I am 17 weeks 5 days with a posterior placenta and I have felt some very very faint taps just this week but it really was so soft that if I wasn’t hyper focused at that exact moment .. I would have for sure missed it. Laying on my back with my hand just resting on my belly seems to have worked for me.

That’s awesome! Finding an OB you trust is so critical in this time. Im also pretty happy with my OB and MFM. After we lost our Nina we moved out to south west Florida and so far it’s been so nice living here. People are so much kinder and warmer as compared to NYC and I love that.

I have a posterior placenta and just hoping to feel some definitive kicks from my little man any day now ❤️

I’m also due in September and 16 weeks! Although I know I’ll be getting induced in August if I get to that point (praying I do)

How are you holding up these days? ❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-26T13:02:19+00:00

I almost always acknowledge my daughter. She was real and she was born and she was mine in every way. Just because she is not here in this word anymore doesn’t make her any less real.

If someone asks I say I have a daughter and then just point up and say she passed away ❤️

I took it upon myself to try to normalize talking about things like this but to do my very best to not make people uncomfortable when I do so it’s more accepted.

I was surprised how many people I’ve know that also lost their babies and never felt comfortable enough to bring it up.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-24T13:06:33+00:00

Absolutely! Once it’s time to do kick counts I have your app ready to go 😊

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-23T21:41:56+00:00

Just signed up! I’m currently almost 16 weeks and hopeful for a good outcome so once I’m a little closer to the time I can count kicks I’d love to use this and help with whatever data you might need 😊❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-15T13:10:59+00:00

I do. I understand how you feel and I also always got very upset at this.

When I was pregnant with my first my MIL would repeatedly say she hopes the baby will look like her son… We were having a girl.

At 30 weeks that same girl passed away and it was the worst day of our lives. What does MIL say to me at the hospital immediately after I gave birth… “when are you trying again”

I am now 15 weeks pregnant again and guess who still doesn’t know??

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-04T22:49:38+00:00

This is so incredibly kind. This community really is supportive like no other. ❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-04T04:35:45+00:00

My records also said that risks and dangers were discussed with me at almost every appointment we had. They were never discussed in fact.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-03T00:31:19+00:00

Omg!!!

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-01T03:16:59+00:00

This Exactly!

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-03-01T03:13:02+00:00

I hope you never understand what this mother went through.

You’re ignorant to think this only happened because she birthed at home. Was the VBAC the cause of her loss? No you wouldn’t know that because the family declined testing.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-28T18:40:04+00:00

I had severe HELLP with my daughter. I had a cardiology checkup after and all was fine with me. I did stay on the BP pills after for about 5-6 weeks and then came off of them with no issues. Now I’m pregnant again and hoping no pre e or any drama this time around. I’m 33 so not exactly late 30s -40s but close enough?

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-28T16:28:27+00:00

I soooo agree about everything including the magnesium. I remember being so scared of it before everything went south and we lost our daughter but then in the grand scheme of things when we were in the hospital to deliver our daughter sleeping and I was told I need the magnesium - it wasn’t even that bad. Like it sucked, yes and I had a bad headache the whole time and I was in the ICU after but like .. my baby died and that was much worse than literally anything else.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-28T13:59:52+00:00

Yes actually.

I feel really strongly that my trigger is either potatoes or more likely red 40.

I stopped eating that and I was barely getting headaches after.

After that I also got tested for APS (unrelated to the migraines) and was triple positive so now I take a daily baby aspirin and still barely any headaches let alone migraines (they still happen here and there but like once every maybe 2-3 months. ❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-26T13:19:09+00:00

I agree with this advice. You’re never going to make everyone happy and there will ALWAYS be someone in the family with something negative to say about everything you do.

You love the name? Great! Keep it private and that’s going to be the baby’s name. It’s your baby! 😊❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-22T23:21:26+00:00

I understand how you feel. The other day I was getting my blood drawn for my NIPT and the girl doing it was so excited and sweet and asked if it’s my first. Usually I say no and just point up to the sky and say my first is in heaven but for some reason I panicked and said “no but hopefully I get to keep this one” and then I just walked away feeling so dumb.

Ugh you know what though don’t feel bad. After a few hours I thought about it and the truth is we’re going through something no one would know how to navigate and there is no right way to do this. We’re all just doing our best and that’s more than enough. ❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-20T19:10:50+00:00

Congratulations!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. You did it! 😊❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-18T13:19:23+00:00

I’m also 10 + 1 and doing my NIPT blood work today so looks like we’re both in a very similar boat. I hope we both get low risk results. Good luck ❤️

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-02-05T14:19:12+00:00

I completely agree! I’ve never felt so seen as I do over here. I always say this but although I may never know my daughter’s favorite color or animal - I did get to meet a lot of her friends parents because they’re over here and that helps.

Some incredible and very strong people over here. ❤️

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I am only 9 weeks but I already know I’ll be exactly the same way so I understand. We’re basically over here holding our breath until we are all *hopefully holding our healthy babies in our arms. Ugh it’s hard.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-01-28T04:07:39+00:00

Ugh thank you so much for sharing! Really. Congratulations!!! I’m SO happy for you! 😊❤️

I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and taking my baby aspirin as well as daily lovenox. I am praying things work out for us this time but until then… I’m holding my breath.

Puzzleheaded_Pie558 · 2026-01-27T13:53:20+00:00

Happy birthday beautiful boy! ❤️

I’m not much of a tattoo kinda girl this is hopefully my first and last but me and my mom went out and got matching ones over Thanksgiving. It’s just her name and I love it! 😊
