Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I am very late to the game, but I am currently 30 weeks pregnant with an adorable baby girl. Since we are starting to wind down in this pregnancy, I figured I will need a lot more support since my nightmares keep getting worse. Our beautiful baby girl Addison was born sleeping on January 10, 2015. We were 37 weeks 6 days when we lost her. The scariest thing was that she had a normal heartbeat and regular movement 2 days prior. I know our beautiful angel is watching over our tiny miracle but the doubt, fear and shame is still there as I assume it will be for a while. Hope that speaking with some of you courageous women will help get us through this scary and amazing time!

Wishing you the very best in the final stretch of this pregnancy. I know it will be difficult to keep your chin up at times, but don't despair- feeling scared won't hurt you or your baby, and I can't imagine how you would feel otherwise! There are many women on this board who've been through similar situations. Reach out when you're freaking out.
