TTC After a Loss

Lurking for 7 plus months and now ready to introduce myself

Hi Ladies,

I have been lurking on here since my loss last November 26th. My name is Kristen and I am 35 and live in MA.  I delivered our Angel, Mackenzie Anne at 29 weeks.  We had found out just day's before that her heart was not working properly and she would not survive. We chose to let naure take it's course and 4 day's later, the day after Thanksgiving, I delivered Mackenzie in a natural childbirth assisted by Pitocin to help induce contractions. We buried our angel on December 4th. After the autopsy results were complete the final diagnosis was that she had congestive heart failure which lead to hydrops fetalis.

I, like most of you am still shocked that this is now my life. As I said,  I have been lurking and honestly even though we flet ready to and started TTC again in January (I have since had a CP too), I was not ready to open up and knew I wouldn't be much help to others. I have finally gotten to the place that I know I can offer support to others and have realized that it has helped me so much to know that I am not alone in this journey we face. 

Thank you all for unknowingly heling support me through this time and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Kristen

  • Thank you all for such a warm welcoming.  I am so happy that I finally am feeling open to giving and receiving the love and T&P's that only we can understand.  I wish nothing but babies (or puppies) and rainbows to all...or just feeling accepted and not alone while we travel a path that no one would wish apon their worst enemy..
