Re: PGAL - July
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 5 weeks, 3 days in January 2020.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Besides super tired, I’m feeling great! I started seeing a prenatal chiropractor and doing Pilates this week, and both have helped me physically and mentally.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MC at 6 weeks. My due date would’ve been in a couple days.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? My body hurts! I’m glad I’ve found this chiropractor and I’m going on Friday but I am feeling the aches and pains in my hips and back. Emotionally I’m doing pretty well. Experiencing quite a bit of anxiety that I’ve been working through. Not loss related, though I do think the losses on our board haven’t made it any easier.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MM at 12 weeks and early MC at 5.5 weeks, both after IVF. The last couple weeks were the one year anniversary of our MM
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Was feeling a bit better now that I'm starting to show but was told I have a suspected low lying placenta and googled that... Which got me anxious again.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MC at 11Wks August 2015
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Most days are really good. Some days I want to roll into a ball and cry. Others I’m proud I have killed anyone 😈 it’s PMS times 💯
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MC at ~7 weeks, MMC at 12 weeks, and MC of one twin discovered at 18 weeks.
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I've been a bit of a mess but I think I'm doing slightly better. Just trying to focus on baby boy and had a good ultrasound this morning. I've had light contractions about 4-6 per an hour for over two weeks now. They are uncomfortable and I'm really hoping they stop soon. They wake me up a few times at night. But cervix is closed and no signs of labor. But the contractions don't help my PGAL thoughts and I'm back to thinking "if" not "when." I had these the last 3.5 weeks with DS. Just resting and drinking a lot for water.

How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? I'm feeling ok physically. Emotionally, I think it's just really settling in that it looks like this baby is actually going to happen - so pretty excited and a little freaked out!
@kelk5 I'm glad that your US was good and I hope the BH stop soon! Sometimes it's really hard, because our excitement is tempered by our experience. In my culture (we're Jewish) we actually don't buy anything for the baby until it is born - I think this has actually been kind of helpful for me, because I don't feel like I'm buying things for an "if." Sending hugs to you and your family and keeping your LO in my thoughts!
I'm on the same page with you, holding off just in case. I find myself watching what I say to people because I always want to say 'if', but people don't want to hear that. Or when I'm asked how I'm feeling my first instinct is to respond about anxiety... But everyone just wants to know about morning sickness, etc. Like you said, it's exhausting to have to pretend to be super positive and excited.
Share your PGAL story if you'd like, or previously have not. MMC at 10 weeks in December. Due date would have been in 2 weeks (18th).
How are you feeling (symptoms, mentally/emotionally)? Pretty good physically. Emotionally, hitting July was a little sad since it was suppose to be our birth month. I finally announced our pregnancy beyond closer friends and family. 20weeks felt like a "safe" time to do it.
