December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

[Nitengale]

Felynn. I will say some prayers for you Hun. I agree with the other ladies, I would try to get some testing done. I also had miscarried after I had my DD. it was so confusing. But I have hope you will find your answers sweetie. I'll be thinking of you.

Miss1997: huge congrats on having a boy and WELCOME to the pack! I am having a girl and am due December 17th.

Hi Felynn, its nice to see you stop by and I understand it must be very difficult for you when you think what should still be. How are you, have you had any tests done to find reasons for your losses?
I luckily got tests after my two losses which revealed blood clotting to be the problem. This time around Im on clexane injections each day along with a low dose aspirin and its working.
I really hope you have another successful pregnancy soon x

Hi I am hanging in there. I am still so angry about my loss, I just cant seem to accept what has happened. No I havent had any testing my dr feels its bad luck b/c I have kids. I just dont understand why I hav had 3 losses in 8 months. If its going to keep happening then I rather just be done with it, I can not endure another loss. Thanks, I hope your pregnancy continues to go wellhang in there sticky baby

Felynn, it must be even more frustrating that you've had successful pregnancies and now having recurrent losses. But Ive came to realise after speaking to lots of people that this can happen and it can be the likes of blood clotting that can just start. Or a low progesterone problem.
After my second loss I was angry when I realised that I coul'dve got private testing even after my first. A place close to me does testing for not much money at all. If I were you Id push your doctor for testing and if no luck look into getting the blood tests privately. Its too heart breaking to keep going through it.
Im also on the pregnancy after recurrent losses section of this forum and there are so many women in the same boat as you ie they already have children then recurrent losses and tests have revealed underlying problems. Good luck in whatever you decide x

I have pushed my dr and he still refuses. I am very angry with him. When I first got pregnant I had my HCG & progesterone levels checked. HCG was okay but my progesterone went from a 13 to an 11 and that was at the end of my 4th week. My dr wasn't concerned and wouldn't do any more blood work. I am angry with myself b/c clearly I was able to make babies and carry them and now for unknown reasons I cant stay pregnant. I am about to change insurance companies so that way I can find a better obgyn that will actually listen to me.

Welcome and congrats Miss1997!

---
I'm so sorry for what you are going through Felynn. If it's any comfort, I miscarried twice within a couple of months and the doctor wouldn't do anything. And now I'm pregnant and everything is going perfectly well so far. I was so sure I was going to miscarry. I really hope you get a doctor that will listen to you, but if not, keep hope. I know it's hard. I wish you a healthy baby very soon. xo

Welcome Miss1997!!

Congrats leliana and miss1997 on getting to v day!! A major milestone.

FeLynn, I really hope that you manage to find a supportive doctor who will investigate your losses. It may be something really easily fixed. I hope you will get your sticky BFP very soon.

Congratulations to Leliana and Miss1997 on getting to V day, its brilliant isnt it. You can start to relax that little bit more x

 

[Leliana]

Definitely - to be honest, I never thought I'd get here. To know that my little one has a chance of life without me just proves how far I've come. Feel quite emotional about it but really really happy. I can feel her wriggling around which makes me smile even more

Next step - third trimester!

 

[grenouille]

Yay, I've reached V day as well

Time seems to be so slow now! I want to be in my 3rd trimester

 

[Leliana]

Congrats Grenouille!!

We are so close to third trimester now and then we're on the home straight until birth!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Congrats Greenouille.

Thats how I feel too, cant wait to get to 3rd tri and be on the home straight!

 

[LalaR]

Congratulations grenouille!!

Still 16 days to v day for me......

 

[katestar53]

Congrats to the V Day ladies, so exciting Im so happy to be at almost 25 weeks but I cant help but worry about every little thing I think when you have suffered with a miscarriage it kinda takes away the innocence if you know what I mean. My friends that have never suffered from MC certainly didnt worry as much as I do.

Welcome Miss1997, glad to have you join us

Roll on 3rd tri.......

 

[grenouille]

I know what you mean kate..

My friend is pregnant for the first time, she's 20 weeks right now and last week she was in our hometown (she lives 10 hours away) and her family had a baby shower for her since she won't be around until after she has her baby. It made me so anxious, I wouldn't want to have a baby shower so early. Of course I didn't say anything about it.

 

[love1623]

Congrats on V day ladies I can't wait till I'm there with you !!
I'm the same way girls I worry about everything .. If baby hasnt moved enough everything .. Miscarriages def make you worry so much more

 

[Leliana]

I still worry every day. I am convinced I'll see blood at some point, it's almost like I can't quite believe I've got this far without major problems. I had spotting around week 5 but other than this has been a fairly standard pregnancy in most respects. I am trying to be much more positive in my outlook. I still worry something will go wrong but reaching 24 weeks was really pivotal for me as my little one now has a chance, no matter how small, of making it.

 

[Justkeeptryin]

I think we're all in the same boat ladies. I've been so anxious throughout this pregnancy always expecting to see blood aswell, every trip to the toilet Im anxious. It all just seems to be too good to be true at times.
I definetely agree that reaching 24 weeks is a major milestone as our babies have a good chance now. My mum was just speaking to a colleague of hers yesterday who was telling her of someone she knows whos little boy was born at 26 weeks gestation. He is now 3 years old and doing fine.

People who have never experienced a miscarriage just seem to sail through their pregnancies but its a completely different matter for those of us that have.

 

[Leliana]

Justkeeptryin - that is amazing about your Mum's colleague. Definitely helps give me hope Thanks for sharing xxx

I definitely agree about the blood too, every trip to the toilet is scary. It's funny how much your view about blood can change. Once upon a time, seeing blood was a minor nuisance (oh joy, started my period again!) whereas now I'm borderline phobic about seeing it.

What I will say is that I have never taken a moment of this pregnancy for granted. I have embraced it fully and this child could not be more loved or more wanted. We are definitely all the same in that respect

Exactly!!!

Congrats to all the ladies who have reached V-day, we don't really celebrate an equivalent in the US (that I'm aware of) but I will anyway since I know what it is now! Three days away for me now

 

[Nitengale]

Wow congrats everybody who has hit V-day and to those who are close! It must feel so great to get there!

So here is my 22 week bump, its huge i know
