2nd opinion update page 4

I think that if I were in your shoes I would do the same thing. Exhaust every avenue of information you can find! That way, no matter what decision you make, you can feel confident that you made the most informed decision possible.

That's the most you can do while you wait!

Thinking of you!

I've talked with the MW and we're putting everything on hold for tuesdsy.
She and I talked for over an hour, and I feel much more at peace. Not that the ending will be what I want and hope, but nonetheless it will be beautiful.
Be patient with me ladies, this could be emotional and scary but I have nothing to fear but fear itself.

I will be considered super high risk, if nature decides it's time to for my baby to go then I can be at peace with the fact I did not make this decision. Not that it will not be as equally traumatizing.

I have no idea what happens now as far as appts and testing.. And everything can change tomorrow, but for today I still have hope.

Thanks for being an amazing support system for me and my sweet baby.

@lisaren - I'm so, so sorry that you are having to go through this. I wanted to let you know that I have experience in delivering a 2nd tri baby that has already passed. It was terrible as anything like that would be but it wasn't as graphic (if that's even the right word) as I expected. I did a lot of research about delivering in 2nd tri to try to prepare myself and felt like I could find nothing out there to help me- lots on D&C/D&E and lots on later term stillbirths but nothing in the middle. If you want to chat about anything, please feel free to PM me. ((HUGS)) mama!

im so glad you seem to be at peace with your decision. i will keep you and lo and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

jlove253 · May 2014

I am so glad that we are privildged enough to walk through this with you, not because anyone would wish this on their worst enemy, but because of your character. You are a strong, brave, compassionate woman. We are privileged to be on your team.

I know that personally I couldn't make a decision to end things, both because of my personality and my belief that I am not in control of my baby, but you need to make decisions that you can live with. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a baby, but a friend of a friend just delivered a full term baby that she knew would die, and said while it was terrible, it was the only way she could feel settled. I'm glad you're feeling peace, and pray we can celebrate with good news with you in November!

::hugs::

MindyAndRyan · May 2014

Lisa, you are such an amazing example of what a strong, loving mother is. I truly admire you.

@lisaren‌ - praying for you and your little one.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep photography, and I pray you don't need it. They are a group of photographers nationwide that provide professional pictures to families that are suffering the loss of a child. A friend of mine is a birth photographer and she has done two sessions for mothers giving birth to babies with unknown futures. Both stories were very touching and sad, but I know those moms will cherish those photos of their baby.

I know you have a lot to think about and consider, but if it interests you check out https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org

lisaren · May 2014

I actually did photography for a whole and was a part of this amazing organization!!

You can check it out ... Pink daisy photography

Thank you!! I've already kinda went there in my head ;(

ColtiersMom · May 2014

I think you should do whatever you feel is best for your baby and yourself and we will all be supporting you! What your going through is not easy and not many pregnant women have to go through that but just know you are a strong woman and with God by your side he can give you courage when you least expect it. God bless!
