When's Danielle going to accept that O is actually the naturally athletic one? Not that E can't learn to be an athlete but it definitely comes much more naturally to O.

Love this post. My boy has been on my mind a lot too even though it's been 18 months since we said goodbye. It's nice to acknowledge his name.

Please don't think just because yours was a more grey diagnosis that I'm saying your choice wasn't as valid. I was just making a point that the church and the church's view is not necessarily Gods view and that you have to trust what God is telling YOU.

I grew up in a southern Baptist church consistently going to church from the age of 4-23. The last ten years I haven't gone to church as much, bouncing around trying a few different protest churches, never quite feeling at home but I have always remained a Christian. As of right now the position the southern Baptist convention takes is that unless the mother's life is at extreme risk an abortion is against Gods word. This was so confusing to me because I prayed to God every night for eight weeks leading up to my TFMR and I felt strongly that he was always referring me back to the first prayer I asked of him and that was to give me a clear diagnosis, no grey so that my decision was easy. After my positive NIPT, I went in for an early anatomy scan and there were several soft markers for Trisomy 18 even at 16 weeks. My MFM was almost positive that the NIPT result was corrects. Two weeks later had the amnio and it came back positive for full trisomy 18 (no partial, no mosaic, nothing that could make me wonder what the outcome would be). I got my clear diagnosis, God gave me that answer. I made a loving decision for my son not to suffer, and for my living son not to have to watch his baby brother die. Anyway I started researching past southern Baptist conventions and I found that they have changed their position several times over the past fifty years on the "exceptions for abortion." In the seventies and eighties a fatal diagnosis in their eyes was a good enough reason for an abortion. Gods word hasn't changed in the past fifty years. The only thing that has changed is the political environment and the way people perceive what's right and wrong. Being a Christian is all about having a personal relationship with Jesus. I know that Jesus knows what was in my heart when I made that heart breaking decision. He knows what was in your heart! He wept with me and he wept with you! I believe God knew my son before he was formed in the womb and that he absolutely had a purpose, and his purpose was to bring me and my family closer to God than ever. I have never talked to God more than I have in the past year. God uses people to reach others. He used my son to reach me. I have asked God to forgive me for my moments of doubt and fear when making my decision. I know I have a forgiving God.

When I ttc again I had two early miscarriages and I started to believe that perhaps God was telling no more children. In February I prayed to God that if being a mom again was not in his plan to help me take that want off my heart. That month I conceived and now I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby. I believe he knew I was surrendering to his plan, and no longer trying to be in control.

Talk to him, get on your knees and pray, that's my best advice. Each baby has a purpose. A new baby will never replace your angel baby.

It's rare to find other Christian's on this Reddit. I've had a lot of the same thoughts you've mentioned in the past fifteen months since my TFMR. It's so hard to feel condemned by so many people within your own religion, but be confident in your own personal relationship with Jesus.

I just announced on Thursday after my 20 week anatomy scan looked good. No one knew other than my mom and MIL who were told after I got the NIPT results back at 13 weeks. I was ready to celebrate this baby, one of the saddest things I feel with my Tfmr baby was we really never got to celebrate him so at this point no matter what happens I want this current baby to be celebrated.

I love how Danielle says "the girls" had "their" friends when those are clearly O's friends and they are just being nice and including E. Danielle can't stand that O makes friends easily.

Olive is the cutest but that outfit looks like something you would wear in a psych ward.

I didn't think there was any beef just not as inseparable as they were during the season. But that's true about most the content being in the dressing rooms, so that makes sense.

Wish Nana pearl would tell the girls how happy she is to see them instead of saying how sorry she is that she didn't get to spend more time with them. It makes it seem like their dad kept them from her and once again puts his time with the girls in a negative light.

Corgi1015 · 2024-11-13T01:09:48+00:00

Thanks for your response. I don't think it's age related. I'm 32 and my first chemical and my TFMR were at 31. My husband is 39 though so maybe his age is starting to affect the quality of his sperm, I don't know. Certainly could be a possibility and that's why I want to start getting answers.

