Pregnancy After Loss (October 1-15)

Me too. My dreams are usually a lot less hopeful when it comes to pregnancy.

I feel a lot more hopeful today than I have so far---silly since it was just a dream, but I can't help but be somewhat comforted by it.

Good to hear you girls are feeling movement and feeling better.

Marie-that dream sounds amazing. Have you had any luck in getting an u/s appointment or Drs appointment set up?

AFM-I'm feeling positively awful. Which yes is a good sign but still sucks because I have to function at work and at home with 2 lively kids. The plan was not to tell anyone until past 12w but if this continues I will need help and we'll need to re-evaluate that plan. My u/s is tomorrow but I feel awful enough to have confidence that things are fine. Still-if someone offered me to just sleep through the next 7-8 weeks I would!

m/s is so rough, and especially when you've got other kids in the mix who need you!
and for your u/s! At least feeling crappy is good in that sense!

AFM: I pulled DH aside yesterday and told him about feeling Baby. He was visibly relieved to hear it. He said he's been wondering and worrying about it lately, but didn't want to ask and upset me. I told him not to worry about asking anything - really, there's nothing he's going to ask that I haven't all ready thought of.
We both know this is only a little step, there's still so much that could be/go wrong, but at least this step is in the right direction.

I'm glad to see you're still okay and checking in here


AFM... Back home, had anatomy scan, so far so good. He's a he for sure.

And I love seeing all the new faces. I can't believe how time has flown... I swear this group just started yesterday and now we're already into May/June due dates! As for the dream thing.. I'd take an optimism I could get... even if it comes in dream form! It makes the days go quicker.

Congrats on your boy! Glad things are going well, I was just thinking about you yesterday actually!

Good point! I am happy to have made it to my second pregnancy after loss thread. Two weeks at a time, I can do this

Congrats for getting to that point. I'm looking forward to the time that I'll start feeling tickles. Seems like eons away!

Good to hear you are feeling hopeful. Take it one day at a time until that u/s appointment. Mine is two days later. Hope we both come away with good news!

Hope your u/s goes well tomorrow. You are waiting to see if it is twins right? Sorry you're feeling so icky.

for getting to hear the heartbeat.


AFM: I'm doing good. I've been exhausted, taking a nap every afternoon while DD naps and DS watches TV I noticed I do have a bit of a bump, (if I pull my fat up to see what my belly would look like if I was thin) I can feel my hard uterus when touching the "bump." Only I know the bump is there. Guess, I don't have to worry about the problem of showing too soon, as I never lost the baby belly after DD was born
