Intro (Coming from July 14)

Hello, ladies,

I wanted to introduce myself and wish you all a Happy New Year!  I have high hopes that this year will bring much more joy and happiness to us than we've been experiencing lately… and I'm very glad to have a support group to turn to.

And here is my sad story:  This was my first pregnancy, and I was 10 weeks on December 29th.  My husband and I were traveling for the holidays when I started spotting and went to the ER closest to our hotel.  They discovered a fetal pole measuring 6 weeks with no heartbeat.  We knew what would be coming, but it was a little scary being across the country from home.  We ended up canceling our flight home the next day (since I had heard horror stories of what it would be like and didn't want to chance miscarrying on a 6-hour flight).  I ended up miscarrying naturally two days later on January 1st in our hotel room.  I am SO GLAD that did not happen on a plane.

As sad as this has been, looking back at the weird circumstances I find myself in, I was fortunate to have this happen the way it did.  The hotel room has a bed, TV, and bathroom within a few paces of each other.  I did not have to deal with any normal day-to-day business out here on vacation (room service is nice) and I was able to rest (our final flight home was moved back due to the snow on the East Coast, so we had 4 extra days for this).  As I prepare to head home, I realize that having this memory and experience in a foreign city away from my normal life is a blessing, and will hopefully help me to heal emotionally.  

So, not a great start to 2014, but I am not losing hope for this year, and I am trying to stay positive.  I wish you all a happy year as well.

    I'm so sorry that you are here, but happy that you have found this supportive group of women who have also gone through what you are going through.  I'm encouraged by your optimism for 2014 and will happily join you in your optimism:)  I'm so sorry that you went through what you endured...but also so glad that you were safe and didn't need to be up in an airplane during the MC.  ((hugs))

    Sorry for the loss. I empathize with your situation. I lost my pregnancy at 9 weeks on the day after Christmas. However, I am in awe of you. You have a very positive attitude. I wish I felt the same way. I hope some day soon I will be just as optimistic as you. You have given me something real to strive for. Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful 2014.
