Pregnancy Info HOME

Tracy88-I'm fortunate, I have not had the migraines to that extent. Try not to feel guilty though, there are worse things that you could do! And the stress of pain from a migraine on your body can't be good either. No need to suffer, I'm sure baby wouldn't want that. Just try to take it easy and rest-are you back to work yet? If it's the estrogens surges, is there anything they can do to offset it? Hopefully they won't continue beyond this week. Good luck!

Hi all, KD..so gld to hear from you. Thats great with the bding every other day. When is test day abouts? I've been thinking of you. I'm cd28 and holding. BM5, Our Thanksgiving here in Canada is in October, so I just have a plain old regular week here to wait it out. Although my best girlfriend from Texas is arriving at 2pm and is here for a week, so it'll be a great celebration or a wonderful shoulder to cry on during test day-lol. Thanks for asking. Tracy...wondering if your headaches are mostly in the a.m because of it being strictly sinus related and once you are up and about the sinus drains a little. have a wonderful day!

Lets start a new lucky thread....#10 coming up

Hi ladies: I'm sorry I have some very sad news to report. My DH and I lost the baby this weekend. I had been spotting and bleeding on and off for nearly two weeks which I attributed to the hematoma but on Friday night I woke up in the middle of the night and my pajama pants were soaking wet. There was no smell or blood and I knew it was my water that had broken. We went to the ER on Saturday morning and they couldn't find a heartbeat by doppler. The ultrasound tech had gone home, and the doctor, who was very unsympathetic basically told us that if it was my water then this pregnancy was unviable and it was probably dead but I guess too bad for us we would have to wait all night long till the next day to have an ultrasound. The next day we got the run around and they basically told us we might not get an ultrasound until Monday or Tuesday. I was having a total meltdown at this point not knowing if our peanut was dead or alive. They said the doctor didn't call the tech, who was only on call during the weekends. I tried to explain our situation but the receptionist said it was out of her hands. I phoned the ER and left a message for the doctor. Finally two hours later I called again and they told us to come right in. We waited for at least an hour (with a full bladder) and then they did an ultrasound and the tech told us that there was no heartbeat. I saw the screen and the baby wasn't moving. The other tech came in and told us they were sorry. Then we had to go back to ER and they made us wait for another hour, in our sorry emotional condition, before the same doctor we had seen the day before, saw us. He basically just said, point blank, the baby is dead, and then told me my options. The nurses were very kind even if the doctor was a complete tool. I opted for a D & C as I hadn't started bleeding yet and didn't want to go through a mini labour that might lead to a D & C anyway. Being Sunday in the ER there was only one operating room available so we had to wait from 12 noon till 8:30 p.m. for the 15 minute operation. We got home numb around 10:30 pm. A weekend of hell to say the least. We just never imagined we would lose "him" at 14 weeks. The OB, who did the operation, told us it was a boy. I wanted to know. We never thought after seeing the little guy waving and turning over, and seeming so healthy, we never imagined that we would lose him so suddenly at this point. My OB was so positive the week before I just don't really understand any of this. They say things happen for a reason, and I have always believed this to be true to some extent, but I don't know what possible reason this could have happened for. As my husband and I are well into our 40's, and this is my second miscarriage this year, we don't plan to get pregnant again. My husband is going to have a vasectomy as I cannot go through this a third time. After a few months to grieve I am hoping DH will think about adoption. I know I could love a child that doesn't have my DA as much as one that does. But for now we are just going to be thankful for each other and the kids and pets we have. I am so sorry to post this news here. I am sure I am not going to jinx anyone as you all seem to be having very healthy pregnancies. For everything that's taken away, something seems to be given, so hopefully LM3 and KD will have some good news to share with us. It has been a pleasure talking to all of you, and sharing my thoughts and reading all your thoughts these last few months. From time to time maybe I'll come on to see how you are doing but for now I think I'll stay away from anything to do with babies for awhile. Stay happy and well ladies.
