Being pregnant again.

Everything went good, I was induced two weeks early, they did an ultrasound before they induced and the cord was no longer around her neck. I had her on Oct. 21. She is a very healthy 3 month old now. The fear sat with me until I had her in my arms as it will with any mother who has had a loss. We are thinking about trying again for a boy, but not sure if I want to go through all the stress of worring about loosing that child. It is up in the air right now. The best thing I can tell you what I did was getting a fetal doppler to listen to her heart rate, to make sure everything was ok with her. I wish you luck Amie and keep me posted on your special delivery.

Carole by now i expect you have delivered your daughter. How did it go?

I am now 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd daughter and am excited but terrified all the same.

It is very hard. I lost my son to a cord accident, the cord was around his neck and down his back, at 30 weeks. I'm currently in my 33rd week with our second daughter. We found out two weeks ago that the cord is around her neck and down her back. I begged the doctor to get her out and they won't because it is too early. We are very scared at this point. I go into the doctors office twice a week, to check how she is doing. Still isn't comforting but we are doing what we can to stay as calm as possible.

I am pregnant again, now. My due date is in the same month that Ruby's was and I am not nearly as scared as I thought I wouuld be. Going well so far. We havent been able to see any of the anatomy yet, so still don't know if we are in for the same thing again. But, still hopeful that everything will be alright.

I lost my son in November, and just found out I am pregnant again and due in October. I'm scared to death and can't help but expect the worst. I try so hard to stay optimistic, but it's always in the back of my head...

We are finally able to try again, only if I get pregnant this month my due date will be around the same time as Ruby's was. I'm still not sure if I can handle that much of a similarity, I guess we'll see. I understand Lauren, I'm not even pregnant and I am worried about how much I am going to be freaking out over every little thing, including which child I think about the most. Guilt is not a fun thing.

It was hard and I always worried about my babies moving and had a couple of them induced a week early because I worried about them. I rented a baby doppler from an online place that charged only $15 a month and when you're done you just mail it back. It worked awesome and I could check my baby's heartbeat whenever I was worried. Plus you can plug it into a recorder and record the heartbeat! Or video tape it.

I also knew that God knows what's best for me and my baby and I had to trust Him to take care of us. I don't know the future and God does and I believe that He loves us and is there with us and will take care of us. I don't know why He took Mitchell from us but I know Mitchell is in Heaven and is perfect and happy and I will see him again someday. But I was very glad when I had my last baby and was done being pregnant, too. :)

I will keep you in my prayers!

We lost our son this past January when I was 22 weeks pregnant. He had an umbilical cord accident so the dr. said there really isn't a chance of that happening again since that was just a fluk. I still worry constently. I am only 14 weeks and 4 days pregnant right now and I don't think I will stop worrying until I have this baby in my arms.

Jade i totally understand that, even though i have one healthy child Ella, and i always wanted another girl, after Darcie i feel like a boy would be so much easier, no baby will be a replacement but a boy would give less of that feeling of uncertainty

i had my stillborn baby girl lacie-jade on the 9th june 2008. I am now 6 months regnant with another little girl an have worried non stop. What makes it worse is that its another little girl. Don't no why coz i really can't explain how i feel. But i no i won't stop worrying till i have got her in my arms.

I just lost my daughter so I haven't even gotten the chance to be pregnant again. But, everyone keeps asking me, from my family to my doctor ( in my postpartum checkup) when I think I will be ready again. I am still reeling from losing Ruby, that I can't even imagine trying for a while. I feel like even if you are in the healthiest place possible after something like this, you know how wrong everything can go. No one is given a guarentee with pregnancy. I have already begun worrying about my next one, and I'm no where close to being ready to try for another.



I hope eveything goes well for you in these last months....they are always the hardest to wait through.
