Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Just got the news yesterday....
I am 22 wks pg and my baby is not growing. He is the size of a 18 wk old. My OB said his heartbeat will stop eventually and I will have to deliver the baby. The OB thinks there may be something wrong with my placenta, but they are not sure. I go back in 3 wks for another u/s to see if he has grown and if not, I am going to be admitted to the hospital and given steroids to see if that helps. Also, my fluid is low so I guess all around, this pg is not going well. I cant stop crying and I have been told to just rest and drink lots of water. I cant even drink anything. I feel so depressed. This would be my 2nd child and the first pg was a breeze compared to this one. I am trying to think maybe he will make it but with 2 OB's saying they dont think so, its hard to stay positive. My 5 y/o keeps asking why I am crying and if its because the baby is going to die...OMG, I am such a mess!!!!

Re: Just got the news yesterday....
I am so sorry for your sadness and frustration. These ladies here have helped hold me together during some dark times. I think my new favorite thread is FFFC and has helped me gripe without consequences. HUGS to you.
Can DH help explain to DS what is happening. When my parents had to talk to me about death (if that becomes your case) they read me "The Fall of Freddy the Leaf" If helped me understand some of the mortal stages in life.
Good luck and we are all here for you!

I am so sorry that you are going thru this. I lost my son at full term and just had a miscarriage a month ago at 8 weeks. It is so hard and unbearable.
I also have a 3 year old and 5 year old that I had to tell that we were not going to have the baby afterall. My 3 year old didn't get it, but my 5 year old was upset and still talk s about it a month later. I understand how hard it is to have to explain somehting like this to a child, especially when you don't understand it yourself.
My thoughts are with you, your family and your baby.

Oh hon, I can't imagine. All you can do at this point is rest and pray that he is a fighter and that he will make it through. You have every right to be a mess.
I sincerely hope it will have a good ending. I will be thinking of you.
