Mommas from original BFP after MC Post

for those who wanted to stay updated on our journeys with our rainbow babies, I thought it might be easier to start a new thread so we don't have to search for the old thread which is probably on the last page by now haha!

Hope to be hearing updates from you ladies!

Re: Mommas from original BFP after MC Post

  • Thanks for posting this. We have a five year old and are pregnant with our second after two miscarriages. Have had two ultrasounds so far....one at 7 weeks and one at 8. I'm 8 weeks 4 days now and starting to feel hopeful. Still scared but starting to think this might just be it! Wishing the best to everyone else here as well.

  • I don't know what the original post is, but I am hoping that this one is my rainbow baby. I am 10 weeks today, had my first ultrasound today and saw my LO hanging out. The first one I lost at 22 weeks a bit over a year ago, the worst thing I had to go through. She had numerous genetic and not - genetic abnormalities, which usually do not occur together, and I am hoping that she took with her all of the conditions and illnesses that my future babies could have had. When I lost her I was looking for stories of success and encouragement from other women that experienced something similar and had healthy babies after. Now I am hoping to give that to someone else. So afraid to jinx it, but felt the need to put it out there.
  • I'm 10w2d with our rainbow baby! Had ultrasounds at 6 weeks and 9 weeks and heard the heartbeat at both!!! Have another ultrasound next week at 11 weeks. I truly don't think the thought of "is my baby ok?" or me getting concerned over every little ache is ever going to go away...
  • I had a lost in January at 7 weeks. That was my first pregnancy. So happy when I got a BFP. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow. Heard the heart beat at 7 weeks. Really exited for this journey. My next ultrasound is at 11 weeks. Can't wait to tell the world the news!!!
  • We just had an u/s and my edd got bumped up 3 days, so now I'm 9w4d. This was the second time we got to see the heartbeat, which we never go let to with the mmc July 2014. I'm definitely feeling much less stressed after today. Another u/s for the nt screening in May and the anatomy in June. Hoping we all get to stay!
  • I'm excited for all of us :) it's our turn for rainbow babies! I'm 11 1/2 weeks and slowly getting more excited!

    Hi ladies! I'm 7w4d today, just had our first dr appt. yesterday. We saw the heartbeat and our teeny tiny baby during the ultrasound. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life, but even still, I can't help but be nervous. We had a miscarriage around Thanksgiving last year. I think I'll feel a lot better when we're out of the first trimester. Wishing you all happy healthy pregnancies!
  • I'm 11w4d today and as far as I know, still going strong. Though while at work tonight I've been having what I can only describe as Braxton Hicks like sensations. I know it's too early, but I'm having intermittent tightening of my abdomen. Not uncomfortable, but scary with the history. I have an appointment Monday.
  • I'm 11w5d, had a scan at 10w2d and baby looked great, wiggling around and hb was 165. Got another scan at 13w1d and really excited for that one. I have a good feeling about this pregnancy.
  • My loss was in November (stopped at 6 weeks, but I didn't m/c until week 10) and this baby looks like it's sticking around. The 8 week ultrasound looked great, good heartbeat, size, etc. * fingers crossed *

  • I wasn't in the original thread but I had a mc last October on Halloween, was a day off of 6 weeks. I'm 11 now and still have good and bad days of being crazy paranoid. I've suffered from spotting on and off and I've been told I have a cervical erosion (caused by the MC). Even though I know the spotting is probably ok- every time it happens my heart drops and I think the worst. Saw bubba at 9 weeks & it was healthy and bouncing but I've had spotting since so I can't seem to calm myself and be excited just yet. Have an appointment tomorrow to hopefully see a happy developing baby. Fingers crossed.

    It's so hard not to worry and think the worst!
  • Had a mc in January at 8w. I'm 11w2d now. I've have had two scans and got to hear the heart beat at both and saw lots of wiggles in the last one. I'll get another scan at 11w5d on Wednesday and might breathe some then. I want so badly to start showing for real so that I can see something between scans and Dr. appointments. Praying for a continued peace that passes understanding and for a healthy Wiggles.
  • Update-everything is ok! Beautiful bouncing baby on US. Measuring 11 w 5 d
  • Hi again! I had another ultrasound yesterday. Our baby measured at 11w3dd I ate some Starbursts to try and get the baby moving. It worked! Our baby did a flip and appeared to be dancing around. It was the greatest thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to feel this movement. Feeling so much more confident with this pregnancy now. Still hard to forget the the reality of miscarriage after last time, but I'm trying to stay positive. Yesterday's ultrasound really helped!
  • I am 11w4d today with what is hopeful our rainbow! We saw the baby dancing up a storm last week, and then my doctor let me come in yesterday for my sanity and see the baby again and baby was moving and grooving again yesterday. Go in next Monday for another at 12w3d!
  • So glad we're all doing well, new and familiar mommas!

    My OB and u/s tech suggested orange juice before my next ultrasound. They said the sugar and acid really get the baby active :) can't wait to see more wiggles!!
  • I wasn't on the previous thread, but I am pregnant after 3 m/c. Currently 10W4D but the baby is measuring 11W. I have had 3 good scans, seen and heard the heartbeat (strong). I just took the Harmony test yesterday though and am a nervous wreck - we are higher risk for trisomy 13 due to my husband's translocation. Anyone else do this test? If so, how long did it take to get the results? The waiting is so painful! Praying we all have our rainbow babies!
  • Tomorrow is my first trimester screening. Excited for another ultrasound. Last one was 2 weeks ago and then I have another appointment next week with my regular OB. No bleeding after that one scare at around 6w. Feeling great too!
  • Hey ladies, I've seen this before but I'm still not sure what it is. What is a rainbow baby? Honestly just curious :) sounds extra special!

    It's when you have a successful pregnancy after a loss. For example I mc last week so if I get pregnant again and give birth that baby will be a rainbow baby...

    Had a miscarriage in January. I believe growth stopped somewhere around week 8 and it was discovered around week 10. So far this baby looks good! 10w3d and saw baby and heartbeat at 8 weeks 3 days and everything looked great!!
    Good luck to everyone with sticky babies.
  • I had my 12 week nuchal scan today... Measuring 12 weeks exactly (a few days earlier than i thought) with my beautiful rainbow Bubs! Finally starting to breathe and be excited that this is going to be a healthy and sticky baby who's cooking well!!!


    Keep going ladies. It's so important to talk when you're feeling paranoid or scared. Don't bottle it up, it's scary times and sharing helps. I pray everyone has a healthy scan soon xxx
  • My 1st tri screening will have to wait until next week. Baby was curled up in a ball so didn't have the space to get the right measurements. So frustrated to have to go back not to mention work is starting to get super suspicious.
