Pregnant after a Loss

Friday First-Tri Check-in

Okay ladies, I am so not technologically inclined and I'm having trouble figuring out how to make this thing that was sent to me work. It's not happening right now, and I don't have time to mess with it at work this afternoon. So, I apologize for not having everyone's information in here but I thought we could just do a QOTD and check in with eachother anyway. Better than nothing, right? Embarrassed

QOTD: What are you most afraid of giving up/losing once the baby is here?

Re: Friday First-Tri Check-in

  • Well, I already had to give up the most important thing in my life to date (other than my family of course) which was my horse and competitive riding. But I'm also worried about giving up my job if I decide to do that - part of me would love nothing more than to that, but it's scary to think of losing my income and giving up a job that I've had for 13 years that has such flexibility and time off. Also a little afraid of losing some of my friendships since a lot of my friends don't have kids and won't be having any.

  • u/s appt update-The appointment on Wednesday went ok.  We saw Baby S and a heartbeat of 120bmp!  Dr was a little worried about how Baby was measuring, she said I should have been roughly 7w and Baby only measured at 6w, but I'm not too concerned since I Od late.  We go back for our second u/s on the 20th.

    What I'm worried about giving up/losing?  I'm not really sure.  After losing Noah I don't really feel like anything other than this baby is more important or can't be put on hold.  I think we've all had that reality check.  I do miss my multiple Diet Cokes a day though!  I am down to just one like a good girl.

  • Thank God I'm not the only one! ?I couldnt figure it out, it kept screwing up on me and with owning a business, having 3 kids already and doing the work to open my nonprofit art school, I was freaking out and didn't have time to fight with it.

    NO WORRIES MY DEAR! ?I think Ellen was just a computer genius!

    I think this is definitely fine!

    I'm doing great. ?Feeling a little less nauseous today.

    I am most afraid of my step daughters feeling like the baby is taking time away from them. ?They've had a real rough few years and are doing so well now, I don't want their progress to get screwed up.

  • I feel like I have lost some of my freedom with my dog which I got 5 years ago. I am currenty not going to the gym right now which used to be my life but I have come to terms that I will not have as much flexibility with my gym time but I am ok with that too. I am ready to give up my life for this little baby and completely fine with it.....I just really can't wait to be a mom!
  • I feel like it will be giving up weekend vacations. DH and I take several a year and I don't know that we will want to take a baby on them for a few years... Plus, they usually involve wineries or concerts in big cities, not exactly baby friendly.

  • Things are ok here, I couldn't wait 3 wks for my next u/s so I moved it up to next week. We are telling the family this weekend and I'm getting a little stressed wince we are nearing our previous loss point. I'm pretty sure that once we get to 10wks I'll feel a little more relieved & once we get to 2nd tri I think I may actually be able to start enjoy being pregnant. Otherwise, I'm just trying to keep myself occupied so my wandering mind and what-if syndrome doesn't get the best of me Smile

    QOTD: I was just getting back into dance (jazz, ballet, etc) after taking a break for a few years. I'm thinking I just won't have time once our LO get's here.

  • update: first appt was great. hb was 162 bpm, measuring 6 days ahead, and was able to make out the head. it was great. i already have one but when we had her it was the being able to get up and go without having to pack anything.

    Update: Had my first appt with my OB today- was a complete waste of time. Though I do now have my next 3 appts. scheduled- I have an u/s in a week and a half, my bloodwork/pap appt that same week, and then my next monthly appt. She didn't even check the HB today- if I didn't have my doppler, and the ability to check it for myself, I would have been mad! Ok, I lie, I would have just demanded they check the HB.

    QOTD: Nothing- already having a kid, I think I've given up all I can! LOL. I'm looking forward to being able to drink again though!
