It makes my heart smile every time I see that bean is dong well or hear the HB on doppler. I honestly didn't expect to get this far so knowing bean is doing well makes me so happy. We have another appt in a couple weeks for testing and such, then an appt with OB @ 14 weeks and if I can make it to 17 weeks we will officially have passed the latest point where one of our bean's hearts stopped too soon. Seems so far away but feeling the tiniest bit of hope we might actually make it :)

So happy the bean is staying sticky! How wonderful to see so much activity. :)

Anyone else feeling antsy to get past this 1st trimester? I was doing ok the first 2 weeks after my dating scan as I've been busy but now that I'm on the two week countdown again, I'm really ready to see the munchkin again. Also, I'm WAY ready to feel better.

Guilty. Esp since I seem to be feeling worse lately, not better :/ I am 10w 1d and had to fight the gags worse today at work than ever, terribly sharp cramps all day today and outside of work I have almost literally slept ALL DAY. Finding J's (Boy or girl, baby will have a "J" name so we are just saying baby J or J now instead of bean) HB on doppler helps with the times between u/s to calm my worries but I still find myself counting down to the next milestone... but I'll likely do that for the rest of me preg due to losses making preg feel unsafe. Now I am waiting until April 5th for my appt with my high risk specialist where they will do blood work and an u/s. After that I'll be waiting for the results. Then I'll be eagerly waiting passing the 16th week (when our first angel passed although we didn't find out until much later). The 20 week scan and so on. *sigh* BUT I am beyond eager to finally be out of the first tri so maybe I can start feeling like myself again and start feeling Baby J :)

I can't even fathom having endured losses because that must make the first trimester even scarier..it's already stressful and just so draining especially with little ones already in tow. What happened to your little one that passed at 16 weeks? I know that's a fairly rare occurrence. I can't imagine how heart breaking that was. I had a friend who lost hers due to placental abruption (sp?) At 15 weeks and she was a wreck.

Thanks. I can relate to your friend. There is something particularly cruel about lossing baby after you reach the point where everyone says the threat has passed.

Honestly we don't know anymore. For years we were told anencephaly. However, last year a specialist looked at all the records and said there was no evidence supporting that diagnosis, and in fact there was evidence against it. Basically, between when he passed and when we found out his body had deteriorated to the point that no conclusive diagnosis could be made. Our original diagnosis was just a guess based on autopsy results so scewed by deterioration that it was incorrect.

🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼

I'm ready to be out of the first trimester!!!! I've had to stay away from message boards because losses were breaking my heart for the moms and then making me feel worried. I have one more u/s with the RE on Monday when I'm 8.5 weeks and then I'll see my regular ob at 10.5 weeks. It's so hard not to worry and my symptoms come and go. I could have gone for an u/s today and I'm kicking myself for waiting until Monday.

Has everyone announced to their families? We are on Easter so I'll be almost 10 weeks. We bought the girls cute shirts to wear. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...abd168b19e.jpg

Yeah I've tried to stay away from boards too. We have to remember that loss really is not the norm but because women want to (and should) band together during times of loss it seems more prevalent online. Pregnancy is such a beautiful but stressful time imo. Anyway, we're on break next week for Easter and will be having a party on Easter with an egg hunt that contains bits of a picture that give the surprise away. It's going to be really fun:-) Those shirts are super cute!
