  • @ruby696 I’ve been thinking about you a lot. I’m glad you had fun with the tree and Christmas lights. Does your two year old leave the tree alone?

  • @meatballs37 So far she's been okay, but she also hasn't been left alone with the tree yet. I have very little faith in her ability to resist temptation when no one is looking  :D
  • @sparklingdiamond uh oh that doesn’t sound good. Do you guys have any idea what it could be? I’m sorry you’re going through problems with your brand new house. It shouldn’t be that way! 
  • @nmbrcrnchr1 and @dntstpbelieveing Good luck at your appts tomorrow!

    @meatballs37 Honestly I cut a lot of those people out of my life.  If they don't even try to understand I just didn't want to deal with it.  It's harder if they are closer family members or friends I know.

    1. How many weeks are you? 9w 6d

    2. Previous loss(es)? 1 MMC in May 2018

    3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? So worried. I also feel like I'm waiting for the bad news. Last time around, my symptoms just abruptly disappeared and I knew. An ultrasound confirmed and I had a D&C about a week later. I'm worried it's going to happen again. I had serious lower back pain most of this week. My symptoms have been steadily decreasing which I know can be normal but also I know that it can be a warning sign. I'm getting nervous so I emailed my doctor for an ultrasound appointment just to see if things are still progressing. I should hear back tomorrow. Otherwise my next appointment isn't until Dec. 10.

    4. Any appointment updates? Dec. 10 or sooner

    5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Just feeling anxious and feeling like the close friends and family that know I'm pregnant this time around are thinking that I'm over analyzing everything about this pregnancy which I probably am. 

    6. Any milestones coming up? I've passed the point that I miscarried last time. 

    7. GTKY: what was your favorite subject in school (highschool/college)? History and I went on to major in it in college.
  • @srscott3 I have been wondering where you have been. You have been missed big time. I’m so sorry you have the news about your heart. I don’t think the way you are feeling is selfish at all. We all deserve to be able to decide on our own when our family feels complete. I’m hoping the ER doc was wrong, and the specialist will be able to give you more accurate statistics and information.

  • @srscott3We must have posted at the same time, because I didn't see yours.  That sounds really scary, I'm sorry you're having to deal with that right now.  I hope the specialist has some reassuring news for you.  I don't think it's at all selfish to be disappointed; we all have a vision of how we want our families to turn out, and anything that gets in the way of that is a blow.  Hopefully the cardiologist has a different opinion.
  • Thank you all so much. We haven’t told my parents or any other family yet. We don’t want to scare them until we know for sure what this means and we can answer all their questions. My grandpa had two heart attacks in his life. The first was when he was only 36, and he thankfully survived. But he passed away from the second one 8 years ago this Christmas Day. It’s a really sensitive subject with that part of the family.

    So I’m basically sitting here googling too much and working myself up over this. I’ll for sure feel better when I see the cardiologist. Letting it out with all of you really helps though, so thank you again ❤️
  • @sparklingdiamond As an attorney, I second what @srscott3 said about getting an attorney. I'm certainly not an expert, but common sense says you've had way too many issues for a brand new house. 

    @srscott3 I'm so sorry. There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but just know I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best.

    @eleven_ I've fallen hard and been in car accidents with DS and DD. Its terrifying, but everything was fine - they are so well protected in there. Hopefully you get some reassurance tomorrow. 

    AFM - thank you all for the well wishes. I'm not very optimistic (it's easier not to be), but I'll update regardless.

  • @dntstpbelieveing thinking about you and your appt today! 
    @sparklingdiamond I’m sorry for the stress and the house problems! That sucks and I hope they are able to fix it quickly for you
    @runy696 you have also been in my thoughts and I hope so much that tomorrow brings you good news!
    @kjr9519 I’m sorry you’ve been struggling. I feel the same way about making it past 12 weeks. I hope you can find some peace before your appt
    @srscott3 I was wondering where you had been! I’m sorry you had to go to the ER and for their diagnosis. I hope the cardiologist visit will give you the answers you need and that it won’t limit your family plans
    @bumblebee0210  re the linea nigra. Some days mine is darker than others. And honestly I don’t even remember when it was noticeable with my DD. I always thought it was an odd “sign of pregnancy” bc it doesn’t seem like a consistent thing. I don’t have one today but I’ve noticed it a few times the last few weeks. 
    @meatballs37 I’m glad you took today off, enjoy your snuggles with DD and I’m sorry your work will probably penalize you for it, that sucks!
    @eleven_ it’s at 2 CST so about 4 hours from now. We did get quite a bit of snow and ice so I’m working from home before my appt. I cannot focus today so it’s prob good I’m not in the office!

