I am 25 yrs old and expecting my second child on August 24, 2008. It was unexpected and me and the father are no longer together. I don't have my first prenatal checkup until Jan 17th and it couldn't come soon enough. I snuck in an ultrasound through a friend and was able to see the heartbeat...I guess this means it is time to come out of denial!

Tuesday, 8 Jan

I am already puffy??? I started back to school today...yeah...last semester. I haven `t seen many of them since around the time I concieved and most don `t even know about the BFP but I had a couple point out the puffiness in my face!!! That is not something you say to someone with wild hormones hovering a trash can. What is wrong with these people. Yes I realize that I eat everything within a 15ft radius that doesn `t threaten to eat me first but in my defense it is usually in moderation throughout the day. I am craving a lot of salty food and still drinking diet coke. So I am trying to make everyone believe it is probably just water. Anyone care to help me with this defense???

Had my first prenatal appt today. I am 8weeks 4days from my LMP but she said I am measuring large for date. Somewhere between 10 and 11 weeks. I don `t know how that can be...I would have been on my period and I realize I can have a period while pregnant but I can assure you I did not concieve while on my period. I am having an u/s done tomorrow. Very very nervous. I have a 3yr old already by my ex-husband and the father of this baby is no longer around after the exciting news. So the thought of having 3 children on my own is a little overwhelming. I don `t even know how you would guess you were pregnant with twins. Yes they are in my family and his. I haven `t had any morning sickness I just sleep and eat oh and I have this itchy thing that drives me crazy. HELP!!!

Went for the u/s yesterday. I was 8 wks 2 days instead of 8 wks 4 days. I only have one baby!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! I recieved a referral to my old ob/gyn (who is wonderful). I have my first appt with him on Feb 7th.

Saturday, 9 Feb

I had my second appt yesterday. I had to wait for 2 hours before the doctor even got there...and I promise I will never wait to eat until after an appt again. I was starving by the time I got out. He said everything looks good but I don `t know how he would know since he didn `t `look ` at anything. I did get to hear the heartbeat again. My next appt is 03/04 and I won `t have another ultrasound for 8 more weeks....long time :(

I am having a horrible day. I woke up last night with the worst abdominal pains. I went to the bathroom to find blood and clots. I immediatly called nurselink! I went to the ER under their advice. I waited for 4 hours to get a rhogam shot and to find out I have placenta previa. I was placed on temp `light duty `. On the bright side the baby is tolerating it just fine so far...measured perfect and had a reassuring heart rate. I am already a single mother of a 3 yr old so staying in bed is not an option! Hope everyone else is having an uneventful week!!!

Tuesday, 26 Feb

I go back to the doctor in a few hours now I guess and am finding it difficult to sleep. I had class all day and clinicals tonight. I am exhausted...WHY CAN `T I SLEEP!!! So frustrating!

Thursday, 13 Mar

I only have a few more days until my big ultrasound on the 17th. Mine is a little early because of all of the bleeding (which I am not having anymore...knock on wood)! I am super excited to find out if I am having a boy or girl. There are a lot of women that just know from the beginning but I don `t have that special connection so I will just have to wait for the scan. My daughter thought it was a great idea to pour water all over the bathroom floor when taking her bath yesterday...which by the way is carpet so now my entire house smells like mold and mildew. I don `t know who thought it was a good idea to but carpet in the bathroom but it was obviously someone who did not have children. I hope everyone else is doing well this week!!! Can `t wait to update you on the ultrasound on Monday!!!

Wednesday, 19 Mar

I went to the doctor on Monday and everything was perfect. My placenta has moved up some and the baby measured exactly 17weeks with heart rate of 161. Looks like I am having another baby girl!!! I can `t wait!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I have many friends that are very supportive and will call frequently to see how I am feeling, but same thing.... come weekends they are all out having fun! At first that was really hard for me, but I have come to realize that this whole process has made my husband and I so much closer- and in the end- we will have a beautiful daughter and maybe those partying will finally feel a void? I know if the tables were turned, I would still prefer to be expecting my daughter than still out drinking and having late nights out. I think the part thats toughest for me personally is that I am scared of what it will be like to be a mommy. Its a PERMANENT change- but I know it's normal. It must be tough being in your shoes- I definately do not doubt you must have stress on your hands. Your friends are really looking out for you by avoiding you on the weekends,... as strange as that may seem.... they know how it's important that you stay away from smoke/drinking but still love you enough to be part of your life- we are both very lucky!!

Thanks for your concern. I'm still processing it all. Like today I went to have lunch and I was looking through the fridge for something that agreed with the baby. Then I realized that I could eat whatever I wanted..no more baby..no more M/S. In my mind I'm still a bit pregnant. The past two days have been better. I've just been diving into school work trying to catch up and look forward to happy times to come like graduation!! It's hard and I have my moments but I'm leaning on God for comfort and strength. Just trying to stay positive and get through this. It sucks though cause now I want a baby to hold and that won't be happening anytime soon so I guess I won't dwell on it. I told my daughter the day it happened. She came to hospital everyday to see me. Everyone kept saying the baby "passed" and she wasn't quite sure what that meant. I answered whatever questions she had. She was a little disappointed about not being a big sister but she seems to be fine now. She had only known for a week, so I guess she wasn't all that attached to the idea just yet. I still log in to check on you guys so I will stay in touch.

