Parenting after a Loss

September Mama's Come In (salsawifey)

I want to know how many of us their are so far. The streak was going so crazy I lost track.

Have you introduced yourself at Pregnant AL?  I haven't yet. I know that not everyone over there has rainbow babies. What's the etiquette? Should I change my profile pic? I don't want to upset or offend anyone.

Are you having beta's drawn? Did you schedule your first appt?

Re: September Mama's Come In (salsawifey)

  • Hello September moms! I did do a brief intro on PGAL. There was a post on here about it not too long ago and their welcoming was warm. Not sure how much I will post there or post here more since there are quite a few of us and Julymomma2u2 started a check in here. :) no betas but an early u/s next Monday which I'm already starting to freak out about. Really praying for a healthy baby. First appt is Feb 12 at 8 weeks.
    It is very exciting how many and how close we are due! Praying for all healthy pregnancies for all of us!

    TTC since 7/10, BFP#1~6/28/11(4wks2d)~EDD 3/4/12, missed m/c(8wks)~8/12/11, D&C~8/16/11
    BFP#2~12/15/11~EDD 8/25/12, Hannah born 8/22/12~ 7lbs 10oz & 21 in. long. :)

  • I don't think PGAL is as concerned with pictures as TTCAL would be. I spent a few months on TTCAL before this pregnancy, so I removed all my pictures but left my ticker, and I just haven't changed it back and probably won't. I know that tickers are fine on PGAL for sure. Some people have pics, some don't, but I have never seen it be an issue on PGAL.

  • I did intro over at PGAL, and didn't change anything. I recall there being a number of STMs on there when I was there the first time, and there wasn't any etiquette surrounding not sharing/showing stuff about their older LO. If there is, I'm not familiar with it, and nobody called me on it.

    I'm having betas drawn on 27 January. I'm a nervous wreck and having a lot of unpleasant feelings about this pregnancy, which I know is bad and unfair. I can't even worry about first trimester PGAL stuff. I'm now too worried about money, space, feelings, everything, trying to take deep breaths and know that things will be okay.

    My blog about raising 2U2!
  • Hi!!

    I didn't do an intro on pgal. I'm on too many boards already. :). I'm on S12 and S14 as well as here.

    My first appt isn't until 2/14. I decided on not doing betas this time around. I'm anxious for my appt. it seems so far away. I have no symptoms at all. I wish something would make me feel pregnant! (Gotta be careful what I wish for!). EDD is 9/22 based on LMP.

    I'm having similar feelings. Worried about money, managing 3 kids, how DS2 will handle no longer being the baby.

    DH and I are just in a weird spot. We've been thinking about selling our house, he's been thinking about looking for a new job or going back to school, I've just returned to work so my student loans can come out of deferment... and a new baby is a good thing, and I know ultimately we can handle it, it's just a lot to process all at once.
