Pregnant after a Loss

Back from vaca with PgAL brain - a vent

Hello ladies! Welcome to all who have intro'd over the past week!

We had 2 weddings in Massachusetts a week apart (one for DHs cousin, one for my cousin). We decided to make a family vacation out of it, rather than a) attend one wedding and skip the other or b) drive up from DC separately for each one.

We had a great time, visited Boston, Cape Cod, and Newport, RI. We got to see tons of family and friends, and managed to pretend to drink wine at every event.

I realized about halfway through the week that my pregnancy symptoms had mysteriously vanished--no more sore boobs and nausea absent. I'm trying not to totally freak out, but I am dreading my u/s on Wednesday. Maybe it's just some kind of defense mechanism to protect myself from the worst case scenario. 

I know we have all been here at one point or another, so there is no point to this. Just a rant/vent to air out all of my feelings and hopefully get past them for another few days.

  • Glad you had a great vacation.  What part of the Cape did you visit?

    I hear you an the PgAL brain thing.  I've also got as u/s appointment on Wed and I am kind of dreading it, since this is typically the point where we got "bad news" in the past. FX that we both have a good experience on Wednesday.

  • Hope all goes well for you!!  It is the worst feeling to be constantly monitoring every tiny change or perceived change in our bodies.  It's exhausting!!

    I know you know that symptoms can come and go, get worse and get better...but it's certainly not easy to believe when it's your symptoms that aren't in overdrive.  And I think you're totally right; you are probably keeping yourself as detached as possible to protect yourself.  We all do it!  Hang in there, wishing you tons of luck for a terrific and reassuring u/s.

    Just over the bridge. We went to Scusset beach (the water was freezing!!) and had lunch in Bourne.

    Sounds nice (except for the water!).  We were in Orleans a few weeks ago and the bay side (Skaket Beach) had nice water but the ocean side (Nauset Beach) was a bit chilly.

  • Thank you ladies for your support. I just need to get to Wednesday. No matter what happens, I will be ok. I made it through one m/c, and I can make it through another, if that's the verdict.
