Pregnancy After Loss (October 1-15)

[ingrid5699]

Triple combo of meds already (including Zofran though I can use more if I need to but then the side effects set it) and still super nauseous and puking. I consider myself lucky because I can pretty much self treat my HG and get all the meds I want. (insurance won't pay for Zofran here though so I pay 5$/pill...) Need to research more on the hypersalivation because that's horrible this time and makes the nausea so much worse.

We had a loss this past April. We are currently 9 weeks and 5ish days pregnant with our rainbow baby, due May 8th. So freaking out about this pregnancy. I don't even think that getting to 12 weeks is going to help me feel better! Come on May 2013!

Welcome! Glad you found us, but sorry that you needed to. We all freak out here every now and then so you're in good company. Do you want to be added to the list on the first post of our group?

Sure, that'd be great.

I'm QUEEN of freaking out - just go look at my "threads started" history, lol.

lilbitcrunchy just told me about this group, anyone mind if I join?

I have a 6yo dd and a 3yo ds. I had a miscarriage around 6 weeks in between them. I just found out last Thursday that I'm expecting again. I had a beta done and my levels are 33.4 today and I'm 3w6d (super early!) I was so nervous when I was pregnant with my ds after the miscarriage. It hasn't gotten any better this time around. Every cramp, every ache...every stabbing pain freaks me out. I'm just praying that this baby sticks and I don't have to go through that emotional roller coaster again.
I understand that if I didn't have that miscarriage then I wouldn't have my precious ds, whom I adore so very much. He is such an amazing little guy. I couldn't have asked for a better son. but I still miss my bean.

Also, my names Ashley!

Marie I am already using my Momma cloth for the same reason. Thankfully my progesterone suppositories are white but I leak terribly and I too get blistery rashes from disposable liners. I invested in cloth pads and liners during DD's pregnancy and they have been awesome for many reasons. No idea how you bleed after birth but I definitely use all kinds of pads because my bleeding goes on for a while and tapers on and off so I got use of the liners too. Elena-YAY for daily movement! Erica-sorry you are still bleeding. How frustrating and how scary! AFM-still feel like crap. Hyperemesis has set in which is good and bad. Good because I never had it with my loss in February and bad because obviously I don't want to tell everyone yet and have a VERY hard time functioning. Trying to hold out until my appointment on Friday to tell my parents-they live close by and will help out as much as they can once they know.

After my 40 weeker I bled for 7 weeks, the last 4 were barely spotting. And my 23 weeker was 4.5 weeks of bleeding that was mild after the first week---definitely need to get mama cloth with as much as I miscarry. It's get lots of use even though I love my Diva Cup!

Zooming by with and sticky dust for you all.... so glad to see a thread like this exists (wish it had been around when I was expecting) - hang in there ladies; one day at a time, you'll get there!!!

First appointment tomorrow. Will be getting an ultrasound for sure!

Please, God, let baby be okay!!!

Also, any other previous preemie moms get irritated when someone refers to their 7lb+, 36 week baby as a preemie?

My SIL went into labor with her daughter at exactly 36 weeks on the same day I was admitted with my 23 weeker. Her FB Posts this week are all about how her "preemie" is a year old (the day before my son's one year birthday, had he survived) and how hard he had to fight being a preemie and all...

I want to set her on fire. D's birthday is on the 11th (Thursday) and she's been going on and on---and I did too when it was Smidget's birthday when he was one---but does she really have to claim that her daughter was a damn PREEMIE!?! If she'd had ANY NICU time at all (she didn't) or been small or born before 36 weeks, it wouldn't bother me, but SERIOUSLY!?!

And she sent my an invite to the party---on my dead son's birthday---even though I live 3,000 miles away!

This week is going to suck. Hope tomorrows ultrasound injects a little joy into an otherwise God-awful week and DH will be working 5am-9:30pm ALL week (he has tomorrow morning off for my appt, though).

Yay glad you found us! I had a six week loss between my first two kids too. When is your next beta?


Thinking of you today Marie !!
