Thank you for your kind words. It is nice to know other people in the same boat as we are. you just hope that the same thing doesnt happen again. I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy because I know that this is the last time regardless of what happens. I just need to get past the 20 weeks and at the moment that is taking forever this time.
Anyway hope all goes well for you and keep in touch I would love to hear from you again.
I am due on Nov 29th, so yeah, I know what you mean about having the baby around the holidays. But I'll take her/him whenever I can! It is great to know other women who are in the same situation. I feel overwhelmed with worry because of having had a miscarriage, but I am trying to stay positive and allow myself to look forward to having this baby, not be consumed by whether or not I will lose it. I think once you a hear the heartbeat and see the baby, you'll be able to take a deep breath. I hope your doc gives you an ultrasound soon. Keep me posted!
Thank you I really do appreciate your comments. I will give my Dr a call a see if I can have an early ultrasound. Its nice to hear from people out there that has had a loss too that we can chat too throughout our next pregnancy. K10 Road the advise that you have given is so true and I do need to try and enjoy this pregnancy so thank you.
When are you both due? I am due on the 24th Decemebr great timming right on Christmas I know but if it is meant to be it's meant to be.
Hope to keep chatting to you both throughout the next 9 months and I really do appreciate your advices.
All the best with your pregnancies
thanks
I too am on my fourth pregnancy, and I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks, so I understand how you feel. The stress and worry is not good for you, but is impossible to avoid. When I saw the heartbeat, I felt much better, and my doctor gave me one just because of my previous miscarriage. It should be important to your doctor to alleviate some of your anxiety, and I would definitely call and request a sonogram. It is a very reasonable request. Good luck, I hope you have a happy, healthy pregnancy!
Well, you're not worrying over nothing. Once you have a loss, every second of a subsequent pregnancy is full of worry (I'm going through it myself). The advice everyone keeps giving me though is to not let the worry overcome me so much that I forget to enjoy the pregnancy. So, same advice for you =)
Do you get your ultrasounds at a hospital?? I would think that is something that your OB usually has to order. Why don't you call them and just tell them that you are a nervous wreck because of your previous loss and you would really like an early ultrasound. At 7 weeks, they should definitely be able to see a heartbeat (usually). I don't think it's unreasonable for you to ask that or for them to accommodate it.
Good luck and SSBD.
