9 months of nervousness

msarnold1013 · September 2014

I am currently on my 3rd pregnancy. My first was a piece of cake. I was very young (19) but had a great pregnancy. My second wasn't as pleasant. I had a rough pregnancy throughout and lost my baby at my 9 month check up. 3 years passed and now I am on to my third try. I feel great, minus a recent tooth ache. But I am paranoid about everything. I try to stay relaxed but it's been hard. Any moms been in the same spot? Any pointers on how to have faith? I could use a few right about now!! Thanks ladies!

I'm so sorry for your previous loss. I don't have any advice, but there are a lot of PgAL ladies that can relate and provide advice.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my son but at 5 months. I can't imagine a loss at 9 and I don't have much advice to help you get through the whole 9 months this time. For me, for now, I find comfort in listening to the baby's heartbeat regularly on my own Doppler and will rely on feeling movement for comfort later. You don't have to give details, but was your loss one that could be considered a "fluke" and not likely to happen again?

The umbilical cord was around her neck. My dr keeps saying the chances of it happening again are so slim. But that doesn't help too much. I've thought of buying an at home Doppler but not too sure if I'll be obsessed with checking too often. I will def check out that board. Thank you all for the advice. It means a lot!!

I lost my Nora at 30 weeks last year and have definitely been struggling. In my case though, there is about a 10% chance that it can happen again and that's definitely a hard stat for me but I try to focus on the 90% chance that it won't happen again. In your case, the chance of bringing yours home would be even higher!

I also try to take it one day at a time, and when that doesn't work, one hour at a time and remember that every moment is precious. If you are debating on getting a Doppler but not sure, there are a couple of places that send high quality dopplers for loss moms free of charge and you send them back when you are done. Two I know of are Beats for Bristol and Tiny Heartbeats.

I am really sorry. Your worry is definitely understandable with a late loss like that. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and a healthy baby this time
