Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September - October 2011

The Mrs - First one was on Monday and was 27384 and the second one was on Friday and 55300

Alish, sorry you are leaving. I tried to PM you but it didn't work so I guess you've signed off already... Best wishes if you do read this thread again.

Belly rubs to everyone...

Hi Ladies,

It has been many moons since I was in this thread, can not believe I am here again. Some of you are going to hate me and hate what I am going to say and I am so sorry to start with, because it's people like me that make me angry...

I lost my first baby and was devestated, thought I would never get over the loss of my baby, then I feel pregnant with my goregous cheeky very indenpendant daughter, who had her 1st birthday in September. She is our joy. DF and I are meant to be getting married in March next year, 5 months away, almost to the date....

We found out yesterday that we're pregnant...... and all I have done since is cry, cry because it's a miracle (ill explain later on why) cry because we have to change our wedding date, cry because HOW DID THIS HAPPEN>??? Cry because I am terrified to think i might lose another child, having felt so much love with Audrey I am terrified beyond words what i am going to feel if i lose this baby i dont know if i will be able to come back from that...... lossing 2 babies.....

My DF is in shock, we haven't really talked about it - in fact we haven't really talked at all.... I am lost for words, i am just scared....

This baby is a miracle, when i was 17yrs old i was told i had a 7-15% chance of having a baby naturally. Then I fell prengant, miracle, then I lost her. Fell pg again carried her to full term and she our living mircale This baby, we were using protection, I wasn't ovulating, wasnt in my fertile week, wasnt meant to fall pregnant! I keep thinking how did this happen and this is why i think you will all hate me becuase i fell pregnant while using protection and not trying... I just feel so numb ...

Thanks for listening to my rant.. I'm going to go back and read some other posts from you ladies and get to know you better - sincce hopefully I will be here for a while.. I want this baby as does my DF we're just in shoc right now and just have no words

Hi everyone--
I have not been posting because we just found out that I am going to miscarry again. At our 6 week ultrasound, there was no heartbeat.
Just wanted you to know, as I won't be posting. We won't be able to try again until after the holidays.
Please pray that I stay strong. We are going to look into adopting, but we aren't good candidates because of my husband's age (and the fact that he has had cancer)
We need prayers.

S&S- I am so so sorry...:(

Hi Lovely Ladies

S&S ~ (((GBH))) so very sorry hun, you will be in my :pray: GL with the adoption and when you have another try ~ never give up hun!

Lysndan ~ thanks. Hope you are doing well. I went to the Melb Show to help my mum with cattle - well a small amount of help this time only, and then in the middle I went to the Deniliquin Ute Muster :) so not really a very relaxing holiday but I did have a great time and tried to take it easy.

Blondtress and Dentri ~ know exactly how you are feeling - all the anxiety, but you'll get through! one day at a time. I'm still a little anxious every now and then especially when I get headaches or lower back pain but then a new day comes and everything seems to be ok again. Fingers and toes crossed for you and :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

Alish ~ you may have left but if you do read this - really hope everything is ok - hugs

The Mrs ~ everything crossed for you at this tuff stage! you'll get through!

H.P.L. ~ Dont feel bad and no-one should hate you because we all deal with losses differently and obviously yours had a huge impact on you. I hope you start to feel better about everything soon and that everything works out for the best. Best of wishes!! Hugs

Sorry to anyone Ive missed and I hope you are all well.
AFM ~ Bit anxious again last day or so as Ive right now got a bad headaches and Ive been getting some tummy cramps and lower back pain - nothing too bad but I can't help to get a little worried over the symptoms even when I nearly 10 weeks and getting closer to the 2nd trimester. I saw the OB few days ago and my next scan will be 28th Oct - I'll be 12.1 weeks - can't wait :) next week I'm having the BT for downs syndrome.

Loops- If it makes you feel better, it is completly normal to have tummy cramps at this time from the uterus doing so much currently. I had cramping up until 12 weeks

Houston...We have a heartbeat!!! 123 bpm, looking good, soooo happy and relieved, still not terribly excited until end of next week and we will be having 1 more at 8 wks 2 days cause we lost our last one at 7 wk 6 days, today we measured 6 wks 5 days which is spot on! Woot! Slight concern, there is another teeny blob in the sack, could not find a heart beat in it but it was very close to the wall and may just be a projection of the placenta ...or it could be or have been a twin, they are not sure at all and only time will tell apparently, I will be seeing my obsterician next Friday after my next ultrasound so she may be able to tell us more, good luck all, I hope your's are also beating away :)

Well, a lot of good and bad news going on in here!

Alish, sorry to see you go, I know I've missed you, but thought I'd just add that anyway.

S&S, so sorry to hear the news - is 6 weeks too early to say there's no hb? I'm trying to be a positive thinker for you and hope they got it so wrong, but I am sending you all the luck in the world for your adoption push, all kids deserve parents who love them regardless! Maybe fostering is a good place to start? But I don't know anything about all that. Good luck!

