Pregnant after a Loss

I Hate This

Limbo sucks arse. For ten days I've basically been in the mindset that I'm not pg. Not even that I'm pg but the baby isn't growing, just flat out not pg. I still avoid my pg nonos, but that's it. I'm so mad I can't at least enjoy the time I have with this LO. It's like I'm ignoring that this little baby inside me exists. It sucks and I hate it.  

I'm tired of being mad when I get symptoms. I don't seem them as hopeful, I see them as annoying. Every time I feel m/s or constipated I literally get mad at my body and ask why it's flucking with me and giving me these symptoms if there's no baby growing in there.

I wish it could be different, but I think losing 5 babies has turned my heart, or at least the wall around it, to stone. Oh yea, and I actually walk around thinking and saying to DH that we've lost 6 babies already. My heart isn't even giving this baby a chance, and that sucks hard core.  

Screw you universe.

  • I know how you feel, afaid to get your hopes up in case they get dashed on the shores of reality. But hang in there lady! It's not over until its over! I know you've had losses but THIS pregnancy is not those ones, it's a new one and it might just work out.

    huge squishy hugs

    (((HUGS))) love...  just huge (((HUGS)))

     

    can you ask to go in earlier? I just wonder if its worth trying. 

     

    I actually had the option of going in this week, but chose to wait for Monday. Our reasoning was that we really need to know if this kid's heart is going to start beating. By the measurements last time, consistant growth would put us at 6w4d on Monday, and we should see a heartbeat. So we'll know, one way or another. It felt like a better choice than searching for growth this week but knowing we were still in limbo for another week waiting on the heartbeat. In a way, I think we were just trying to avoid multiple more bad u/s.

    I am so sorry you are going through this. Limbo sucks. We had to deal with that for a little over a week after we found out Baby B's heart rate had slowed way down and wasn't growing properly. It was miserable and I would never wish it upon anyone. ((Hugs))

  • I'm so sorry that you are in limbo! Its such a horrible place to be... I had two losses... With this pregnancy I started spotting at 5 weeks and bleeding at 6 weeks... An ultrasound at 7 weeks didnt detect a heartbeat and it looked as if there hadnt been any growth... My OB wanted me to get a d/c... but I decided to wait and do a follow up at 9 weeks... The two weeks leading up to my follow up were horrible. I still avoided the pregnancy nonos... but I was sure I had lost a third baby... But at the follow up, there was a healthy 9 week baby with a strong heartbeat...

    I'm sorry you are going through this, but I am praying that you have a good outcome and haven't lost your baby.
