08/18/2012 - BFP (Hoping this is our rainbow!) 06/24/2012 - Loss confirmed at 12 weeks 12/14/2010 - Loss baby girl at 20 weeks due to Turner Syndrome 01/2009 - Chemical Pregnancy
I have found myself still frustrated with those having perfect pregnancies but almost immediately write off the pregnancies that come up with issues. Today, 2 of my friends blogged about their 20 week ultrasounds. One has 4 fibroids (way less and smaller than what I dealt with, but fibroids were the reason for every horrible complication in my pregnancy including our daughter's micro-preemie arrival and death soon after). One has placenta previa. Both left the post so hopeful... oh, all it means is that if this gets worse... then I'll deliver early and maybe a c-section.
I totally want to be like, "Didn't they tell you about extended bed rest? preterm labor? The risk that you won't carry past 28 weeks?" I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have been given such hope from my doctor. I'll keep my mouth shut, but rather than thinking about baby gifts, I'm admittedly thinking of consolation phrases. And I feel like a huge jerk for that.

12 hours and no confessions??? Alright I am in.
