I don´t feel pregnant this morning. Ok, hang on, that is not accurate. I feel LESS pregnant this morning. I didn´t have to ´carry´my breasts when I walked down the stairs this morning (they normally hurt when I am not wearing a bra… ) to go to the bathroom and I was able to put on my normal jeans this morning without much trouble. Could this be bad news? I´m scared. I have made an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow afternoon.
This is torture! I just want to be the glowing, happy, pregnant lady instead of this paranoid freak!
Please please please make it baby. Please grow into a beautiful healthy baby for me and T. We love you.
I’m curious as to how your appointment went…I pray all went well…i just suffered a miscarriage this past week on Tuesday (I was 12 weeks pregnant – but baby stopped growing at 11 wks) I am beyond devastated and your blog has given me hope – i can so relate to your hopes and fears…please let me know how everything went.
Thank you for your kind wishes. I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. Twelve weeks! That must have been so awful for you. 😦 If you feel up to it, tell me what happened. Do they know why it happened? Are you having any tests done? I am so sorry. It is such sad news. 😦 I hope I will be able to continue giving you hope and that this pregnancy will work out. We are all in this together. And hopefully, we will all have happy healthy pregnancies soon.
Take care (big hug). xxxxx
Thanks for the update – i am so happy for you! I actually just cried tears of joy for you. As for my story – I was having a normal healthy pregnancy – i had all the symptoms i got to see (and hear) my baby’s heartbeat for the first time at 6 weeks pregnant. 110 bpm! What an amazing sound. That was the happiest day of my life. Dr asked me to come back again in 2 weeks to make sure my hcg levels were progressing nicely – so at 8 weeks i got to see and hear my baby again – 170bpm! Dr said everything looked great and i didn’t need to come back until my 12th week. So needless to say the shock i received on Monday, March 1st, when my husband and I went for what we thought was a routine exam – excited to see how much bigger he or she must be only to deafened by the silence of the tech and the U/S. I had no symptoms of miscarrying. I felt and looked pregnant. No bleeding, no cramping nothing. I felt as if i was in a slow motion movie (nightmare) when they told me sorry there is no heartbeat. The baby stopped growing at 11 weeks. This was the first time i actually went in without even thinking something could be wrong – the other two previous appointments i seriously held my breathe until i could see and hear my baby on the screen. This time i figured i am so close to the end of the 1st trimester – i felt great – never would i have imagined that i would hear those words…I had a D&C performed on Tuesday. (I had a 2nd u/s that morning to confirm what i knew to be true but hoped it wasn’t) I felt as if my world was tumbling down. I still can’t believe it – i wake up everyday having to remind myself that i am no longer pregnant. I am lucky that i have an amazing husband and family but it doesn’t take away the pain. I don’t know if i will ever stop crying. My Dr. won’t do any testing because this was my first pregnancy and miscarriage – he doesn’t see why i couldn’t see the next pregnancy to term. Which makes me beyond anxious and fearful. I’m 36 so its not like i have all the time in the world but he doesn’t seem too concern. I cannot imagine going through this ever again – my heart goes out to you and other women who’ve suffered through this – until you’ve lived it no one can really understand. Which is why i am so glad i found your blog. It has giving me hope, although i will probably be so scared to get pregnant (or not) again…but knowing that others have lived through this and gone on to have healthy pregnancies gives me something to hang on to…thank you so much for sharing your story. I will be praying constantly for you and your little one! I can tell he/she is already so loved and you and your hubby will make amazing parents!
Wow. That must have been such a shock! You poor thing. 😦 How awful. Missed miscarriages are terrible aren’t they? Somehow you expect your body to give you some kind of warning or something, not just leave you in the lurch like that. I’m so sorry. 😦 As I said in my other comment, I am sure your doctor is right and that all will go well next time though it is hard to believe right now. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Somehow it helps to know that one is not alone. Please take care of yourself and your hubby. You are in our thoughts. xxxx
