BABY- Funny how that works out huh? I was really excited to start working out and getting into shape for once, oh well now I just have more time to get myself motivated for it lol. ALLISON- Thanks, I was so scared to tell Austin last night because we weren't trying. He seemed disappointed but is excited now, he is worried that it will be to much on us now though. I know we will be fine though. We got this :)

AHHHH. Iv'e been trying to post all day and for some reason it wouldnt let me. I was about to scream. JAMIE-Whooo hooo. I am so happy for you!!!! ;) LUV-just one day at a time. And be there for your wife for emotional support.Be understanding. Us women need that from the husbands. Oh..and lots of hugs :) Good luck to you. LIL-at this point, I am not taking iron pills. I am suppose to eat more iron foods and they are going to check the levels again next week. So Im sure if it hasnt gotten any better..pills will be the next step :( I hope feb.7th comes quick for you and its a great experience. hugs. BEIELER-glad your feeling better and having lots of movement from Joel. I love feeling kicks too :)

Hi Luvthecork, Im on bedrest as I have a heart condition that is undiagnosed. I am on a waiting list to see a cardiologist. I am not allowed to do very much as I have very strong heart paplpitations that can be very painful and draining. My first pregnancy was high risk and I was placed on bedrest for 7months for unexplained bleeding. Luckly my daughter was born heathy. Then 2011 came around where I lost two pregnancies (multiple and a single) so with this pregnancy the doctors are being extra careful. :) . It;s ok to be feeling the way you do. My husband feels the same. I believe you are going to bring home a very heathly baby...just take it day by day and don't hesistate to ask the doctor any questions. :)

as for me- last week i was in L&D with contractions 3 mins apart... they couldnt find a cause and since i wasnt dialating i was sent home... Thank GOD! but since then i have been at home and feeling pretty great! Joel is moving around like crazy in my belly! i cannot get ove the wonder of feeling him move! I think that is the first thing i will miss! I keep telling Joel to stay inside because i want him to be just mine for a little bit longer! :) O just wish i didnt have to share him at all lol because i have been waiting for this little guy for almost two whole years! but then at the same time i want him out so i can hold him and rock him and nurse him.. i want to see his face... his toes... all of it :) lol

baby-beiler - 18 days ago.
phew what a busy group this has been over the weekend! YEAH! :) lol ok- boo for not getting off of diaper duty... but when my second came my daughter was 16 mos... so i know what that is like... this time you will be used to the assembly line just not two really tiny ones. :) what could be and JRR- oh what a tough time... no matter when your loss comes you will always worry you will become a hyper wiper and when you sneeze you will run to the potty to makes sure its just incontinence. my suggestion find a good midwife or OB who understands loss and who will put up with you calling once or twice a week asking questions like this is your very first time. lol that is what i have done. and it seems to work out well. lil- praying that baby is jumping and happy and healthy in your belly. once a month appointments were like torcher for me this time. i would feel great the week after hearing the heart beat but once week three was ready to roll around i was terrified something was wrong! jamie- haha same boat as you! i was doing the biggest loser workout DVDS lol and had totally given up on tryiing and was thinking lets wait til at least december... here i am at 30 weeks now and thinking well God knew what he was doing :)

jamie86 - 18 days ago.
LIL- Thanks, we had actually decided we would wait a little bit longer. I had planned on working out and getting into shape before we started trying again. In fact I had ordered the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and it got here today, so its going to have to wait now. I'm excited but its still so surreal.

jjrhodes - 18 days ago.
lil.pigz - hang in there! Every single week, I tell myself...thank you God I have made it another week! I will praying for you as well

lil.pigz - 18 days ago.
Well I am 10 weeks now. I go Feb 7th to the specialist for the NT scan and blood work. Praying baby is still with me. I still feel pg, and that is a plus, but I just dread u/s now. Nothing good came out of them wih my last baby. Thats a hard feeling to shake. Cannot wait to be past 18 weeks and pregnant. That is my goal milestone to get to. seems forever away,lol.

