re: Introduce Yourself....

Hi, my name is Liz. My husband and I have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old son. I found out I was pregnant with baby number 2 at the beginning of April. We'd been trying for this baby for a year, and were thrilled. Over the next two weeks I couldn't shake this anxiety of something going wrong. I was already labeled high risk because my son was born at 34 weeks. I went in for another ultrasound on April 16, and was told I was beginning to miscarry. I went in on the 18th for a D&C, and laparoscopic procedure. From that surgery I was diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus. Now, we're heartbroken, and I'm terrified to try again in fear that this will happen again.

I am so sorry...I know the feeling all too well. Hope you're getting through this tough time, all the best.

Hi my name is Lara, 15 week pregnant and have experienced many miscarrages with a previous partner, my partner now Stephen has 2 children to his previous partner this being his third child and has never experienced the loss of a child born or unborn.
My last miscarrage was the worst as it had been the furthest i had ever been at 8 week and there were complications with the miscarrage as even though the the baby was no longer with me and recieving any blood (no reason could be found as to why)`and i was having severe pains and heavy bleeding which were the contractions the baby became stuck inside the womb and was there for almost 2 week a week of which had to be spent in a hospital under heavy pain relief and regular oral and vaginal medication to try release the baby at that stage i know it is still classed as a fetus but to me was my child i had held high hopes for holding in my arms and after hearing it said so coldly by the many doctors and nurses i began to hate the word and could not bare to ever call my child that word even though i sometimes feel guilt to the who were able to grow more attachment to they're child that i was as knowing that in just that short space of time i could become the mess i was after the death people have had to bare so mch more.
As i say i am pregnant after a yr since my last loss but cannot help but think the same fate awaits this child i have struggled through this pregnancy an our baby ell bell (our nickname for bump) has fought every step of the way i have been ill the whole way through and have had to recieve hospital attention many times already i pray with every day that passes that this time i will finally be able to meet a child of mine to hold adore and love for the rest of its life but still have the doubts stuck in the back of my mind it makes it harder that my partner does not seem to worry about any of this as like i said he has never had to experience a loss like i have and that every worry i have seems silly to him because he is determind that nothin can go wrong and as elating as it is to have that possitivity around u its difficult when u think there may be a problem to explain how devastating it can be. I hate myself for being like this but find it so hard to be a 100% that everything will be ok.
sorry for the long introductions an the probable many mistakes made but thank you for reading and listening to what i had in my mind xxxx

Hi Lara, i know how you feel, i am 35wks pregnant just now, my last baby was stillborn at 21 weeks, this whole pregnancy i havent settled and my last pregnancy haunts me im constantly thinking and half expecting something to go wrong, you are past your 12 weeks and your pregnancy is becoming well established, i feel better now i have passed 30 wks knowing if my baby was born early it would have a good chance of survival, try not to worry and each day is a bonus and a step closer, i wish you all the luck in the world x

Hi , i'm Khadejah . I found out my lil girl had no heartbeat at 17 weeks and 5 days .. I couldnt believe she died .. but I had a feeling my pregnacy wasnt going to well .. I felt like crap .. but it wasnt a pregnacy feeling .. I had a placenta previa which caused me to bleed ALOT ( I had to stay with pads on ) .. i went to the E.R. TWICE and they told me everything was fine .. but when I went for my monthly check up she came back with no heartbeat .. i would have been 5 months on the 12 of May   I was induced Monday April 30 didnt have her till May 2 , 2012   I cried when I was at the hospital , I cried when I came home , I cry every now and then when I think of her ... it's hard but it slowly gets better each day ... they said she had a genetic disorder which I didnt know how that was possible .. but I know God will bless me with another lil girl or boy one day . R.I.P. mommys lil girl Zuri <3

how bad are you bleeding , and how far along are you?

Hey girls. I'm Lilly, 17 years old from London. Me and my boyfriend have been together for just gone two years. We found out that I was pregnant on Friday 13th April- definitely a bad luck day for me! I was getting bad vibes about the pregnancy and couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen from day one really! I started to bleed red blood at 7 and a half weeks, I got booked in for a scan at 8 weeks. I turned up fully expecting to hear "sorry, but..." well it turned out different :-) Monday 13th May, internal scan, I couldn't look at the screen! But when she says "look at your little bean with a heartbeat pumping away" I cried! He/she looked just like a mini baby, with a tiny nose, head, chin, and body! I couldn't believe we created something so real. I was measuring 1 day ahead, 8 weeks and 1 day. I continued to bleed for a few days after my scan but after seeing the baby, I just ignored it as I thought everything was okay! Ever since my first scan, I couldn't wait for my 12 week one to hurry up. Finally June.7 arrived and we turned up so excited to see our baby at the hospital. I had been sat in the waiting room for about 30 seconds before they called me, I wondered why they called me so quick when there's usually such a long wait?! Did they know something or? I layed on the bed, never been moe excited in all my life, and I knew as soon as she put that instrument on my stomach that there was something wrong. Our baby didn't look like that tiny little baby who were first saw at 8 weeks, and where was the heartbeat that we once saw fluttering away? The baby lost its shape completely, looking like a oval sort of shape. No nose, no chin, no body. My boyfriend was smiling at the screen because he's never been to anything like that and he just didn't understand, he's not a female, they don't get it. I carried on staring at the screen and my eyes were filling up, I was just waiting for her to say those words "i'm sorry, but.." and after measuring the fetus, she finally said those words. "Okay Lilly i'm so sorry but baby has failed to make any progress, the measurements show that he stopped growing at roughly 8 weeks 2 days, i'm sorry." I stared at her like she said four heads, and my boyfriend wasn't expecting her to say anything like that so his jaw hit the floor. She walked out of the room and we just cried on each other. The 'EPU Sister' came and spoke to us after, giving me a list of options of what to do now. I really didn't expect to be hearing anything like that after my scan. After 2 days of thinking I chose the medical procedure because I couldn't of put myself through even more pain of waiting for my baby to pass, and I wanted to be cleaned out properly so the risk of infection was less. I went in for my operation when I was suppose to be 12 weeks 6 days approximately, on June 12. Ever since the moment I woke up from that operation i've felt so empty, just knowing my baby isn't inside me anymore. He/she may have been inside me for 5 weeks dead but it was still so comforting to know he/she was in me still. It feels like years this has been going on for but actually I had my D&C done a week tomorrow, and we only found out about baby 11 days ago. In times like this as most of you know, it's hard not to push the loved ones away. Me and my boyfriend have just had to pull together even more and we're standing even stronger now we've had to go through something so tragic. We will never forget our angel, he/she's sleeping tight now on a big fluffy cloud i'm sure. When the time is right and when we decide whether it's in a few months or a couple of years, i'm sure we will be blessed with another little cupcake (bumps nickname) My heart breaks for anyone that has been through this/has this news coming their way. It's heartbreaking.. that's all. I've never felt so much pain in my life, despite the fact I am only 17 years old. For the time I knew I was pregnant (3 months) our baby was our life, nothing came before and he/she wasn't even in the world yet.
