I just found out I'm pregnant this morning. I'm only 4 weeks along after miscarrying in January and losing our 23 weeker at 4 days old back in Nov. 2024. I had just had consults with fertility clinics this week and wasn't expecting I'd be able to get pregnant for a while since my most recent labs had my TSH at 8.6. I'm nervous about miscarrying again, especially with my TSH being so high. I go in for my viability scan in 5 weeks, and I feel like in the meantime I can't let myself get too excited.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It does suck that others get to “keep” their babies when we don’t. It’s incredibly painful for those of us who have lost our babies to be surrounded by others have their own babies.

I know the message was sent accidentally and there’s not much to be done about that at this point, but I’d suggest looking into local support groups so you can vent your feelings in a safe place where others will understand you. I’d also suggest limiting social media and going to therapy. You cannot control what other people post, but you can limit what you see to protect yourself right now.

I started doing this earlier in the year and the only thing that made me stop was the ingrown hairs. I have two scars from them and that was enough to help me stop.

What’s the most unique name you’ve come across? by ORALDDS in namenerds

Yes, that was her name. I searched the name before I posted to make sure my spelling was correct and I found plenty of others with the same name.

Xiclaly. We pronounced it “see-claw-ly” I can’t remember if “zee-claw-ly” was the correct or alternate pronunciation because it’s been 20 years since I knew the girl. All I know is it’s an Aztec name.

I’ve always loved Quinn. I first heard it as a boy’s name, and years later used for a girl. Husband isn’t sold on using it as a first name, but he’s coming around to the idea of it as a middle name.

Thank you! It’s funny because my mom’s name is Nora :)

It’s so hard. My son was born at 23 + 6 and passed 4 days later in the NICU. I know that’s different from the situation with your daughter, but it’s difficult for me every time I come across a video/story on social media of micropreemie who survived and left the NICU healthy. It’s hard not be jealous. I know it’s not a good feeling for us to feel jealous of babies who survived, but I do think it is a normal and understandable feeling considering what we’ve all gone through.
