Why I'm joining so late *** Sensitive late loss mentioned
In case mobile users can't see the whole title. This is my intro and my story. I do realize that it may be very difficult for some of you to hear about late loss, so please be warned, I am not trying to strike fear into the hears of blissful pregnant women, I am simply sharing my journey with fellow May moms.
********
After reading the newb-veteran-lurker post, I have decided to stop being a dirty lurker and say hi. I have been reading since I found out I was pregnant, but because I have had a few early miscarriages, I thought I'd wait to intro. Well, the first tri came and went, I passed those early milestones, but never really felt confident that this would last. This pregnancy has not been easy for me emotionally.
In April 2012 after a completely normal and healthy pregnancy, my daughter's heart stopped beating at 39 weeks. I was totally blindsided by this loss; the nursery was decorated, the clothes were washed and hung in the closet, my hospital bag was packed, the car seat was in the car. Walking out of the hospital with a memory box instead of my daughter was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
I still feel her absence everyday and in everything I do, and these emotions have been heightened by being pregnant again. Even though this pregnancy was so desperately wanted, the thought of losing another child is always with me. It's hard for me to fully embrace this pregnancy; I'm trying, but it's hard. I'v been through this all before, I'm a second time mom, who will hopefully be parenting a child for the first time. Reading this board has helped me in a way, I get to see other moms be excited and count down the weeks, talk about names, and feeling the baby move. From now on I am going to try to be more active, and share my thoughts when I can!
I didn't add a ticker because I still post on the loss board occasionally. And, I cant really handle the count down stating me in the face. But, Im 21 weeks due May 25, although, I will be induced at 37 weeks, so we are looking at the 1st or 2nd week of May - no date set yet! And It's A Boy!
