Pregnancy After Loss (Feb 15-28)

[newcdmommy29]

I would LOVE a boobie monster!!! DD latched once and it was for MAYBE 15 seconds. I pumped and fed her a year. I SOOOOO bad want a nursing relationship this time. Not so much a pumping relationship. If I never hear the ree rew of a pump again I'd be blissfully happy!!

Congrats on your wee girlie!!! Eww - licking the placenta !!

Again, ew. But interesting.

I can't imagine pumping at all yet alone for a length of time like that. for you this time around.

I had great support from a mama who pumped for her son. I wouldn't even have known that was an option. I'm SOOOO happy I know her!! She is starting the process to be a LLL leader now.

I love those ultrasound pictures!

You guys, please send me good vibes and/or prayers... I have a dull ache in my stomachand twice today I have seen a little bit of light red - pinkish blood.

I know it's an option, just can't imagine doing it! I have tried to pump before, with DD, and my body does not respond to a pump at all. It was so much darn effort, for so little gain, that I never bothered trying with any of the boys.

That's so scary. for everything to settle and stop.

AFM: I'm 32 weeks today... or, if the u/s was more right (which, when I think about it actually is likely... I'm basing EDD off a 28d cycle and I was having 25d cycles... shoot... wish I hadn't thought of that!). Anyways... if that's right I'm another 3-4 days further along. YIKES!
This has seemed real for many months now... but suddenly it seems very real!

My hcg levels are now 5739. That's good right? I am still bleeding.

That does sound hopeful!
Now that your numbers are above 5,000 I would ask them for an immediate/urgent u/s to check on this bleeding. Maybe there's an SCH or something in there, something that would explain it and let you know more of what's happening.

and still for your bean!

I agree. Will they send you for an ultrasound? I'm praying for you mama!!

I agree, go get that U/S for your own peace of mind.

I need some prayers and PT. I have been having prodromal labor for a whole week now, and last night it was painful enough that I couldn't sleep but it always stops and fizzles out. I think you all will get it when I say I'm terrified of him dying during birth. Others will say "he will be fine" but we all know there is no guarantee. I think there is an excellent shot that he will be perfect, but it's hard to get my subconscious to tow that line, you know? I need to let it go, let God be in control, and let my body do what it needs to and trust that he will be okay and I need a lot of support to get there. Oddly enough the thought of the pain of actually giving birth isn't even a blip on my radar. It's the pain what I might lose that's holding me back.
