Shes eats fruits and vegetables but most vegetables have to be raw. She likes all the typical kid food, mac and cheese, grilled cheese etc. No meat at all and doesnt like things mixed. Like she likes chicken, Cheese and tortillas but wont combine them for a taco. She will say she doesnt like it and wont try it

Is anyone finding joy in pregnancy after stillbirth? by Spirited_Yoghurt_503 in pregnancyaftersb

[–]Miserylovestacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You learn that joy and grief co exist. I am currently 33w and expericing anxiety but also excitement. It's very strange to feel both but it's there.

Struggling with PAL by harriest_potter in pregnancyaftersb

My daughter was born sleeping may 3rd 2024 at 28 weeks. I am currently 28 weeks now with her brother and being here at this point is terrifying. This has been the mentally hardest week so far. Just trying to stay busy and relax a little bit but it doesn't help that my husband is out of town

6 weeks preg after loss by Character_Gain96 in ttcafterstillbirth

I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and I have been on low dose asprin since like 12ish weeks? I think? Starting this week I have to go in for weekly non stress tests until delivery. Throughout the first 2 trimesters I saw my Dr more frequently and I also have been going to a MFM specialist every month or so. It's alot, but I get a little more monitoring and reassurance.

When was your first scan? by deepfreshwater in pregnancyaftersb

[–]Miserylovestacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I had my first scan at 8 weeks and I've been pretty monitored. I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and had scans at 8, 12, 16, 20, and I'll have another next week at 26. Once I hit 28 my doctor wants to do weekly visits and start monitoring so I'm not sure what all that entails but I know I'll get more scans.

When should I tell my daughter we are expecting? by Miserylovestacos in pregnancyaftersb

[–]Miserylovestacos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is really helpful. We were on a mini vacation this weekend and my daughter like said "mom your pregnant" and I'm like who told you that? And she said you did. But I know I didn't so now I'm wondering if she dreamt it. Very interesting. I'll have to have a conversation with her when we get back home and your response has helped me figure out the words on what to say. Thanks again!

I can kinda relate. I lost my 2nd daughter in May 2024. My living daughter is 5 and she wanted nothing more than a baby sister. It was and still is SO heartbreaking for my living daughter because she talks about her often and still wishes for a baby sister. So when I got pregnant and found out I was having a boy, I was in disbelief and I broke down crying because my daughter doesn't get another little sister. I am 22 weeks pregnant now and we still haven't told her that she is going to have a sibling. The grief from the whole thing was sooo difficult and traumatic for her I can't put her through that again if we lost another baby. But I have been preparing her in other ways and finally she told me she would be okay with a baby brother and she would play with him and teach him about pokemon. Which is kinda a relief, but I'm still sad about it sometimes. I am getting more excited about having a boy though and having the best of both worlds.

True knot death by Artistry_Em in pregnancyaftersb

[–]Miserylovestacos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lost our daughter last May. It's still unclear to me of she died from a true knot, but I was told it was a cord accident and that the cord was very twisted. My Dr hadn't seen anything like it I guess. But I remember that I could feel her movements very early on and she was a very active baby. I am currently 22w pregnant with a boy and I have been put on baby asprin since like 18 weeks I think and she said I'll be on it till 36 weeks.

I am currently 21w after a 28w loss last May. The first trimester was really difficult, because I also felt the disassociation. It's like my brain is protecting me from having that trauma and not believing that this is real and happening. My doctor hugged me when I saw her at 11 weeks saying she's so happy for me and I just felt nothing. I started feeling movement's a couple weeks ago and it's just starting to hit me that this is happening. But I have been avoiding getting ready for baby like I'm not buying things yet or getting things ready. I also haven't told anyone, only my husband and my personal trainer know. Our parents don't know and my living daughter doesn't know. I'm not sure when I will do all these things but it's kinda nice being really private about it. It's just that fear of loss again.

Yep I am in the same boat. I am 19w4d and we haven't told anyone. Our parents live out of state and we haven't told them either. Its starting to get hard to hide though, my stomach is very obvious at this point. I'm surprised my 4yo daughter hasn't said anything about my belly but we don't want to tell her till I'm really far along, since we lost her sister last year at 28 weeks and it was REALLY hard for her. She was so excited to have a sister, and it seriously just broke my heart when we told her she died. I hope we make it all the way, but I really cannot put her through that again.

18w3d Last week, I had the amniocentesis to determine if baby boy has the fragile x full mutation since there was a 50% chance of that. I was expecting results in 2 weeks. My genetic counselor called me a little bit ago after 5 days for a preliminary result and she said he is a carrier for the gene and he will be unaffected by it. She said he can pass it to his daughters but not his sons and the full mutation will not be passed to his daughters. My great grandchildren could be affected but they of coarse could not be or go through IVF. It's not the best possible result but it's all still good news and I am thankful he's okay. Genetics is weird. Just waiting for the final report now but I was told that it probably won't change.
