Posted by Michelle063007

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here but I did spend quite a bit of time on the TTC after loss board. In June of 2011 we found out that I was pregnant for the first time. We were thrilled as we had been trying for almost a year. I went in for the initial consultation appt. and everything was fine. They scheduled an u/s for a few days later but I started spotting before the u/s. When they did it, there was no heartbeat. I had a D&C the next day. We were devistated but the doctors said it was just chromosomal and I was fine to try again. We despirately wanted a baby so we started trying again and I got pregnant again 2 months later...only to m/c again at around 6 weeks before any doctors appts or u/s or anything. I asked the doctors what was wrong with me but they insisted this was just bad luck and everything was fine. We started trying again and found out I was pregnant again about 5 months later--actually took the test on what would have been my first due date. We were elated...thought that was a sign that it was meant to be. Started feeling sick and sore breasts and everything. First u/s was great--strong h/b. Had another u/s at 9 weeks. Everything still looked fine. Then started spotting at 11 weeks 3 days. Went in to the doctor and had another u/s only to find out the baby stopped developing around 9 weeks. Scheduled a D&C for two days later but the next day at home I lost everything. DH rushed me to the hospital where I nearly passed out and they did a D&C to get any leftover tissue but they said the baby was gone. This led us into a variety of tests over this past summer--genetic tests, ultrasounds a HSG, bloodwork etc. After finally seeing a second specialist he told us he thinks I need a blood thinner to help the placenta attach properly. So, I was finally able to get pregnant again. They started me on progesterone and letrozole. I am 15 weeks 3 days right now...due Sept. 21st. Sorry for the long intro story to get me to my point...which is: I'm terrified! I know I'm out of the first trimester so I'm a little safer now. I also had u/s every two weeks during the first trimester and everything was always good--measuring good (even measuring a couple days big), strong hb etc. I have had no cramping, bleeding, spotting anything to tell me that something is wrong but I just cant get it out of my head that something is going to happen to this baby too. I want to be happy and excited and bond with my baby but I just cant seem to get happy about it. I know worrying is not helping but I cant help it. I need support from people who have been there. How did you get through your pregnancies without losing you mind? I'm sure I'll feel better once I can feel the baby move but right now I dont have anything to tell me that everything is fine. I graduated from the specialist so no more every-two-week u/s and my first appt with the regular doc is one week from today. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind before that appt. gets here. And even when it does, I'm going to be so scared that they will not find a hb. Help me keep my sanity

Thanks for listeningView Thread

Posted by Mandy_Smiles

Hello! My name is Mandy and I am a PAL grad. I had a miscarriage in April of 2010 at 13 weeks along. I found this board and it truly got me through. I started on the Web Md first tri board then moved to the Web Md loss board and then to this board and now I am on the PAL Grads pro board. Wow, what a lot of board moving! LOL! I had a d&c after our loss and then became pregnant a few months later with our oldest daughter Gwen. It was a tough pregnancy with a lot of complications, resulting in about 14 weeks on bed rest. Then we had Reese when Gwen was 16 months old. I can't say that my pregnancy with Reese was any easier (emotionally) than my pregnancy with Gwen. Once a woman loses a child, her innocence is lost changing the face of pregnancy forever.

Now I have a 22 month old who's vocabulary is off the charts and thinks she is a lion and fills my house with lots of beautiful and loud roars and a 5 month old who rolls around everywhere and chews on anything and everything put in front of her.

Although I have 2 beautiful children, I still ache for the baby that we lost. I found myself this very morning calling my doctor to ask if they have on file what the gender of our baby was. They have already told me that they didn't run those tests, but I felt the need to ask again for some reason so this morning I picked up the phone and made the call. They told me the same answer, but I feel better knowing that I called and I am not wondering anymore if they didn't tell me at the time because they didn't think it would be "healthy" for me to know that information, know what I mean? So, I will never know, but it doesn't matter because I will meet our angel in heaven someday. I truly believe the baby we lost is a guardian angel to our girls.

I lurk on here quite a bit to see if there are any other women who are in need of the same encouragement that I needed. This is a safe place to come to vent, cry, scream, laugh, worry, and just get out all of the crazy that comes with pregnancy after loss. I just wanted you all to know that I am here, waiting for someone to listen to, someone to encourage. This board was a lot more active when I was pregnant so I hope that the lack of activity is due to less losses rather than fear of stepping forward and introducing yourself. Don't be afraid! We don't bite! I know there are others lurking out there! How about EVERYONE who is lurking introduce yourselves. Basically if you find yourself reading this post, tell me about you and what brought you to this board. Lets get some activity going on this board again!
