Re: PGAL check in week of 12/15
Other children? 4.5 and 2.5
Previous losses? 1 early loss in May 2019
Concerns or worries this week? Lack of symptoms. Y’all, I’m a broken record on this. But it’s freaking me out.
Any milestones coming up? No, just want to get to my u/s and know what’s going on in there.
Questions? None
This is so awful but I haven’t thought much past my dating u/s on 12/31. This week I will work on it. And I’ll hopefully come back to this.
<b>Other children?</b> DD is almost 15m
<b>Previous losses?</b> We lost one embryo (CP) prior to DD, and two more before this lil rascal took. I know it's not the same as later losses, but there's still a fair bit of grief there, hoping this one stays, wondering what might have been, and the fear that if we were to lose our remaining two, this could well be my second and last pregnancy. 😿
<b>Concerns or worries this week?</b> This will be the longest gap yet between appointments since transfer, so just hoping to make it through smoothly, emotionally speaking, and not start to panic before our first scan next Monday.
<b>Any milestones coming up?</b> DD turns 15m this week. Baby's organs begin to form and heart begins to beat! ❤️
<b>Questions?</b> Would it be helpful? Or triggering? To post the decrease chance of loss table we had on my last BMB? I'm not sure where it came from but a lot of us would watch that chart like a hawk in early days and watch the risk of loss go down.

Then when I hit the safe zone is when I found out I had a missed miscarriage. So for me those charts offer no comfort.
Pregnancy #2 Natural Miscarriage at 6 weeks 03/2014 Due date 11/9/2014
Pregnancy #3 DS 02.23.2015
Pregnancy #4 Missed Miscarriage at 11 weeks 11/2018 Due date 5/22/2019

Aug. 16th 5+2
Other children?
2 boys, 3yo and 14mo
Previous losses?
5 losses, including ectopic, BO, and CP
Concerns or worries this week?
I havent had any pregnancy symptoms. Of course, I'm currently dying from the flu, so I figure sickness symptoms trump flu symptoms, but sheesh. It's hard to stay out of my head.
Any milestones coming up?
No
Questions?
Other children? DD- just turned two over the weekend
Previous losses? MMC in July (8.5 weeks along)
Concerns or worries this week? A little scared because 1) I have the Upper Respiratory Infection from hell and I spiked a high fever a couple of times last week. I followed my OB’s advice for bringing it down, but googling high fever/first tri (birth defects) freaked me out. Now my OB’s office is saying Sudafed is fine to take, but I’m too scared. Thus I’m suffering and haven’t been able to unplug my ears in days because of the fluid buildup. 2) No discernible pregnancy symptoms makes me worried. Then again, maybe they’re masked by the horrible virus. Ugh, regardless I feel like crap and am in survival mode over here.
Any milestones coming up? First ultrasound Jan. 2! Anxious and excited
Questions? Nope
8/15 5w3d
Other children?
1 DD- 4yo
Previous losses?
1 loss before her
Concerns or worries?
not many symptoms either. Everything is mild.
Any milestones coming up?
My previous loss was around 6 weeks so I’ve been particularly anxious this week. I’m anxious for my appointment on 1/10
Questions?
I am excited for my daughter to be a big sister even though she doesn’t know.

Other children? This will be our first.
Previous losses? A few.
Concerns or worries this week? I was able to hear the heartbeat on 12/17 and it was music to my ears so it's eased my worries for now. My only concern at the moment is saving more aggressively and finding energy to clean my house.
Any milestones coming up? We get another ultrasound on Monday and will be telling my best friend the day before. She's been praying for us so I'm driving up to tell her in person.