lil.pigz - 18 days ago.
Wow! I havent been in here for a week or so because it had been so quiet and there was tumbleweeds rolling across the page,lol. All of a sudden today I notice there is a page worth of comments. YAY!!....sunshinelady32-Congrats!! Glad the delivery went well and baby boy is fine♥ My last baby was 8.9 and that was the ONLY baby they accurately predicted the weight...okynot -Sooo happy to hear from you! When it rains it pours, huh? Seems to be the story of most of our lives here.Hopefully the protein doesnt become anything serious. They were concerned with my 1st pg and it never escalated to anything. Awesome news the twins are both doing OK though and holding strong and staying put. Praying this continues and you bring home two healthy full term boys♥...plantlvr07 -39 weeks already? So any day now! Best wishes for a speedy and safe delivery♥...Joy-S -Welcome back. Sorry for your loss but congrats on the new pg:-) I love the name Aubrey.Our daughter we lost in April, that was going to be her name too♥...baby-beiler- Glad to hear baby Joel doesnt have anymore heart issues. Get some rest while you still can:-)...Allison Marie - Are they making you take iron supplements now? I can't handle them, if I managed to keep them down, well then they didnt want to come out the other end,lol. Hope you get to feeling better:-)... christinaeagles- YAY for the beautiful heartbeat, BOO for the bedrest. Hopefully time flies by for you...WhatCouldBe2- I am so excited to see you back here again♥♥ I am praying you have a super sticky bean and all goes as planned!! I sure wish I had a solution to the stress and worry of loss in early pg, unfortunately I just sit under the shade of this dark cloud until the sun shines through again, hopefully sometime in the second trimester...older1sttimemom2be- 34 weeks is still early enough to get her to flip. My friend went in for her scheduled c/s and when they did a quick check on the u/s after hooking her up to the ivs, they discovered the baby had flipped,lol. So they gave her the choice to stay or go home and wait for natural labor. She chose to go home and delivered him vaginally a week later:-)...jamie86- Congrats on the BFP! I am a firm believer that it tends to happen when you least expect it;-) I was pretty much finished, felt defeated and convinced I wasnt going to get another chance. Even gave away all my newborn stuff during one of my pity parties,lol. Lo and behold I got a bfp. Happy and healthy 9 months to you!...jjrhodes - It is so unfair how loss and multiple loss has the ability to strip the joy of pregnancy away from us. I too have learned to just take it day by day and enjoy it for however long or short I am blessed with this baby...Goodness, that was a LOT of catching up to do, phewww,lol.

jjrhodes - 18 days ago.
WhatCouldBe2 - I am int he same boat as you. I have had 2 miscarriages, 1 successful pregnancy, 2 ectopic pregnancies and pregnant again right now in my 15th week. It's scary. I haven't felt much baby movement although we have seen and heard the heartbeat. I battle with the fear of losing this baby almost on a daily basis. Prayer has helped me tremendously even though I still have the doubts sometimes. I pray each day that God would give me peace and comfort to know that he is holding this baby in the palm of his hands and he has this under control. If you need any support I am here with ya :) Praying for you

I just got a super faint BFP, AF isn't due until tomorrow or tuesday and it wasn't with FMU. Totally wasn't expecting it since the hubby decided to start preventing. I'm excited but very shocked and nervous.

older1sttimemom2be - 19 days ago.
OKYNOT: I am so happy to hear you are hanging in there and those babies are okay! I will keep you in my prayers that you do not have pre-eclampsia. It's just been one thing after another for you! PLANT: wow! you are 39 weeks already? Where did the time go? I am 34 today and I just want her to stay in there for 3 more weeks until she is full term and then she can do what she likes. She is bum down so they have scheduled me for a c-section on march 2nd but I am really hoping she flips around on her own soon! sorry I haven't been in here much ladies. I am officially off work now so I will try to be better. :)

okynot- thank you :') that really helped

luvthecork@yahoo.com - 20 days ago.
Hi christinaeagles, Thank you for the response! I never knew how much I wanted a child until we lost one. I am now so nervous every day with this try! I'm sure the wife is so sick of me asking 'Is everything OK' & 'Do you still feel pregnant', etc.. I saw your other post about being on bed rest - I am curious to know what's going on with you. Thanks again!

