Where's all the good stuff??

chapmanwedding · May 2010

I came on here right now looking for all kinds of good updates, but most seem to be sad...what's up with today? Something in the air??

Makes me worry because I've been spotting...dr said it was normal and to just rest, but I still worry.

T&P's are with everyone!

Cute ultrasound pic, mine looks just like that with a tad bigger head.

They said I am just turning 10 weeks, weird because its like fully formed.

I LOVED seeing my baby hitting me & kicking all around like he or she was doing jumping jacks. I cried, most amazing experience.

Today has been really sad. I am so sorry for all the ladies going through losses. I cannot imagine how painful it must be and my T&P are with all of them.

I agree - what a horrible day for everyone. It reminds me how precious every day we have with our LO is.

I actually went to the doc this morning due to a lot of pain and cramping, and we were able to see the heartbeat and doc said everything looks good. Even released me to go to my normal OB now.

Just another day to be thankful for.

Nothing's in the air. Some ladies have had miscarriages and it sucks. But I'm no fan of "something in the air." It perpetuates the weird fear women on 1st tri have about opening and responding to miscarriage threads and it's sad.

The saddest part of all is what's in the air is a normal part of pregnancy for a large portion of the population - according to my doctor as many as 30% of early-detected pregnancies end in a loss.

I know its sad about today or any other day I hear someone has lost a baby. Thats why I refrain from complaining about how much things bug me & this & that really annoying feeling. Those feelings are the baby & the hormones & if my baby is still making me that sick that I am happy to have it. I hate when people complain about pregnancy.

Thank you Grr

Hugs, sister. Seriously.

I hate, more than anything else in the world, seeing people post their terrible, heartbreaking, terrifying, world-changing news and seeing hundreds of reads and only a few comments. It happens because people have some weird sense that reading about miscarriage means it might happen to them.

And the thing is, I was once one of those people, so I don't find it unusual or unforgiveable. But the best we can do is to do what we can to support the ladies going through it AND make it well known that miscarriage isn't "in the air." Referring to it as that is just. . . heartbreaking in a way that I guess a lot of people won't understand.

This is a hard day. We should say that. Today was a hard day for first tri. And all of us should do what we can to give those ladies support.

ETA: Also, to the OP: I sincerely hope your spotting stops soon - and I'm glad your doc's on top of it.

This! I agree...we could all give more support these days...I have no idea what a m/c feels like and I can only pray I never do. T&P with them always.
