UPDATE! (EBM)

CarolinaGirl2014

Hi again! So the U/S today showed that the placenta previa has resolved! It went from complete previa to well above where it needed to be and everything looked great with baby girl. It was amazing for her future Mom to be there and hear her heart beat and see her wiggle for the first time. I know she was terrified because her U/S experiences were always bad, but this seemed to ease her mind even more. She says she still can't believe this is really happening after all the let-downs she's had. So for those of you waiting, I'm really sorry if my posts are painful to you but I want to also provide encouragement for a miracle after all the hurt.

I am so excited to continue planning my natural delivery the way that my body tells me to do it. I am thankful for modern medicine, but the thought of bed rest and blood transfusions and a c section was not settling well. 

ALSO- I asked you all for advice about a name for baby girl and you all were such a help. While I was talking to the AMom after the appointment, I told her how I was feeling about needing an identity for baby girl but that I didn't want to pressure them. She doesn't want it set in stone until they meet her, but shared the name they've been stuck on and was glad that I shared. The name is Adia (ah DEE uh), which means gift. I LOVE it, and think it's so sweet that they love it partly because it reminds them of Aria and they hope she gets my musical ability.

Adoption isn't all rainbows and butterflies, but there are days and times like these that show why we on both sides go through the pain and heartache.

I'm so glad it went well for both of you, and that things seem more settled moving forward. Thinking of you all as you continue your journey.

That's great news! What a relief for you all.

Have you heard of hypno babies? If your aiming for the natural route I highly recommend it. I laughed at some of it at first but I used some of the techniques and tips during labor and they REALLY helped.

Happy for you that the name conversation went so well. Great name!

I'm so glad that it went well for all of you. Our son's birth parent had a med free delivery and while I'm not gonna say that she loved the experience (she asked for an epi, but it was too late) she's totally glad she did it naturally! I cannot imagine how powerful that must feel! Good luck to you all.

Carolina Girl....I am so In awe of you and all the other e moms and birth moms on the board. I know that this was not an easy decision for you, but the grace and love that you have for your LO is so amazing. No matter the circumstances surrounding our birth mom, I am still in awe of her as well. I hope that you have a speedy and healthy delivery, and a peaceful and blessed life. Our birth mom also had a med free delivery so I know if you want to do it, you can! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!!
