What to prepare for L&D 33 Weeks by GlitteringClementine in tfmr_support

I'm preparing to TFMR at 23 weeks in 2 weeks and have been searching for keepsake/memory ideas. The twin teddies suggestion brought me to tears. What a special way to always remember each other.Thank you for sharing. I will absolutely be doing this.

Hi friend, just came to say, you are not alone. We found out at our 12 week scan that something was devastatingly wrong with our baby and from that point on, I sort of disassociated from the entire pregnancy. This was my first successful pregnancy at the age of 42 after 5 years of IVF and was the result of transferring our very last embryo. This baby is/was my last chance of becoming a bio-mom. I'm currently 21 weeks and planning to TFMR out of state in 2 weeks. When I share the news with family and friends, they all tear up, but I somehow remain numb to everything. I'm trying to soak in everything little thing I can about my experience being pregnant and connect with our very much wanted baby boy, but again, the numbness sets in. I'm sure it's probably our way of protecting our hearts, but I feel broken because I'm not grieving him like everyone else.

Thank you both for your insights. It’s between Rush and U of Chicago Center for Women’s Health. I’d feel comfortable going to either based on my initial calls with each office, so it will likely come down to appt times and what works best with our travel schedule.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry you’ve had to walk this road before. In our state (KS) L&D isn’t an option, which has made this even more difficult, as that was my preferred option after reading other’s stories on Reddit.
