Anyone else feeling down now?

After seeing the recent post of a loss.. my heart is just.. sad. I just couldn't imagine. Now I'm totally freaking out about my appt tomorrow. I never realized how many people this happens to until I joined this board. My heart just breaks..

I know! I didn't realize it was so common to lose a baby and not even know it . . . or is there just something about this group? It definitely has me more worried, and I feel so sad for the gals it has happened to. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it must be.

All the m/c posts totally freak me out as well. It's just sooo heartbreaking! I can't even imagine having to go though that. I hope I never have to.

I think it's not as common as it seems on these boards. I think there is just such a wide range of women on these boards that it seems to be coming up more often. I keep trying to concentrate on https://www.pregnancycharts.org/miscarriage.php

I hope your appt. goes amazingly tomorrow!!!! Keep us updated!

I thought a miscarriage was somewhat dramatic.. from the tv shows and the stories you hear. Apparently those are called "silent miscarriages!" which is sooo scary. I just feel sad.

It makes me so sad. It makes me nervous, I know how quickly how fast it can change.

It's just awful. While miscarriages are fairly common, missed miscarriages really aren't. I keep telling myself over and over that the babies are fine, but I'm freaked out and worried about my appointment next week.

It is terribly sad and my heart aches for all of these ladies. I keep thinking the farther along all of us become these posts will disappear, but they aren't . It's scary, and all we can do is hope and pray for the best.

It is so incredibly heart breaking, and nobody is immune to it. I am such a worrier that I think about buying one of the at home Dopplers. But then I think what if I can't find a heartbeat at home, and I would probably sit there all day listening just to make sure my little babe is still there cooking away. My next appointment isn't until next week and I just want to make sure the lo is still there doing good.

I don't know if 1pm tomorrow can get here quick enough.. I want to just go to walmart and buy a Doppler right now. I hate freaking out like this.

I hear ya!! It's so heartbreaking to hear these stories and then I start to worry. I've had a m/c before at 5 weeks and it was hard. My NH u/s in on Tues. Deep down I know everything is okay, but I'm a worrier by nature. T&P for all the women going through these loses.

Sad is okay. Be careful about worry or anxiety as it isn't the best for you and missed miscarriages are very rare, as are miscarriages this late in the game.

Every time I see a post about a loss, it's heartbraking.. I went through one at 9 weeks w/ my 2nd pregnancy... It's so common (unfortunately).. it totally takes away the innocence/naivness of pregnancy. I pray these women can move forward and will be able to conceive again and have sticky take home babies...

Stay calm--worrying about it won't help at all.. Just make you remember all the stress later on.. Better to just enjoy the pregnancy....

Yesterday's post was so sad and unnerving. I wasn't planning to break out the doppler again for a while, but I sure did last night. I just try to remember that all my scans and u/s's have been good. My NT scan was fantastic and so far, I have no reason to worry. But yes, it makes me very sad. I too was hoping at this point, we were all in it together and was looking forward to seeing how this journey (gender reveals, SAHM/WOHM, sleep issues, etc.) would turn out for all of us.

Ugh I feel the same way...Even though I have never personally met any of the girls on this board, I feel a close connection that we are all in this together. Seeing that post really upset me (I just saw it this morning when I came into work), I even cried. I feel such sadness for her and her family. Some things just arent fair.

ali&jonbaby · January 2012

Yes, it is very sad. I may not post a lot, but I read everyday and in a way feel I "know" some of you. Even so, a loss is sad no matter who it happens to. It makes me feel that life truely is a miracle.

maykious · January 2012

Yes, I'm definitely feeling pretty bummed out. I didn't realize that this was something that could happen either and had no idea just how frequently it happened. Once I started reading about it, I had all these horrible visions of the same thing happening to us at our most recent appointment. The fact that I still have to wait another four weeks till our next is also a huge bummer, despite the fact that at this point, having had a good appointment earlier this week, the risk of anything happening is really, really low. But it's not impossible.

I am really trying to not worry. It's tough, but I'm managing it, somehow. I'm so sad for all the ladies we've seen leave here, but I absolutely can't let it make me worry, or else it will consume me.
