Unofficial update

batsteph · February 2012

So, I haven't spoken with anyone at my doctor's office yet, but I'll be very surprised if this pregnancy is still on or viable. I've been bleeding all weekend, and today's just been gross.

Happily, the weekend was super easy! So much so that I actually told DH that if it was a miscarriage, I was kinda concerned that it would end up in a D&C because there was so little activity. Suffice to say that after today, I no longer have that concern. Blech. But at least the weekend was mercifully manageable. I had so many obligations to meet this weekend, and with DH so busy as well, I don't know what I'd have done if the weekend had been like today's been.

I drove up to the lab for my second blood draw this morning and the nurse called me while I was on my way back home, but I couldn't pick up because of traffic and where I was driving. They haven't returned my return call yet, so I don't know anything official, but I'll update when I do.

Assuming this doesn't turn out to be the weirdest viable pregnancy ever, I'd love it if you'd blow some ***quick uncomplicated natural miscarriage*** dust up this way. Now that we're officially TTC #3, I'm soooo ready to get busy on that project. And yeah, I meant to say that.

I'm sorry (again), but I'm also glad that things are going as smoothly as possible for you right now. Dragging it out makes things so much worse, I know.

I'l still keep my fingers crossed for you, okay? Take care.

hugs, and lots of dust for you. Hopefully you get answers soon (I hate when I miss the dr calls - it takes forever to have them get back to you!).

Lots of flexible dust and hugs your way! FWIW, the docs where I work say that many women used to miscarry without knowing they were pregnant. They said that they would often think they just had a late period that was heavy, but that now with the sensitivity of the tests, women know more.

Either way, I know it can be hard emotionally, I'm just glad its not too bad physically, and I hope you recover quickly!

mcurban · February 2012

My thoughts are with ya, batsteph.

batsteph · February 2012

Thanks, ladies! I really appreciate all the support. You all are pretty awesome.

That's so true, and DH and I have had that conversation over the past couple of days as well.

I don't want to sound flip, because of course it sucks big time to lose a baby at any time, but I'd rather lose a pregnancy earlier than later. I'm really happy it's happening at 5 weeks instead of 8, like last time. It was hard to lose one after seeing the heartbeat and the cute little bean. And truly, I'm thankful God designed our bodies to manage pregnancies that just aren't going to work out. It's okay. And DH and I are okay.

This may sound weird, but you know what does make me really sad? I was super duper excited that all of our kids were going to be September babies, and of course, now they won't.

I've gotta say, though, that it's hard to stay sad for long with our two little monkeys running around cracking us up every few minutes.

All's well at our casa.
