re: Introduce Yourself....

HI my name is Cara i'm 21 years old my husband is in the navyand wehave an almost 18month old daughter.
Yesterday i went to my first ultrasound appointment they gave me a pap everything was good, then they gave me the ultrasound my baby had no heart beat my husband at the time was at work as soon as i told him the news he got his chief to let him go he came rushing to me.this is our first time miscarrying i was 8weeks and 5days along my doctor printed out the pic's and i have them she said i could keep them or throw them away i needed the closer so i kept them. Today we just got the confirmation that the baby did die. ON thrusday i'm going to have a surgery called a D&C. I don't feel right having my dead baby in me. I hope that doesn't sound insententive. I feel as tho it was not the right time. God just has other plans for my family i hope to never go thru something like this again. but we never know. My husband and i do plan on getting pregnant again just not know or anytime from now.

I started to bleed about a week ago and went for my ulta-sound today and the baby has passed through which means I don't have to go and have a D&C done. I would have been around 8 weeks I was due nov 19. This is the first time for something like this and I think I am covering my feelings up about this situation just because I don't want to disappoint my husband, who has been really supportive of me but just my way to deal I guess.

Hey everyone, my name is Danyelle and i am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant. My fiance Kyle and i will be getting married tomorrow. We have been together 5 yrs. In December 2006 i got pregnant with twins,, a boy and a girl to be named Rylan Dax & Kali Skye. Sadly i had a miscarriage. Part of me selfishly was happy cuz i felt i was too young but now that i am getting married and having a baby that so far is goin good, i know i am at a good state in my life to have a baby. Unlike most pregnant women i know, i do not care about the gender of the baby, i only care that they come out healthy and happy. My baby will be the first on my side of the family to be born in the US. Me and my whole family are from Italy and were all born there. My grandparents think i should go there to have the baby...any thoughts on this??

Hi guys, I'm Jenn and my boyfriend's name is Ryan. I was six weeks pregnant when I miscarried (today, sadly). We kind of knew it was coming. I had low beta levels and after going in for blood tests every other day, my doctor caught them decreasing and at least warned me. This was our first and a planned one. We got lucky after TTC for one month. I'm convinced it was a boy, but we'll never know now. I'm devastated to say the least and definitely not in my right state of mind anymore, but I think we will try again in July (mandatory 3 month wait).

Well I need to know if I am being wrong in my thinking. As stated above I just miscarried for the first time and i am not dealing well with the situation and now to add salt to the wound I just found out that my sister is expecting 3 weeks after I was going to be expecting. I am angry at her but at the same time happy for her and her husband. Both of us already have a kids and they are only 4 months apart. It just makes me feel angry to know that she is going to beable to hold her baby and I never will. I guess by hearing this news it made my situation real and painful.

I don't know how to work the quote thing yet. I just wanted to update i went in for my D&C everything went well. i half to set another appointment for a twoweek check up.My husband is doing okhe is putting all his support intoour dog who just had four healthy puppies, which i'm ok with it is kinda of hard for him to get out all of his emotions my sister inlaw lost her baby a month ago in for us to lose oursjust month after her was really weiredand hard tochew,I believe this would have been another girl, i was suppose to go back to washington andhave the baby theirthen this happened, andnow i don't want to go back home all my friends thatare pregnant around the same time that i was are going to have there babies... I'm not

I don't think you're wrong to feel like that. Ryan's brother's girlfriend had a baby around the time that Ryan and I found out we weren't supposed to be able to have children and I hated her. I hated her because she was able to have a child (not just one, but two) when I wasn't even able to have one of my own. I hated her for almost every reason I could think of, but in the end, I went to the hospital and I pretended to be happy for them.

Of course, I felt like a complete butt later, but at the time, that's what I was feeling. I felt like the lowest of the low when we finally did get pregnant and she was happy for us and I felt even lower when we miscarried and she sympathized with me. The bottom line is that it's perfectly okay and even healthy to feel that way, but don't let it overcome you.

