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!
Im so sorry for the loss of your daughter.
I'm 4w3d and seeing a healthy 8 week scan would make me breathe a huge sigh of relief. (I've had two losses that never reached that milestone.) I can't imagine how hard it would be to worry the whole way through.
I'm sure 10 weeks from now you will get a happy ending. And I'll be over the moon if I'm still on this board to see it!

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. What a difficult thing to go through- my heart breaks just thinking of the pain it must've caused you. 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.
