to have you home. Get some rest sweetie. Go gently.
Mo4 - I soooo know what you mean. Until Hannah Bear actually made it here to my arms, I had all the fear in the world that something would go wrong. Just try to go gently on yourself in these last weeks of the pregnancy, and boy do I know how tough that can be! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong, not long now and these feelings will be a distant memory. I had a few CTG's like that with Hannah - they do scare you witless huh? Never had the electric razor though - I thought they were prepping you early for your caesear!
JLK - Teyha is looking just gorgeous now.
Jo - any more scans? I reckon your cervix is going to get longer in the next scan!
All good here. Rough morning from about 3am, but I am getting much better at handling them, and then just when I thought there was some respite at about 6.30am, Hannah woke up crying, a really sad heartbreaking little cry.... sort of a mhwaaah, rather than a scream or more lusty cry. She doesn't normally wake up crying like that.... it happens about once a week or so. Last night she had wind so maybe it's a follow on from that? At least I am able to soothe her and get her back to sleep. Precious little child. Anyway, got some errands to run. Belly rubs to all who still have their precious passengers and baby cuddles to those who have their precious bundles in their arms.
