Hi Everyone.

This week is a biggie for me. Today is the same point in my last (and only) pregnancy when I lost our little one. I was exactly 9wks 0days when our u/s registered a lost heartbeat. I really surprised myself by being relatively calm up until this point, but I woke up this morning with horrible thoughts. I'm trying desperately to think only positively and to visualize our beautiful-happy-healthy-full term baby, but how can I keep calm when I won't know anything until the 9th?????

Figured If I asked some of you lucky ones who have survived past this panic point to share some of your thougths it might help. I really need some reassurance 'cuz I know all this worry isn't good for the bean.

Thanks in advance,
Capri

Capri,

I know exactly how that feels. That is how I felt a couple of weeks back. I had almost the same thing as you. My last pregnancy ( my only other one as well) I miscarried our daughter Emily at 8 1/2 weeks. It stays with you it has after 1 1/2 years for me. I am now 12 wks. I still can't believe it. I have had a couple of scares as well but remember to think positive thoughts and that beautiful baby that you are going to have. One of my good friends told me something that has stayed with me ever since he said it : This isn't last time. This is a new beginning. Just because it happened last time does not mean it will happen this time. I know it's harder to do but keep positive thinking. Pamper yourself : relax off your feet if you can, read a good book, listen to music, watch movies. Just relax and remember to drink your water. Everything will be fine. Just have positive thoughts. < Hugs :) > and postive thoughts are going your way.

Take Care,
Dayna.

Actually, today is a milestone for me. My last two losses occurred at 7wk0d, and that's what I am today. Normally by now I've been spotting for a couple of days, but so far so good!! I go in tomorrow morning for an ultrasound to see if there's a heartbeat and I don't know whether to be terrified or over confident - I just keep going back and forth! So hang in there, & I'll be right there with you holding my breath.

I just passed that hump. I am 7 weeks and 1 day today. I lost the last baby at 7 weeks, but it all really started at 6 weeks. I feel so much better getting past that point in my pregnancy. Today was my ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck, tossing and turning all night. I thought that I was going to have

Hi,


Yes, that point you realized your loss always sticks with you.

Hi Capri,

You're doing all that you can, mentally, under the circumstances. You've got *hope* and that's what's important when trying again after a loss.

I've got about 10 more weeks before I feel more relaxed.

I'm glad this is YOUR week. Way to go....grow baby grow!!!!

Hang in there...Karen

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

You don't know how much your stories and words of encouragement have meant to me. I still have 4 days to go before my next appointment, but it helps just knowing your there.