     
  • @eleven_ I forgot to add my clumsiness comment...I’m sorry you fell, I also fell during my pregnancy with DD, well more than once but once around 10 weeks and again at 30 weeks. Their main concern is with placenta abruption bc the baby is so protected in there. Maybe you know this already but figured I’d share
  • Ugh you guys I just scheduled my NT scan with the MFM.  It's next Monday and I already feel like having a panic attack over just scheduling it.  This is a huge milestone for me and I am so terrified.

    @srscott3 I am so sorry to hear about your heart.  Was this not a problem with the first pregnancy or is it something that just developed later?  I hope you get some answers soon.

    @srscott3 and @ruby696 I have never worked with an attorney.  That sounds expensive.  Do I have to pay just to meet with one?


  • @nmbrcrnchr1 Yes, I did read that placenta abruption is the main concern and the chance of it happening at 12 weeks is extremely rare. Of course I had to go and read about experiences of it happening at 12 weeks like a fool.

    @sparklingdiamond Agreed with everything @ruby696 said. It’s going to depend on the attorney as to what their fees are. By chance, are you in Texas? I can ask for some recommendations for attorneys on our Texas Lawyers Facebook page. People are really responsive there. I can PM you any results. 

    Eta: also agree about the statute of limitations. I think it starts to run when you knew or should have known about the defect. 
  • Oh and @sparklingdiamond no, this wasn’t a known issue in my first pregnancy. It’s possible that pregnancy brought it on or also possible that it’s something I’ve had and it was maybe missed. Should find out more answers when I meet with the cardiologist. 

    @eleven_ I missed the post about your fall! I’m so sorry and I hope you’re okay!
  • @srscott3 I’m hoping for the best for you and that your doctor doesn’t say this should be your last pregnancy.

    @meatballs37 and @nmbrcrnchr1 thanks for the support and understanding. I know that I have no real reason to worry, but my MMC really did some damage on my ability to just be able to relax and trust that everything is okay.

    @meatballs37 I seriously hope they don’t do any corrective action, those all sound like very legitimate reasons to call in to me.

    @eleven_ I hope your appointment tomorrow can give you some peace of mind about your fall. It sounds like it was really scary at the time.

    @sparklingdiamond I’ll be thinking of you Monday.
  • @srscott3 I hope the cardiologist sets those fears at ease. That is a difficult thing to cope with especially when its unexpected. I think we always feel the need to be grateful but sometimes it helps to acknowledge that it just sucks. My cousin had an unexpected emergency hysterectomy with her second. She had a hemorrhage that almost killed her.They had always planned on having 4 kids and she was devastated. She would never talk about it because she was grateful to be alive and she felt selfish feeling sad about not having more children. But it is so important to acknowledge that you can be grateful for one thing and still sad for another. 

    @kjr9519 Sorry to hear about your rough day. They’re the worst. Hugs to you. 

    @sparklingdiamond Sending so many positive vibes to you and hoping for an uneventful scan next week. ❤️
  • @srscott3 that’s really scary. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope your appointment with the cardiologist clears up any questions and sets your mind at ease. 

    @eleven_ thank you for your kind words! It really helped. I hope 11 weeks is my magic number too! I’m so sorry you fell. That’s really scary. Send me all your ice and snow ;-) 

    @meatballs37 I’m glad you decided to call in and take care of yourself. That’s good self care! I don’t like the attendance policy of your work. It’s not forgiving at all. 

    Im going to be checking back frequently to see how everyone’s appointments went! I’m thinking of you all. 

  • @srscott3 Yes I am in TX. The Dallas area more specifically.
  • @carleym93 I am so sorry
    to hear about your cousin, but I am so happy she is okay. Thank you for that perspective and for sharing. That’s exactly how I would feel ❤️

  • 1. How many weeks are you? 12w3d

    2. Previous loss(es)? 1 CP, 1 termination 

    3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically I feel pretty good, I have this pelvic fullness which is kind of bothering me and something I plan to mention at my appt tomorrow.

    Emotionally its a different story. Being a termination mom is just a whole different ball game. Even though I know I made the right decision with terminating a pregnancy that could have killed me, I struggle with every pregnancy afterwards with feelings of unworthiness. I feel like I don’t deserve healthy babies after doing that and its so difficult to reassure myself that its okay to be happy and excited about a healthy baby even when others are having losses. My OB referred me to a counselor who specializes in pregnancy and postpartum and I think talking to her will really help me work through these feelings.  

    4. Any appointment updates? My next appointment is tomorrow and I’m actually really nervous. 

    5. Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing this week

    6. Any milestones coming up? Nope

    7. GTKY: what was your favorite subject in school (highschool/college)? Psychology. It was my minor and still something I LOVE to research when I have the time.