okynot - 20 days ago.
babyb- yeah, I tried but I didn't get off diaper duty. I already had two others still in diapers so it was kindof an assembly line anyways.lol I am glad you can have some reassurance at the new hospital.

okynot - 20 days ago.
whatcouldbe2- Ohhhh how I wish I knew of something for you to get through these days,months. I have barely hung on to hope and have been to really dark places. pray for peace, comfort, life. each day, week is one more week with your new baby growing inside of you. Cherish it. I hope and pray you will experience the joy again without the pain. I will pray for you. vinessa- Thank you for your encouraging words. And yes, God does have this! Funny thing is when my DH and I decided not to use the condoms the night I conceived these babies, that is just what I said. 'God, you've got this.' christina- Great news about the heartbeat! I hope time goes by quick for you with the bedrest. luvthecork-sorry for your loss. The only advice I have is to pray, and you have already made it much farther, hold on to that hope.

WhatCouldBe2 - 20 days ago.
Anyone have any info on safely managing and relieving stress during early pregnancy related to the fear of loss? I could really use some help, feel free to message me, TIA

vinessalynn - 20 days ago.
OKY- glad to hear from you! I keep checking to see if you've posted anything. I had preeclampsia with my twins too. My Dr. was great about it and didn't act like it was a big deal. I had my ultrasounds every two weeks, and they started doing nonstress tests to make sure the babies were okay. Hang in there and remember that God has this! :)

christinaeagles - 20 days ago.
Hi Luvthecork, Congrads to you and your wife! The best advice I can give is enjoy every moment and take it day by day. I also recommended getting as much sleep/rest now as when that beautiful baby comes into this world you won't be getting as much. Sorry to hear about you first lost. You came to the right place. We have all been there and will gladly help you through this. :) Wishing you a boring 6 months. :)

christinaeagles - 20 days ago.
I got to see the baby;s heart beat today!! Yeah!! So exciting. Still have to be on bed rest though...:)

luvthecork@yahoo.com - 21 days ago.
Hey gang. Dad here (ok?) I'm 34, wife is 32. No kids. We lost our 1st in the 7th week in early Sept last year. We are now pregnant again & will be 13 weeks tomorrow! Any tips / advice would be appreciated! Thank you

baby-beiler - 21 days ago.
haha OKY did u try it on ur hubby telling him that you were allergic? ;) Allison i had an unexplained rash on my fore arms... it comes and goes my midwife said its most likely PUPP. I think is what she called it... its harmless i think in most cases and yes NO contractions today... just feeling exhausted! which is probably normal too lol! but i am packing my bag and getting everything ready just incase this little bugger decides to be early. however can i just say how thankful i am to be delivering in a hospital that has level 3 trauma nurses and a NICU? that means that even if i do give birth early... which Joel is under strict orders to stay put... i can drve the half hour to the hospital to see him everyday instead of 2-3 hours away.

okynot - 21 days ago.
joy- welcome back to the rollercoaster ride. I hope this time everyone gets off safely at the end. babyb- sorry about your scare, I hope you can rest as much as possible. Thankfully Joels heart looks good! Allison- It is scary. I just can't wait to look back on these crazy months and breathe a sigh of relief! We just need to keep going and going till we can get them here safe and healthy! I had a rash with my 3rd son starting in the 5th month that didn't go away till I delivered. I went to a dermatologist and he said I was allergic to his metabolites (pee)! It didn't get me out of changing his diapers though. hahaha

Allison Marie - 21 days ago.
As for me..Iv'e been feeling kinda yucky. Had blood work and my iron is a little low. Oh and Ive developed a rash on my stomache. Just wonderful! I guess this is normal? Hormones? UGH!!
