Pregnant after a Loss
1st u/s... relief... and a comment
I posted on the October 2010 Moms board.. you know, trying to be a "normal" pregnant person, but even though I got over 100 views, I only got 2 responses. Same thing with my intro. Maybe they think stillbirth is contagious. I guess I need to stick around here and not venture there.
I had my first u/s on Friday. My anxiety level was through the roof b/c the last time I had an u/s, I found out my son's heart had stopped beating at 36 weeks. Everything about this appt was scary for me... the waiting, seeing the screen, etc. We didn't hear much of anything that the tech said except "look, there's the heart beating". We got to see our rainbow baby and everything looked good. The baby was measuring right where he/she should be and the heartrate was 122bpm. I'm trying to let myself relax just a little and be a little excited, but it's really, really hard b/c I know firsthand that there are no guarantees at any point during the pregnancy.

Re: 1st u/s... relief... and a comment
I'm glad you are feeling some relief and that you had a good u/s!
I kind of like checking out the November board-but I just don't think I can quite handle the naivete. I can't imagine announcing to anyone I was pregnant based on my beta numbers. That's why I love this board!
Congrats on the great u/s! tI can be so nerve racking to wait and see...
I love this board and don't really post anywhere else...unless its to update the wonderful ladies on TTCAL...
Keep posting here and keep updating us!
That's great news! The sight/sound of a baby's heart beating is so beautiful.
I think it's so sad that so many of us can't enjoy so much about pregnancy. It's totally understandable, but still so sad. I am one of those that lives in fear so much of the time.
Congrats on a great first appointment! It sure does take some of the stress away.
I still go on TTCAL and see how everyone I know (a dwindling number) are doing, but otherwise pretty much stick here. It is a great board and has the same feeling of support to me as TTCAL did.
Missed m/c 11.09 | Missed m/c 3.10 | We miss you & love you so.
