Pregnant after a Loss

Apologies, 2nd beta and Jan '15 siggy badges

First, some apologies.  I haven't been around much lately.  My mother passed away last Thursday and I'm just trying to hold things together.  I'm sorry I haven't been here to offer support, but please know it's nothing personal.

Second, I had my 2nd beta yesterday - 602 at 4 weeks 3 days...eck!  That seems like an crazy high number.  I get a feeling that there's more than one in there.  Frankly, I'm freaking out about that, but I know that betas don't tell the whole story.  I have my first u/s next Monday, so we shall see. 

Lastly, in an effort to distract myself from the stressors in my life I created some January '15 PGAL siggy badges if anyone wants to use them.  They are attached below.  The 2nd one is a picture of snowdrops.  The official flower of January is the carnation, but the unofficial flower is the snowdrop.  It's a symbol of new life and seemed like a good choice.  We can either vote on one or just use whichever one you like.

  • I am so sorry to hear that your mom passed away.  Condolences to you and your family. No need to apologize about your absence. 

    As for your betas, it doesn't seem crazy high to me. From this website https://www.countdownmypregnancy.com/pregnancy/betahcg_chart.php it looks like the avearge at 4 weeks 3 days is 574.  Yours isn't much higher than that.

    Wow I am sorry for your loss...that must have been hard. I lost mine a few months shy from my son's first birthday... 
    Hooray for good betas, and if there is more than one, well, 2 for 1 sounds great to me! Also I am not due in January but I love the first siggy with the snowflakes :P Hugs.

    Yay for a great beta number, though! Hope you have a good u/s next week. No apologies necessary for being MIA; you need to take care of you, however that needs to happen. ((hugs))

  • Sending huge hugs your way. I am so very sorry for your loss. To lose a mother while becoming a mother... I cannot even imagine. 

    Congratulations on your strong beta number. I had a high first beta, too, and I've only got one bean in there. But who knows? Guess you'll see in a few days. Good luck with your ultrasound.

    Sending more ((hugs))

  • I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. No apologies needed. Please take care. 

    As for your betas, they look great! I wouldn't worry about them being super high and a chance of twins - if they double every 48 hours, they would be ~2400 at 5w. My beta with twins was 12,000 at 5w. But twins or not, congrats!!

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your mom.

    Your beta number looks great. I think mine at 4 weeks was 464 and then it rose to 1,000 something 48 hours later at 4 weeks 2 days and I just have one baby. I think each pregnancy is different and obviously the first ultrasound will indicate how many. I think the January moms will love the badges! Great job!

  • I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Take care of yourself. If you need someone to talk to let me know. I lost a parent and it can hit you way after all the preparations and stuff settles. Seriously. You can always reach out to me for anything. Or even to just go WHY?! WHY WHY?!

    I had a beta of 1012 at 4w 2d. I guess we'll both see how many are in there soon? Glad they are rising well. GL!

    Beautiful badges by the way.