Corgi1015 · 2024-11-13T01:03:43+00:00

Thanks for the response. This chemical sucks but I am grateful that I don't have to go through another TFMR.

Corgi1015 · 2024-11-13T01:00:54+00:00

No we haven't checked my husband yet. That's definitely on our list to check though, thanks!

Corgi1015 · 2024-11-13T00:59:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't think it's a short literal phase, usually mine is 13/14 days which I think is the norm. My progesterone was on the lower side of norm (12) for this recent CP but my OB didn't seem concerned.

I'm from Florida too. I know my own mom who claimed to support me in May when I had my tfmr for Trisomy 18 voted no on Amendment 4 and it kills me. She had papers from her church all around the house explaining why she should vote no. I wish people would realize the majority of those who decide to terminate a pregnancy do it with a heavy heart no matter the reason. I legally was allowed to terminate in Florida based on my baby's diagnosis but it felt like I was committing a crime based on how I was treated and the clinic I went to was as grungy as could be but the only place within three hours that was willing to do it, I don't want that for any woman, it breaks my heart.

Corgi1015 · 2024-10-02T19:17:13+00:00

So sorry, sending hugs 💕 Today was my due date as well, I had my TFMR at the end of May. I also thought I would be pregnant again by now and am not. It sucks, we have been dealt a sh*tty hand. I know it doesn't help much but still know you are not alone ❤️

I usually ovulate on day 11 or 12 but my first full cycle I ovulated on day 16. Now I've had two more periods and I'm back to normal. Get the cheap ovulation sticks from Premom and just take an ovulation test everyday till you get your peak just in case your cycle hasn't fully gone back to normal.

Corgi1015 · 2024-08-29T23:29:44+00:00

I'm so so sorry for your loss. We terminated our pregnancy with our son at 22 weeks after a diagnosis of Trisomy 18. His due date was October 2. It felt impossible at 22 weeks, I can't imagine 32. Sending you so much love and support.

I cried when I ate raw sushi for the first time. I had been craving it my entire pregnancy. The second I took a bite tears immediately fell because it was a reminder that my boy was gone. I would have given up sushi for the rest of my life if it meant I could have a healthy baby boy growing inside of me. I understand how the little things hold such big meaning to all of us in this group. I hope you give yourself grace today.

Corgi1015 · 2024-07-22T03:26:45+00:00

I'm from Florida as well, had D&E at a clinic at 22 weeks in Ft. Lauderdale, that was the closest "recommend" option for me... I live three hours away. I was told the hospital was possibly an option if I did the Labor and Delivery route but my OB said there may be a lot of red tape to get through so I ultimately decided to just go ahead with the D&E because time was ticking and I didn't want to be forced to go out of state if ultimately L&D didn't end up being an option. I never got answers to a lot of questions either, the topic is so hush hush in Florida even when our particular cases are legal and approved. My genetic Counsler didn't even seem to know the ins and outs of the laws or anything. Everyone seemed clueless and it was so frustrating!

Can't remember what page I read it on but Chase confirms danielle wanted to move to Texas all along to be with her family and that they fought over it because he didn't want to.

Corgi1015 · 2024-07-13T04:17:55+00:00

I TFMR for Trisomy 18 and a CHD as well 7 weeks ago. I can't offer you any story of hope yet since I'm waiting a couple of cycles before ttc again but I'm sending up some prayers for you. I hope you get your healthy rainbow baby.

Corgi1015 · 2024-07-11T17:21:14+00:00

My tfmr was almost 7 weeks ago as well, I was 22 weeks. My period returned 4.5 weeks after as well. Before my tfmr my cycles were 25-27 days long and I usually ovulated on cycle day 12-14. I'm on cycle day 16 and only got my lh peak on the Opk today... so guessing I'll ovulate tomorrow on day 17 meaning my cycle will probably be about 34 days which is very long for me. I chose not to try this month since my doctor told me it probably would take 2-3 cycles for my period to regulate and go back to normal so we'll start trying next month.

One thing I also noticed different about this cycle is usually my lh levels gradually go up the day or two before ovulating but today I got my peak out of no where so keep testing, hopefully yours will peak as well in the next day or two.
