I am excited about a spring baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1871081 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 07:11:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 1871081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: if it helps, go for it! I'm glad that you are feeling hopeful. You deserve it! </p> <p>@PawPrints: just popping in to say that I am really excited for you, too. And April is such an awesome month to have a rainbow baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1870743 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 18:28:11 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1870743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: congratulations &amp; thank you for sharing. I'm guessing that is not uncommon to not feel ready to make preparations until it feels much more real. I'm glad you've made it past your point of m/c last time, as well as are nearly through your first tri! Has everything been normal for you so far this time around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1870695 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 17:25:56 +0000 PawPrints 1870695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! I lost a baby at 6 weeks at the end of April, but now I am almost 12 weeks along with my second pregnancy. I spent most of the first trimester memorizing miscarriage statistics. Only in the past few days have I started to be able to think of this baby as real, and start reading books and doing preparation for an actual birth in April 2015. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1870629 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 16:17:25 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1870629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I'm sorry for your losses, but so happy you got your rainbow baby! Thank you so much for your kind words &amp; encouragement. I agree, this baby does deserve to be celebrated &amp; we should just take it day by day. I am feeling more &amp; more positive each day &amp; not quite as nervous as I expected to be. I do think I'll be getting one more beta drawn early next week to keep track of the numbers, though. I thought DH would think me silly for wanting to do that, but he fully supports us keeping a closer eye on the progress, however we can. We both look back &amp; feel like we were so naive the 1st time around--thinking it is just about getting the BFP. When we m/c'd my Primary Dr put in a standing order for betas so that I could just come in to get them whenever I needed to... So why not?? :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1869771 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 08:40:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1869771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: congratulations!!! I've had two losses and one successful pregnancy, and I know it is so, so scary. I kept telling myself, right now I am pregnant, and this baby deserves toe celebrated! So I do think it is OK to be hopeful and happy, because worrying doesn't change anything. </p> <p>Feel free to reach out if you ever need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1869578 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 02:26:13 +0000 marionberry 1869578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1869563 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 00:37:43 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1869563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: @Leialou: @BabyMats: thanks, ladies. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868899 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:11:32 +0000 BabyMats 1868899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868892 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1868892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868891 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:08:16 +0000 Cherrybee 1868891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's wonderful news!

I appreciate the invitation. I'll probably venture onto that board eventually...</p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: thanks! I love that one, too! I even shared it with DH Sun when we got our BFP, because he said something like "if you really are pregnant". Today I AM pregnant. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868471 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1868471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: congratulations!! Thats wonderful news! &lt;3 someone told me when i got pregnant after a loss to embrace the "today i am pregnant" mentality, and it really helped through the early weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868468 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:41:06 +0000 Ms.Badger 1868468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: I'm excited to have you join us on the May board when you're ready! Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868460 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:38:19 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1868460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll start... I'm an AMA mama-to-be at 41 &amp; was so sad to have lost our 1st pregnancy at 6w back in May. We didn't feel like we had any particular fertility issues, but also didn't have a ton of time to just keep at TTC until we conceived again. So, we sought out the care of an RE and got all of the initial testing out of the way. DH checked out great, but I have some tubal issues, according to the HSG I got 2 months ago. We were gearing up to try a round or two of a medium stim IUI protocol &amp; even discussing IVF, when we were pleasantly surprised to get a BFP on our 10th cycle TTC! Now, I've gotten 2 beta tests which have doubled well &amp; are WAY higher #s than I had on my first pregnancy. I am super happy &amp; excited, and yet so nervous about getting to each milestone to help ease the worry about getting past each step of growing this baby. I would love to have this safe space to cheer each other on &amp; gush a little since we may be guarded IRL &amp; not at all ready to talk with friends, family &amp;/or co-workers. :happy: :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/temper-my-enthusiasm-or-celebrate-with-me#post-1868402 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:10:18 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1868402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies! First of all, I want to acknowledge that I am posting in a delicate space &amp; in no way do I want to gloat or cause any hard feelings. On the other hand, I was hoping to find an appropriate audience with whom to celebrate the mini steps toward success that those of us post-loss may relish even more than those who've been so fortunate to have an easier time of getting/staying pregnant. </p>
