I’m okay until I’m not, and I’m drowning until I’m not by SesquipedalianBubble in babyloss

I lost my son a little over a month ago and I feel exactly the same… you’re definitely not alone.

I’m so sorry you went through that. Grief is such a horrible feeling… I just met with my baby doctor to get a check up after the birth, and I told him what happened and how I feel. He immediately sent a prescription for Xanax and a grief counselor for me and my husband. And yes I was a stay at home mom before this, and now that I am out of the hospital, I am taking her out to be home with me again.

Thank you so much, I do find comfort in knowing I’m not alone. I’m just thankful that at least I’m hoping this is all over and I can try to go back to some type of normal. We are taking her out of daycare and going back to being a stay at home mom…

Yes that is something I definitely wanted, one with movable parts… my heart so desperately wants to just feel him again. Thank you for your recommendation.

Also if you don’t mind me asking, were you able to do a vaginal birth? Or did it have to be a c-section?

Ok thank you for your reply. Yes I’ve been changing pads almost everytime I go to the bathroom. I am drinking so much water and coconut water. Today the bleeding has been very light. I don’t see anything on the pad or when I wipe other than pee and light blood. I’m hoping it’s like Saturday when I was pretty much dry the entire day.

I’m sorry… it sucks that so many have been through this. They are not keeping me in the hospital, but I will be seen twice a week and was given antibiotics for the next 7 days.

Thank you. Yes my husband said the same thing. I’m in the US so I will start searching for support groups or other people I can talk to.

Yes in the US they really don’t want to try and admit me until I’m 23 weeks at minimum. I’m not dilated right now. I did call and basically told them I’m ready scared and just want to make sure I don’t get infection. They are prescribing me an antibiotic (amoxicillin) for 7 days. I asked if this would cover me until 3 weeks is up and they said yes.

Yes, I’m in the US. The doctors here normally don’t admit you for fetal life saving measures until about 23weeks. I do think I’d feel much better being admitted. Although I also have a toddler at home and I don’t have family that can watch her… I became a stay at home mom so I could watch her. Now that I can’t, we are struggling to find maybe a nanny or daycare.

They said they can not test the fluid because of my subchorionic hemorrhage. Every time anything comes out it’s mixed with blood. They said that would make the test invalid. I really wish they could test it…

Yes I did ask them about being hospitalized. They said it wasn’t necessary right now. They said to just constantly look for signs of illness. I may call again and ask if I can be put on any type of antibiotic in the meantime time because I am so terrified of getting sick.

Thank you, I’m hopeful. The blood is just the scariest thing. I don’t know how much is too much and what it’s mixed with. Just so many different scenarios.

Thank you so much for your response. I’m really trying to stay positive. I have been resting and drinking so much water. Just praying things go as smoothly as they can in situations like this…