Hi my name is Megan Sutton. I unfortanetly just suffered my third loss and third pregnancy. The first was an ectopic ( a fluke as some might call it). 5months after that I had a miscaariage very early on didn't have hardly any pain with this just a big gush of fluid and blood. Today I had my third loss, I was 8.5 weeks and found out sat in the er that the baby no longer had a heartbeat. yesterday I went in for an u/s to confirm yet again and they scheduled me for a D&C today because i didnt wanna experience the pain and waiting game as the dr said it could be a week or two before annything happened. Well unfortanely at 2pm I starte to experience weird achiness all around my waist, back and thighs. Finally I figured out these were the start of labor pains, excuriatingly painful yesterday it lasted from 2pm and lasted till 2am last night. So I go in todayy for a revualtion u/s well I go in there today and they say its only halfway over and that my cervix has closed back up...so if I waited I would just have the same amount of pain if no worse when my cervix started to open again. I felt so backed into a corner cause I didn't wanna go thru either because I was physically and emotionally drained. So I just said just do the surgery and get it over with. So I go into surgery scared and frustrated and now I am glad to say that I feel 100% better no pain or anything just a lil sore in the vajayjay area!

hi my name is Karin i am 28 weeks pregnant with my fifthbaby i have 3 healthy beautiful little girls and 1 angel son we lost him to a condition called Anencephalywhen i was 21 weeks 3 day (12/07/2006) pregnant it was horrible to learn about it but it was for the best (which is very hard for me to say)

Hi, my name is Emma, I am currently 16 weekspregnant with my 3rd child, I have two daughters, Ava (11/18/05) and Rori (stillborn 8/6/07 at 36 weeks). We have no reason for Rori being stillbonr, so I am feeling very scared with this pregnancy, because even though I heard Rori's heartbeat 48 hours before she was born, she still died, and I didn't even know - it is something I can't control. I miss her everyday, but I keep her in my heart, and I know we will meet again someday.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss - its so strange to think how different our lives are without them, and even though we can't hold them in our arms, they have changed our lives forever!
Congrats to you also on your pregnancy... due 1 day before me!

yup and lucky me with boy/girl twins again!! idk if i said that b4 but anyways i cant say it enough cuz it is a blessing :] kyle and i truly are changed forever. the moment i held rylan and kali in my arms i felt this amazing feeling and the moment i was told they passed i knew id always have a void in my life. our new twins will definately help us feel whole again but there will always be that small empty space. i find myself visiting their graves all the time...im starting to think im crazy lol.

I am 31 years old have been pregnant 4 times, with a total of 5 babies but I only have 2 living. I have been very unfortunate when it comes to staying pregnant and miscarrying my sweet angels. I had my first miscarriage in Feb of 1998 at 7 weeks 1 day gestation. We had been trying for months to conceive and were so happy when we finally were. Only to be devastated only about 2 weeks after finding out. My second miscarriage occured in February of this year, I was pregnant with twins and I woke up with a gush of blood and followed me wherever I walked. They told me that I had been pregnant with twins and that I had a condition called vanishing twin syndrome. I found out I was having two babies, which was so exciting, to finding out one of them had died, all at the same time. After that miscarriage I continued to bleed and was put on bed rest only to have to be rushed to hospital less than a month again with another gush of blood. This time they diagnosed me with partial placenta abruption and had to be put on strick bed rest. That was the 7th of march and from then until the 16th of March, I lost 5 units of blood and early morning on the 16th, I delivered my son, 18 Weeks and too precious for words. Perfectly formed and so peacful looking......just a few more weeks could have made all the difference. I lost a lot of blood and had to be put on medication. I suffered from hypoxia due to the blood loss. I want another baby so bad it tears me up inside but I am also afraid that this will happen again. Has this happened to anyone else, having placenta abruption and late miscarriage and go on to have another normal pregnany and deliver a healthy baby? Living in heartbreak each day but trying to be strong for my two little girls at home. My prayers go out to anyone who has suffered a loss at any stage of pregnancy.

My name is Princess and I had a miscarriage on Monday. It was my first pregnancy and we had tried for a while and were so very excited. I walked around on a cloud the entire 7 weeks that I knew my baby existed. I lost my tiny baby at 11 weeks, 3 days. We still dont know much about the whole thing as we still do not have the pathologist report. I've been through some really horrendous stuff in my life, but this is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. Those of you who have had this happen more than once, I dont know how you managed to go through this again. My baby didnt have a name and I dont know if it was a boy or a girl, but loved it more than words can possibly express. I only hope God is taking good care of my little one and that it knows that it is loved and missed by its Mommy and Daddy.
