Hey ladies. A week ago one of my dear friends lost her baby at about 19 weeks. It would have been their first son (they have two older girls). They were over the moon to finally get a boy...then couldn't find a heartbeat. She was induced and he was a perfect little one...6 oz. 7 inches long. Obviously they are devestated by the loss. Please keep them in your prayers. They are doing a private service tomorrow for him.

My heart aches for her and her family. Before I was born, my mom was pregnant with a little girl and also miscarried at 19 weeks. She described it all to me and I can't even imagine what my mom or your friend went through, but Ido know how big our God is to help heal their wounded hearts and comfort them during this time.

My son just took his first steps!!! Now I know that's a normal step in a child's development, but when my son was just a few days old they were preparing us for the worst. And if the worst didn't happen they were preparing us for a son that would be in a wheelchair all his life not able to speak or walk. But God!!! But God!!! But God!!! But God always has the final say. He has healed my son and made him whole.

HisGrace , That is really a great news! May God bless him...

Hello ladies!

Can I join this group? TTC number 3 for over a year now. Took us 18 month (and 3 failed rounds of IUI's) to conceive our DD.

Just saw FS yesterday; going in for ultrasound tomorrow (cd 11) to see how my ovaries look, make sure they are ready and looking good to release that egg! I'll be getting my bloodwork done one week after O to check progesterone/estrogen levels and DH has his SA next week.
Ready to get this show on the road!

 

[No Doubt]

Hisgrace, that id amazingly wonderful news hun! So happy for and your family! Praise God for making all things possible!

Welcome Raye! Praying everything looks good for the eggies!

HisGrace - That is AWESOME! Praise God!

Cupcake - If you can take ibuprofen, take two about 30 minutes before the procedure. I had more cramping with that than my HSG, but I'd forgotten to take the meds that time.


AFM - My friend is not doing well at ALL. I found out that her employer wouldn't give her paid leave for this, since it wasn't a "child's death" (where you get certain berevement leave) and it wasn't a "birth" (since he was technically a miscarried stillborn). She's using her vacation time in order to stay home for 2 weeks to recover from the labor and grieve. I'm just LIVID. How on earth can they not give this woman time off. Worse of all, they talked it up as the baby going to a "better place" (they have a toddler who can't quite understand, but she gets heaven and Jesus). The toddler announced at dinner that she was glad her little brother died and went to heaven. She didn't understand why Mommy ran off in tears from dinner though. I'm praying my friend decides to go for some counseling...she needs to work through these uncharted waters.

Thanks Pro wife for the advice.

Welcome RayeAnne

My sis-in-law is in a similar situation as you. She has 2 beautiful little boys and has been trying for her 3rd for about 20 months. She did get pregnant after a year, but sadly ended in a miscarriage.

Praying that your body reacts as it should and that you will release that perfect egg

I guess depending on where you live, we have what is called, "family medical leave act" in which we can take up to 12 weeks away from work, but it isn't with pay, it will just keep your job secure. Is there anything like that where she lives?

I still can't imagine and am praying that God touches her body and the right counselor will come along, if she chooses.

Sarah - She could use FLMA to retain her job. However, employers are also required to give a certain amount of bereavement leave for a child's death and a certain amount of paid leave for maternity since she's been there long enough. They are opting for neither since he was a premature stillborn. So, she has to use vacation that she accrued to be able to spend time with her daughters in order to grieve her son's death. Sickens me that their HR department is treating her like this.

 

[No Doubt]

Pro she should fight that. I'm sure there is specific language somewhere. She did technically give birth. Terrible how heartless people and companies can be. I'm wo sorry for her.

 

[ProfWife]

If she gives me the word, I'm going to the news sources about it. Bad media gets things moving, normally.

Oh, I see. That is so sad. Lord, please show up in this situation!

Sarah - How are you and those precious babies doing??
