Trying to Conceive after Late Loss, Still Birth or Recurrent Miscarriage June '08 #2

[Katiegirl]

Hi all - haven't been around much but am trying to keep up with all the posts.

Rozzie - glad to hear you got some answers and an action plan for future pregnancies. It is always hard to hear that your previous dr didn't do the right thing - but that is in no way your fault. Be proud that you have done everything you can to ensure that your future babies have the best fighting chance. You will be a mother soon. I know it sometimes seem so far away and you are rightfully impatient, but your next baby is just waiting for the right time to come and join you.

Hammi - big hugs on receiving Hamish's birth certificate. I know it must have been hard to see but it is more proof that your baby existed and that he was important. EDD are hard, do you have anything planned to remember Hamish?

Hgirs - big hugs on Cooper's approaching EDD. Do you plan to do anything? I actually found the couple of days prior to the EDD a bit harder than the actual day. I felt quite peaceful on Nathaniel's EDD, and I think it is because DH and I took the day off and did some special things to remember him and then went on a holiday for a few days. It was something we had planned months before as we decided we didn't want to be at home thinking too much over those dates.

Jen - good luck with this cycle

Sryan - I hope all goes well with the biopsy. Let us know once you hear more.

Tildy - my sister had 3 children before she had her first loss at 17 weeks. She then had no. 4 (or rather Preg. no 5) and then had her final loss (which was pregnancy no. 6) around 14 weeks. They did not find any problems with either of her babies - just like Nathaniel. I too take heart from the fact that she has 4 wonderful children - though of course she will always miss her angels.

Hi to anyone I have missed. The baby is still moving around nicely. I am completely fed up with work and my motivation is at an all time low. I can not wait to finish up - and have decided that I will finish up the first week of September. I will commence my countdown!!! I still haven't told work yet - I don't get any paid mat leave, so I will actually be quitting. I am going to be a SAHM for the forseeable future, so I didn't see the point in taking mat leave. As I am quitting, do you think this means that I only need to give the usual notice - 2-4 weeks?
