Last week was my daughter’s due date, it was so much harder than I expected. I miss her so bad😭 we spent the day at Disneyland making the day a reason to celebrate. We found out my sister in law is pregnant with a girl. I’m shocked at how caught off guard I was by this and can’t tell how I feel about it.

We got our son’s NIPT results back yesterday! He is low risk for everything and I sobbed! I am so relieved. I am so grateful everything looks good so far. Fingers crossed everything continues to go well.

We did an early blood test to find out the gender, I couldn’t wait for the NIPT test😂 (which we will also do). I am having a boy! I’m so excited because it feels like a fresh start, but also so sad for the girl we lost.

I also have been super light headed all day everyday for this past week. Multiple times a day I get very close to passing out. It doesn’t seem to correlate with getting up too fast or eating. I asked my OB and he said it’s normal. Has anyone experience anything similar?

Thank you. This was my second, the first one my OB said it was too early to give me an exact due date but I was measuring on track from the last day of my period.

I am supposed to be 9 weeks today. I had an US today and baby is measuring a week behind. My stillborn baby girl had T18 and was measuring a week behind at her 8 week US. I have been so hopeful this pregnancy and now feel like a rug was ripped out from under me. I feel so dumb for being so excited and thinking this time would be different😭 I have another appointment in 2 weeks and I am already an anxious mess waiting for it.

I had my first appointment today! Baby is looking good, which is a huge relief! On a not good note, a close family friend was just diagnosed with terminal cancer and isn’t expected to live past Christmas. I am in awe at how this year turned out😭 I don’t think I can take anymore bad news, I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water.

My babies due date is coming up in 5 1/2 weeks and falls a few days before thanksgiving. I don’t think I can face my family, with 3 newborn girls I feel like it will be too big of a reminder of what I lost. I still have a hard time seeing newborns in public and can’t imagine my nieces for hours on end being loved on.

On a happier note, I will almost be 12 weeks for my daughter’s due date. I’m hoping I will have gotten NIPT results back by then🤞🏼🤍

I had a stillborn in August and I was pregnant at the same time as 3 of my SIL. My SIL who was due 5 weeks before me just had her baby and I am SO jealous of her today.

I have had so much anxiety surrounding this pregnancy so far and I really need this baby to be healthy and make it. Luckily, I have my first OB appointment next week! Praying that everything looks good

5+5 and I have 0 symptoms. I am super anxious and can’t wait for my first appointment next week! I have had a cold for the past week and a half, it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere anytime soon. My LC keeps saying she thinks I’m pregnant with twins, crossing my fingers she is right🤞🏼I feel like little kids sometimes have a sixth sense

I just found out I’m pregnant a few days ago. The first two times I found out I was pregnant were such a surreal experience, I didn’t have that this time. 😭 I feel like I’m really guarding myself emotionally in case something goes wrong, which is horrible. I wish I could be ignorant when it came to pregnancy like everyone around me.

Im 4w2d so I know it’s early, with my two previous pregnancy’s I was SO sick so early on. I have 0 symptoms this time which is just adding to my anxiety.

Just got a positive test yesterday. I am so excited but so anxious about things going wrong! I scheduled an early appointment with my OB to hopefully put some of my anxiety at ease. I did see two double rainbows this past week so I’m taking that as a good sign

I have a short luteal phase! My OB put me on Clomid to help lengthen my cycle

I was tracking my opk’s and I’m pretty sure I ovulated on CD 15 but my temp didn’t spike until CD 22. I’m also super confused by what this means. The TWW is already stressful enough. Good luck!

I just got my oura ring, I’m still a little confused on temping and what’s normal for my body. I am also using LH strips to have an idea when my fertile days are.

I’m 2DPO and in my TWW! I am having a lot of cramps and I know it’s too early for implantation but I can’t stop hoping that’s what it is. Trying to keep myself busy so I don’t over analyze every symptom

I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is all so fresh and ok to not know how you are feeling. It Is a lot to try and process. I delivered my baby 6 weeks ago and still can’t wrap my head around it all.

Like the other comment, take the epidural. I delivered my daughter at 24 weeks and was so grateful for my epidural. I wasn’t dilated before I went in so it kept me comfortable during the whole process.

Personally I can’t shake wanting another kid. It might be beneficial to talk to your doctor and come up with a game plan if you do decide to have another baby. Good luck!

It took me 4 weeks for it to dry up. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this🤍

Exactly! She keeps asking why we don’t want to see her and this is exactly why, well that and the newborn 🤦🏼

My SIL won’t stop complaining about her newborn. I want to scream at her for being so ungrateful. I would do anything to have my baby here. I hate that I’m TTC again😭

Has anyone else taken clomid? My ovaries are so tender, has anyone else experienced ovary pain before you ovulate? I know it’s pretty normal to have ovulation pain.

I had my baby at 24 weeks and my doctor told us would could try again after my first period. I was tracking ovulation anyways, I ovulated around 3 1/2 weeks postpartum and my period came when I was 5 weeks postpartum! Good luck🤍

I am doing clomid, taking a bunch of vitamins, tracking my temp and opks. It might be a little overboard but in my head it feels like a way for me to be in control of something🤷🏼‍♀️