I know it can all feel overwhelming sometimes but guess what..ur juggling it all. Which means ur strong and u can handle it even when u think it's too much. Good news is that there is light approaching. School will be over soon and that will give u some relief.

Well I have news. I actually just got released from the hospital. I miscarried Friday. I am still having a hard time believing it. Even though the situation was messed up, I had made peace with my baby's arrival and was ready to love her all by myself. I knew something wasn't right with the discharge, spotting, and cramping. Then I got fever and it was just downhill after that. I was in the hospital for 3 days. At first I was just relieved that it was over because it was so painful and then I was thinking at least my baby won't be mixed up in all my confusion. Then I became confused. Like, what really just happened??? I just lost my baby. She is not going to be with me. Once the reality of it all sank in I've just been really sad. I'm also angry because no one can give me a straight answer as to what happened and even though I complained all week to my Docs they just dismissed them like everything was OK. My ex-baby daddy came to the hospital like he was all concerned. He stayed two nights and when they extended my stay for the third night he took off. He was unbelievable in the hospital performing like he was onboard from day one. All the nurses kept saying how cute we were together and how attentive he was waiting on me and sleeping by my side. I was blown away with disbelief. I wanted to just scream at him "You bastard. You didn't even want the baby". Inside he was probably glad happy I lost my baby. He kept talking about all the preperations he was making and how he had gotten all excited anticipating the baby. I'm thinking you liar!!!! I've been pregnant for 3 months and before this wk all u had to say was how u weren't going to be there. I don't even know why I let him stay. He hasn't called or anything today. I'm just all over the place inside. I just need God to comfort my mind and my heart because as much as I thought I was not ready to have another baby, I was sure not ready to deal with losing my baby.

Congrats on your new job!!!! That must be a relief to know that you won't have to be out there job hunting. I updated my resume and was beginning to look for a job but then came all the pregnancy issues. I'm currently on bedrest for some unknown period of time. Hopefully I will be able up and running soon.I also have 3wks of school left. I have been slackin the past 2 weeks. I just don't have the stregnth mentally or physically, but I'm so close to finishing and I just really want to be done with everything before the baby arrives. I can't imagine juggling 2 kids, grad school, and work...sounds like hair loss to me LOL. Sorry things haven't worked out with daddy. I don't even allow my heart and mind go there. Before I got pregnant I was trying to break away from him because of all the hurt he put me through. It's easy to get attached to the idea of a "family" but I know he would only cause me and my baby more harm than good if he were around. I don't talk to him much. He used to call and I would ignore him. Then he went MIA for 3 weeks and popped up again acting all interested. He even tried to bait me in with old memories. He sent me a text msg reminding me of the "good old days" and wanted to know if he could see me. I declined...no way is he going to get me all wrapped up emotionally. I decided that I am not going to act nasty towards him. If he contacts me and wants to know about the baby, I'll update him. If he wants to come around, I'll have her bag packed. That's about as far as it goes though. Didn't mean to rant. Your so lucky that ur halfway through. The last part usually flies by faster than the beginning (except for the last 2 wks that drag along). With you working and all it will be over before you know it. Take care of your self and don't be a stranger.

hey u!!! Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everythings going well. i hadn't noticed until now, but our girls (if I have one) will have the same name. I was thinking Dakota Ryliegh, but her dad likes Ryliegh as a first name. I might indulge him. NEways, keep in touch.

U gave good advise to another newly single mom whose having baby daddy trouble. I'm in the club too. I too have an older child from a prev relationship (she's 6 in May) and just found out that I'm pg for my ex. Three years of pure hell and right at the moment I'd made up my mind to just let go (changed my number and moved) two weeks later I got a BFP. Needless to say he was less than thrilled. Called a few times trying to convience me to get rid of the baby or start an argument. I decided to keep my baby (my daughter's been begging for a sis/bro). Him, I choose not to deal with. He means me no good and I don't imagine that he wants much to do with my baby anyways. Congrats on ur upcoming graduation!!! I know how you feel. I will have my MBA in May. There is light at the end of the tunnel and great things ahead!!!

Thanks For That Comment Hun :).
I Think Im Always Going To Have The Doubt In My Mind Till The Babys Here. But Im Not Gonna Think About It Jus Gonna Get On With Pregnancy Thanks Tho xx

sarahbrockman - Tuesday, 26 Feb
Thanks! I am going to look into that and will also wait see what my doctor says. I wonder if it is possible for a medicine that I have tried before pregnancy that didn't work, to actually work now that I am pregnant. I don't know!? I read a lot of different things about anti-depressants and pregnancy and Zoloft and Prozac were mentioned as being some of the safest. Hope the doctor can help me out!