HPL - I hope you can take your handle to heart! Hope, positive, love. Obviously this BFP was meant to be there for a reason. And yes, we all deal in different ways. I still think I should have been ahead of all my friends instead of behind, but here I am bringing up the rear :)

GL for your scan Loops! I hope you see one great healthy bub in there :) I had cramps too in my first trimester.

blondtress - awesome news :) Gorgeous hb on your little bubby.

AFM, I spent last week up at my Mum's place celebrating her 60th after a busy weekend with DS's 2nd birthday. Phew. It's all over :) 5 more days at work and it can't come soon enough really. I'm getting ready to have this baby out. On the RLT twice a day now, about to ramp that up a bit more. Now to decide about EPO or not. I think we're ready in the house to bring another one home :) Three of my friends/family had babies last week, all very exciting! One has a similar name to what we've picked for our bubby, so hopefully they're not annoyed when we don't change our mind.

Getting lots of BH and this baby just doesn't stop moving!

Hi all just wanted to stop in and say hi to all.

I have been tired and really stressed today did not help. I feel like the worse mom in the world. Today Honor and i went out to the store when i came back i put her down just to set the bags right next to her and she went to reach for something when she did she rolled and fell down the flight of stairs. There are 14 all together i totally lost it i started to scream. When she got down to the bottom i picked her up she was not crying the nighbor came over and she took us to ther er. The whole time i was getting contractions. I called her father he was going to meet me there. When i got there i was still crying the nurse took her from me and did the whole triage thing. They brought her back and as soon as she got to a bed she started to jump and laugh and play she has three bruises on her head and we have to keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours. I feel as if i cant do this. I cant help but feel as if i have failed her as a mom. Sorry if this is just a me post but i had to get this out

OMG Angelfish, I hope she is ok, I would be so freaked out - I think anyone would! Try not to worry too much, kids are so resilient, they fall over and bumped their heads many times in their life, she will be fine :) big hugs for such a traumatic experience! xxoo

Oh Angelfish- That sounds so horrible and crazy. I would feel the same way..glad shes ok :(

Angel, it's so massively scary when they get hurt - or you think they might have! A friend from mothers' group had her baby roll off a very high bed, my little man pulled a heavy glass bowl onto the tiled floor and wound up with stitches (while I was having the miscarriage, I wasn't thinking clearly when I put the bowl down, felt like a huge mummy fail), umm, another friend's little boy tore the skin next to his boy parts slipping in the shower... Not to belittle anything that happened to you - I certainly would have freaked out too, you have every right to, just saying you CAN do it, it happens to all kids and as blondtress said - they're resilient, I am sure she'll be fine. I hope you can put your feet up tonight and take a deep breath! :hug:

THankyou all for your kind words she seems to be doing well. But i still have flash backs of the whole thing.Went in for a scan yesterday and the other baby is doing well i got to see her again. I cant believe i hit the 28 week marker and heading to 29.

I hope all is well i dont see anyone posting for a while

Yes, it's a bit quiet in here :) I'm still in the boring part of pg where nothing's happening except for a whole lot of alien movement! 35+2 and feeling about 45+2, ready for baby to come out even if it's not ready to come out yet :) No, happy to wait a few more weeks, not feeling quite ready at home - I don't think it's really real yet, how weird is that! I still need to do so much - pack bags, put the car seat in, get the bassinette emptied (it's made up, just has a bunch of stuff in it now) umm, get an insert for the pram, put a skateboard on the pram for DS, spring clean, do all the normal stuff - oh and enjoy the last few weeks of this pregnancy!

Hey everyone.

I had my hospital booking appointment yesterday (in Perth hospitals they don't do this until after 20 weeks) so I'm all booked in, but they didn't have time to give me a tour. :( so ill have to go back and have a quick look. They run the tours on a Saturday and that's when I work :( boo...

Anyway, I scored pretty poorly on my depression and anxiety test as expected, I'm at higher risk of developing PND after bubs is born.

I've had what I think as Braxton hicks over the past few days. Tightening with a bit of pain. But it goes away pretty quickly. So that's good.

The midwife at the hospital was lovely and explained quite a lot in regards to why ill need synto injection to speed up delivery of my placenta during birth. Apparently it reduces risk of bleeding after birth and being iron deficient they don't want me to lose much blood.

Anyway just under a week to go until I have my monthly OB appt. I might find out what we are having if my OB can give me a scan and bubs cooperates this time lol

Hi Ladies
Thanks for the reassurance and support about the cramps, finding they are coming and going now so am assuming everything is normal. Neraly 1 week until my 12 week scan YAY!!

Angelfish ~ hope you are feeling better after the stairs incident - must have been very scary. I'm sure these things happen all the time - dont feel bad, the main thing is she'll be ok. I'm not a parent yet but they do seem to be quite resilliant! Hugs.

Wannabemum ~ not long now though ~ hope the time passes pretty quick. all the best!

Lysndan ~ sorry about your depression result - things may be fine though, its probably only a minor idea. GL at your Ob appointment, hope you can find out the sex.

Hope everyone is well! GL for scans etc. :bellyrubs:
