I wish they would leave my due date alone!!!!! I am so confused. I am due New Years Eve but now it is looking like it will be Christmas!!!!!!!!



Hi, My name is Ashley. I am 30y/o and have been trying to get pregnant for over a decade now. My husband and I lost a baby at the end of October last year and I had to have a D&C which the "Dr." almost killed me. I was then in the hospital for 19 days having various surgeries and procedures. I lost my dad when I was 17 and my mom just 2 years ago so this was so hard going through this without them. I found out a week before my due date that I was pregnant, but then I started bleeding so I just knew I was having another MC. Thank God though, so far, we are ok. Yesterday, the fourth of July was my 13 week/5 day mark that I lost my last baby at so hearing the heartbeat today was such a relief. It has been such a crazy ride so far and I am just praying that this will be a turning point in our lives for the better this time. God bless all of you ladies and your loved ones as well.
