Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[miss_kseniya]

Oh Buddy my love, I'm so sorry to read this news. I feel devastated for you hun. Huge, huge hugs to you and your OH xxx

I'm so, so sad to be writing this, but unfortunately it was bad news at our scan today. The baby died at around 9 weeks (must have happened days after our early scan, when we saw the hb). We're obviously just devastated by this; my heart is broken right now.

I know that time heals though, and eventually we'll recover from this. I thank God for my beautiful, happy, healthy son and just pray that one day we'll be able to give him a sibling.

Thank you so much for all the support through the past 12 weeks ladies; I'll be thinking of you all and wishing you the happiest, healthiest pregnancies and will still share in your joy come November.

Good luck and loads of love to you all xxx

I am so so so sorry. I was just reading another post of a girl that lost her baby yesterday at 23 weeks andy heart is just sunk in my throat for all you girls. I can't believe how long they give us between appointments because of exactl your situation. I have been so worried about thinking everything's fine until I go for one oft month long appointments and find out differently. I am so sorry and I won't say I hope your ok because I know that will take time but I hope you find strength to get you through. I'll be praying for you

Hi ladies, just came across this thread. I know a few from another thread.

I'm due on the 8th November although I have to have a planned birth so it will probably be a little earlier. I'm high risk as I have had 6MC, the majority at 10-12 weeks after a healthy bean and heartbeat was seen. I'm being treated for a clotting disorder from BFP but as I am in the unexplained category it's a shot in the dark. I also have a septum which the doctors are now concerned about as the size of it wasnt as obvious before my uterus started to get bigger. Life just likes sending me challenges!

I have one DS in between all the heartache so I'm praying this will also be a rainbow for me too.

Looking forward to getting to know you all xo

Buddy - I am so sad and shocked to hear this. I am so sorry for your loss... my condolences to you and your OH. My thoughts, heart and prayers are with you.

 

[BubsMom17]

Welcome AngelSerenity! I am praying for you and your rainbow! Looking forward to getting to know more about you!

 

[BubsMom17]

For all you babywearers - I used the Moby last time but I found it a but of a pain cuz it is so long and I couldn't quite get all the holds down quite right.
Have any of you used the Infantino carriers? They just look so convenient!

 

[zowiey]

Buddy, I am so, so sorry. Sending lots of love xxxx

 

[MandaAnda]

Oh, buddy. I'm heartbroken for you. I hope your body and heart heal soon. I'll be thinking of you.

 

[MandaAnda]

BubsMom, I wouldn't recommend anything like an Infantino or Baby Bjorn, as they're not ergonomically shaped, so not good for you or baby really. If you like soft structured carriers, look at things like Ergo, Beco and other buckled versions of a mai tei. They do make stretchy wraps that have some if the work done for you, such as a Close Parent Caboo. Again, I always recommend getting to a sling meet, as there are a good variety of carriers to try. In LA, you should be spoiled for choice.

 

[gardenofedens]

Oh no buddy! I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine. Makes me even more nervous for my scan this afternoon. It's been 6-6.5 weeks since my last appointment.

I used a moby with dd and she loved it. I was really nervous about it and didn't know any other baby wearers but I watched some videos on youtube and figured it out pretty easily. I switched to an ergo for convenience and better back support around 5.5 months. We still use it daily now at 9 months. I don't go anywhere without it.

Welcome Angel S

Garden- good luck for your scan!

Well, afm, after an 8 month wait, my GP has phoned to tell me that my placenta was never sent to be tested. I feel completely lied to, on several occasions the hospital confirmed it was being tested and this is also what they said to my GP. I feel totally robbed of any answers as to why my baby died, I will never get answers or any kind of closure now. Devastated.

 

[lovehearts]

Lora, there are no words
How dare the hospital lie to you and your gp about something like that. I am truly shocked. I do hope you can heal and find closure. Massive massive xxxxxx

 

[teacup22]

So sorry buddy. Hope time can heal for you and you can have your rainbow baby soon x

Lora That is completely unacceptable. I'm so sorry you were lied to and now won't have answers

 

[LoraLoo]

I personally think they either lost placenta or lost the results will probably never find out. Im requesting my notes. Im just going to panic even more through this pregnancy now.

welcome we love new people in here and we will love getting to know you. I am Due November 05ish. I am a Type 1 Diabetic and I will most likely be having out little peanut earlier too. How is the pregnancy treating you thus far?

 

[peanutmomma]

ok, so good day everyone, I have been catching up on here. Now, I can better respond.
When you all say baby wearers do you mean as in not using a stroller/pram? If so we will probably be doing just that. Thanks to my ex-husband I can not fully close my right hand and properly grip anything to lift it without almost dropping things. I have two different carriers so far. I know we MUST have a car seat for baby peanut, but I will most likely be carrying or daddy will be as I can not pick up a car seat with both hands high enough to put into a cart or anything. We tried at a few different stores with many models and obviously they were empty. So, adding a 6-9 lb. infant will be even harder. Since I can't lift that properly then try to imagine me lifting a stroller/pram! The pictures are the two I have. The one with me in it was taken at 7 weeks pregnant. Wow can we say bloat?
AFM- personally, I have not felt anymore possible movements so maybe I was just lucky or it weasn't really movements. Yesterday was a very long day for me. I thought I was dealing with the stress of the day well. It started all nice and sunny. I put on this real cute pant outfit one piece thing, put earrings in and went to the store. Dropped off a note on DH windshield of the truck. I was in a great mood feeling well. Then, I get a text from DH brother. Their dad forgot to pay the electric bill before going out of town yesterday. So, it was disconnected. I had to call their mom in another state, call DH at work to see if he could get an advance from work. All in all we finally got enough money to turn it back on. But, we had to pawn a lot of things . Then, when the mail came I had a $4K bill from the hospital. Seems they forgot to enter all of my insurance info. I fixed that pretty quickly, but I also got as letter from the state stating they have record of me working for two days in the beginning of March and need my pay stub by monday or my insurance is cancelled. The problem here is that I NEVER got paid from that job!! I have given up fighting with the company. Their last excuse was that I was not entered into their payroll system so I won't get paid. there is no proof. But, obviously there is proof if the state knew I was working there. AHH!!! I was a bit upset but didn't really fret I just did what I could do from my end on everything.
About 30 minutes after I was done on the phone with everyone, I started to shake like felt light-headed and exhausted. This lasted for about 45 minutes or so. Everyone kept telling me to calm down and not stress because I needed to think about the baby and stress isn't good for the baby!! I didn't think I was stressing I was not happy but I was not emotional or anything. It was just more crap to deal with. I always figure things out one way or another. It has been like this all of my life. Then, I was wide awake til 3am?
Anywho, sorry for the ramble. I just kind of found everything comical because I didn't feel all worked up and didn't even complain about the whole situation so why was everyone fretting over me?

Oh, we did have Chinese food for dinner and for a change I was able to eat all of my food instead of a few bites then being full. So, maybe baby is being nicer to mommy and I can start to eat meals again

 

[BubsMom17]

Peanut - My reason for babywearing is really more for conveniece. I don't want a double stroller (my son still uses the stroller for long days at the zoo or long walks, etc), and for being able to do stuff around my house and handle my son while still being able to be hold LO. Also, I learned that things like grocery shopping, walking the dogs, going to the mall, etc are so much easier with both hands available!

 

[peanutmomma]

yeah, I always wanted to carry baby for the same reasons as I want to be able to have baby close and still have free hands. Plus, I have read that baby is more comforted when being held because they can hear your heartbeat and will feel like they are safe in the womb again. It could be false, but I read it somewhere.
