17+3. Doing good, feeling okay. The last couple of days my nausea has still been persistent but not as unbearable to that's progress and I will take it! I'm starting to get worn out more easily though and it takes me a full day to recover if I overdo it. We found out at my last MFM appointment that Baby B has a marginal cord insertion which could cause growth issues later on but isn't concerning at the moment.

17w2d.  I'm doing pretty good! Just chugging along at this point.  I'm definitely feeling old (I'm 37).  I know technically it's not that old, but it is for being pregnant and I'm tired all the time.  I'm trying not to just be a giant bump on a log at home, but it's sooooo hard.

@gusgus14 Praying all is well and that no problems ever arise because of it!

went for my NT scan this morning. Im 12+4 today. Baby B had no heartbeat and stop growing last week. Baby A seems healthy and is growing right on track, but I'm so sad that I can't save the other baby. I just want this to be a dream or by some miracle the other baby will be OK at my next appointment.

@mrs_massie I'm so very sorry. I know the duality of grieving and celebrating a baby at the same time. I hope you are well surrounded during this tough time. I'm glad baby A is thriving and hope with time you find some comfort in that. ❤❤❤

@mrs_massie I'm so very sorry for your loss. Have you had any bleeding? I posted in the June thread regarding my loss last pregnancy that was like this.  I bled for a month after losing one of my babies. It was really scary, but all was ok.  It, apparently, was blood from the placenta detaching from the gestational sac.  The doctor actually told me that the surviving baby is less at risk now because all resources go to him.  I know that's little comfort, but it's something to hold on to.  Again, I'm so very sorry for your loss.  Take the time you need to process. If you ever need to talk, please send me a message.

mrs_massie

@texas_t no bleeding at all. Both babies had their own placentas and gestational sacs, so baby A isnt affected in any way.

@mrs_massie I'm so sorry for your loss.  I hope baby A continues to thrive.  So many hugs to you

How far along are you?15+2
How are you doing? Alright, still taking zofran, but this week has been a little better.  
Any new or recurrent concerns? not really.  I'm glad my blood sugars have been really good this week.  I'm waiting to hear back from the office on if they will adjust this week.  They have adjusted every week so far. 

texas_t

@mkc3888 I'm so glad your blood sugars have been good! I can't imagine how frustrating all of that is!

I'm 16w1d. I'm doing good. I'm glad my MFM did swabs and sent me for a urine culture so we can rule out infections as these are a common cause for PPROM and are bad for the cerclage. I have no symptoms at all and have been feeling good so I'm confident all is well. I'm waiting for the hospital to call me for my next cervical lenght ultrasound which should be in the next 2 weeks. So yeah I am slowly making my way to my next loss milestone, I kind of just want to be in February already but trying to enjoy the process! 

I have been wondering if I don't have Braxton hicks, but my doctor said that they sound more like little bloating cramps. I feel my tummy get a little bit harder when it happens, but it feels more like it's swelling than tightening... 🤷‍♀️ It is also often followed by gas 😅 Whatever I'm feeling is not painful, doesn't last long at all and happens not more than 3 times a day so I am not worried at the moment, just monitoring every micro sensation in my body 😅

texas_t

@mimser Can you remind me how far along when you had your loss before? What date should we all be praying and crossing our fingers for you? 

mimser

@texas_t my water broke at 20w3d last time. So waking up on January 1st (20w4d) with everything still going well is going to be a big deal. I don't know if I'll feel out of the woods before viability though! Thank you 😊

texas_t

@mimser What a good new year it will be!

@mrs_massie I'm so, so sorry.

@mrs_massie I’m sorry, that must be so hard. Glad to hear that baby A is doing well. But my heart goes out to you for baby B.

@mimser You got this. You’ve been taking all the right steps to keep your bun in the oven!

18+3 
I’ve been trying to eat healthy and not drink too much coffee in the hopes that it will keep Mia’s tilted heart in the normal range or correct itself. I am worried but trying not to stress too much, which has been hard lately. My uncle passed away yesterday and we are heartbroken. I feel so bad for my cousin, who is a year younger than me. So I’m trying to keep myself very busy and distracted with all of the children in my home. While giving support to my mom and cousin. I’m not sure if it’s the grief or just me but I’ve been getting dizzy really easily. Taking the baby aspirin but I often forget. 

Just keep swimming ...

mkc3888

@yellingbanana I'm so sorry! I hope Mia's heart corrects itself.  I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers

@yellingbanana I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. ❤️
