Pregnant after a Loss

On the verge of a breakdown, any advice?

I hate to sound crazy right now but I think I hit my breaking point tonight. This pregnancy has been filled with problems. I am so grateful to be pregnant but so worried and so emotionally and physically drained.

I was monitored closely in the beginning bc of my loss history, then at 22 weeks discovered I had an incompetent cervix and had a rescue cerclage and was put on bedrest, then found out I have a clotting disorder and was put on lovenox injections, and now I'm being told I have preeclampsia.

I was in L&D last week with what they said was the flu but now after a 24 hour urine and Bloodwork it looks like that was wrong. My Bp is only borderline high but I am totally freaking out over all the horror stories I've read. I'm so close to the finish line but keep geting hit with complications. Does anyone have experience with any of this? Any words of advice? I just really needed to vent , all I want is my precious baby here safe and sound but it's so hard with all these problems worrying me :(

  • ((hugs)) I'm sorry this has been such a rough pregnancy. I don't have any personal experience, but I know several people who have dealt with preeclampsia at varying stages. The good news is the survival rate for a baby born at 35 weeks is 99%, that's great! Now that your doctor(s) know about the issue they can monitor you closely. Good luck mama!

    I don't have any advice but wanted to offer (((hugs))). I am sorry you have had to deal with so many scary things. I know we have had a few recent grads diagnosed with pre-e, and their little rainbows though early, are thriving. I am hopin they can chime in and give you some reassurance.

  • I'm so sorry hun. I have no experience, but you are getting there! Luckily your docs have caught it before it became a danger to you or baby. Now, they can treat it. Each week that goes by gives your baby a greater chance of survival. You are almost at viability! Are you still on bedrest? I would just take it really easy.

  • I don't have experience to share, but wanted to send my thoughts and prayers your way. You've been given a tough road to walk, but you're a strong mom and you can do it. 
  • I'm sorry that this pregnancy has been so stress-filled.

    It's good that they caught the pre-e (I'm sure it doesn't feel that way right now but really it is).  It would be way worse if they weren't aware of the situation - now they can monitor you and make sure that both you and the baby are safe.
