Hellobee Boards

@GoGoSnoGirl: Thank you!!!

@HappyBluebird: welcome & congrats!! Lots of luck to you that all is well with baby.

@HappyBluebird: FX for wonderful news in the coming weeks!

@LulaBee: Hugs and congrats! We're here for you. The beginning stages are really hard, but it does get easier the further along you get. I won't say that I don't still have my moments, cause I definitely do, but at 22w, the anxiety is much better than it was at first. I'm sure it won't go away until the baby is in my/your arms, but it will be worth it. Congrats again!

@GoGoSnoGirl: @ValentineMommy: @FliegepilzHut: thanks ladies!

@LulaBee: congratulations! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way

@LulaBee: First off, congratulations! Second, I'm SO sorry you're having to deal with this. It just sucks that it's not like you go through a loss and it's over. It screws with everything going forward.

I'm afraid I don't know your history, but was the cause something that you can take steps to avoid this time? Like in my case we had an early genetic screening done, and lots of ultrasounds for peace of mind. Or Dandelion's loss was during labor, so they planned an early elective c-section to avoid that entirely. I find it helps if I have a plan, even if things like the screening aren't a guarantee. I also found it helped when it was really bad to journal about it, some of which I also shared on here. Getting it out in writing helped me stop dwelling on it so much, and having the support of the ladies on here helped me feel less alone in it.

Feel free to vent all you need! Or if you want to wall me (or any one of us on here, I'm sure), by all means do so. Lots of hugs!

Popping in to say hello to you all, I've been lurking a few weeks now I got my BFP in March, currently 6 weeks along. I had my miscarriage in December, and will be seeing my OB for the first time next Wednesday. Feeling a anxious, nervous, excited, still quite don't believe it til I see it!

@Jess1483: thank you its in the March POAS thread. I was in the July due date boards for a short time last year, but had a miscarriage at 9 weeks. We waited til 3rd cycle post d&c to try again, and now due in late November. Hopefully everything is where it should be and growing safely, will have an ultrasound in the OB's office when I see him.

@Torchwood: Well, I had a subchorionic hematoma that was quite large... had some bleeding in first trimester that was very scary. Was just told not to exercise, on pelvic rest, etc. I saw my MW and high risk doc every week. Then one day when I was 22 weeks and 6 days, I felt a sensation like a tampon was coming out of my vagina (TMI, sorry) so I went to see MW. They did an ultrasound and saw that my cervix was funneling. She manually checked me and my bag of waters was down, about to come out. So they wheeled me to L&D at hospital and I was told that I was in early labor, that they couldn't stop it, it was probably due to an infection in my uterus caused by SCH. We made the decision to be induced as the high risk docs said if we waited infection could harm me... even though we knew our son wouldn't make it, I got induced. He was born at 23 weeks 1 day, and he died in childbirth. His name was Henry. It was/is so incredibly horrible.

So I'm going to see the high risk doctor tomorrow to check for a clotting disorder- had an appointment already scheduled to go, but unexpectedly found out I am pregnant yesterday so I moved it up. I'm not sure what the game plan will be, so I hope they can give me some answers. Don't think I would survive another stillbirth. I had a miscarriage last March, and don't particularly want to go through that again either. I guess it's easy for me to get pregnant, just not stay pregnant.

Thanks for the support, everyone. I haven't even told my parents yet that I'm pregnant, it's so good to be able to come to this community and share and feel supported.

@ValentineMommy: That's great news that your SCH reabsorbed! Mine just kept growing. When I delivered it after my son, my husband said it was almost as big as he was. But my situation was not typical. Good luck to you and your rainbow baby.

@LulaBee: I just read this...I'm so sorry for your loss.

How is everyone doing? I'm 21weeks+ and FINALLY feeling movement! Little guy's heartbeat sounded good today, too. I wish I knew how to just relax and enjoy pregnancy at this point..I still feel irrationally nervous at times.

@simplyfelicity: thanks lady! I've been laying low on some of the boards, I have my early ultrasound tomorrow and I'm extremely nervous! Hopefully if all looks well I'll feel a slightly better joining in.

@Jess1483: I still think about our loss, too. I will always miss the babies I lost but I am so head over heels for this little guy.
@FliegepilzHut: Yay for baby kicks! It helps SO MUCH once you feel regular movement. When it's been a while, I get a little nervous and he starts kicking up a storm eventually. It also helps being past viability and knowing that every week his chances are better.

@simplyfelicity: That must be an amazing feeling! So exciting!

@LulaBee: I can't even imagine I'm so sorry you went through that.

@FliegepilzHut: Yay for movement! It's the best, isn't it? It's at least reassuring, but I still find myself irrationally worrying about something going wrong. I'll be 24 weeks (viability!!) on friday!!!!

@HappyBluebird: Good luck at your u/s!!!

@simplyfelicity: @ValentineMommy: thanks ladies! Just got back from the US. Unfortunately we didn't get to keep any pictures since it was too early to really see anything other than the gestational sac. But the US tech days everything looked exactly at it should for being so early. So hopefully we'll be getting another US soon and we'll see more

@FannyMae: hope your appointment goes well!

@HappyBluebird: Good news!

@HappyBluebird: I'm sorry you're having to deal with more stress! I googled it (cause it's always safer for someone else to than doing it yourself), and it does seem pretty common to not see the pole at this point. So fingers crossed and sending lots of positive thoughts to you! Hugs!

@HappyBluebird: That I can't help you with; I'm terrible about not freaking out. Mostly I use distraction- video games or baking usually. Maybe yoga or meditation?

@HappyBluebird: It always works for me!
