Hello well I am newly pregnant and very excited and nervous at the same time. I lost my 1st baby due to anacephly at 12 weeks on 01/25/14 I wanted to know if anyone had the loss as I did and had a successful pregnancy after. Please let me know I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you ladies.

To ease our worries a bit I opted to have the Panorama test done which looks at some chromosomal abnormalities and waiting for those results was torture but they came back low risk. If you think you might be interested in this you might qualify based on family history so it's definitely worth asking. Most of these types of tests can be done starting at 10 weeks. For us it was really helpful to know this information before our 13 week ultrasound because though that test doesn't test for everything we were completely blindsided before and wanted to be somewhat prepared if that's even possible.
I found myself analyzing every ultrasound to look for markers that would indicate another fatal diagnosis and watched countless YOuTube videos on what to look for. It became a little much but it helped me in some way. We had our NT scan this week at 13 weeks and as I'm sure you can relate it was terrifying because once you have experienced this kind of diagnosis you look for more than a heartbeat. However, they found that our sweet boy looks healthy from what they can tell right now which is such a
blessing. I know that we still have lots ahead of us but getting that news has brought so much peace. I cry of happiness about it often because I was really starting to believe that it would never happen.
I am thinking positive thoughts for you. Remember that every pregnancy is different and just because you had a sad ending before doesn't mean it will be the case again. If you ever want to private message me please feel free. Those initial weeks leading up to 12 or 13 weeks when you can actually see the baby in full form are really hard but please know that you aren't alone.

I also sought the help of a therapist after we lost our daughter and I have been working with her right up through this pregnancy. She helps to validate my feelings. If you are interested and haven't already done that I highly recommend it.
