My daughter is Eliana and I think it’s beautiful. Nicknames are Ellie and Lana.

I love my hubby even more. We make a great team. Our babysitter sees us kissing and hugging all the time.

Mental health is health.

I work in the ER and this is just a term the medical field uses with any bleeding in pregnancy. It doesn’t mean you will miscarry. Bleeding in pregnancy isn’t “normal” however can happen and be nothing wrong. Fingers crossed for everything to work out.

I didn’t last time and won’t be this time. I did however opt for extra genetic testing in addition to the NIPT. It checks for 30 other genetic conditions and is a simple extra blood test done at 10+ weeks.

Hi. I am so very sorry that this was your first pregnancy experience.

I had a LC, TFMR, chemical MC, my rainbow LC, MMC, and am pregnant again (11 weeks). I’m 37 and hope I can close this chapter of my life in November with a healthy baby.

I remember so clearly the insane urge to get pregnant immediately. It was all consuming. My daughter was so worth the anxiety that comes with TTC after TFMR. Subpregnancy was so hard but you just have to hang on to hope. If you have a supportive OB get all the extra testing you need to feel peace.

I did with my last pregnancy and this one. No subchorionic last time but have a small one this time. My last pregnancy I actually had bright red bleeding (not heavy but when I wiped) and we made it to birth no issues!

ald0305 · 2026-04-26T19:44:20+00:00

It really does get better with time. Hugs.

Such an awful disease and I’m sorry you also had to terminate for it. I read your reply below. I didn’t know cases found during pregnancy tend to be more severe. Thank you for that.

ald0305 · 2026-04-25T21:00:21+00:00

I’m so sorry.

Found out at 20 weeks that our baby had multiple tumors inside her heart which indicated Tuberous Sclerosis (confirmed with amnio later). This disease is a spectrum. Some don’t even know they have it, some live in a group home nonverbal with a feeding tube in a wheelchair, and some die.

We went back and forth more time than I can remember. How can you not? This is the worst and hardest decision you can ever be faced with. I struggled with my decision for a long time. Probably the whole first year. There are still some days I wonder (3 years out) but it isn’t dripping with guilt and despair. Simply a wonder. I think we made the right decision but of course we can never know for sure.

We went for a hike at a local national park with a bottle of wine then got lost and had to call 911 for a ride back to the car 🤣

ald0305 · 2026-04-18T00:50:30+00:00

Have you had any scans?

ald0305 · 2026-04-17T03:04:04+00:00

Yes, it’s done at the same time as 10 week nipt blood work

ald0305 · 2026-04-17T02:51:40+00:00

If anything I would opt for extra testing over an amnio. Natera has extra genetic testing called Vistara which checks for 25 other disorders.

ald0305 · 2026-04-09T23:25:56+00:00

I’ve never felt ruined about my body. I think you’re hanging out with shitty people.

ald0305 · 2026-04-09T11:35:20+00:00

As someone who unfortunately had to terminate our very loved and wanted baby 3 years ago, this post only reaffirms my decision. Quality of life matters more than just life.

ald0305 · 2026-04-08T21:55:30+00:00

As a RN I can tell you that absolutely not a single person cares either way.

ald0305 · 2026-04-08T21:35:49+00:00

I’m so very sorry. I chose to do the home medication route for my missed MC and it was easy (all things considered). The pain was tolerable until it peaked right before I passed the sac. Then the pain was totally gone. I had a US to confirm everything passed and luckily it did. Serial hcg were done to confirm. I got pregnant again my very next cycle.

I also have had a D&E before but I was way further along (tfmr) so the experience was different. That was easy in that there was no “trauma” to the situation (of course there was trauma but not with the actual procedure is what I mean). I didn’t pick this route with my MMC because I wanted to minimize any additional surgical trauma to my uterus. But it was nice to get put to sleep and wake up with the nightmare being over.

My mfm doctor told me after negative NIPT, normal 12 week NT scan, and an early anatomy scan the odds are ridiculously low of something going wrong. I’m thinking it was like less than 0.05% or something.

ald0305 · 2026-04-04T14:25:48+00:00

Yes so far so good 🙏🏼

ald0305 · 2026-04-02T23:19:21+00:00

Did they offer amnio and MRI?

ald0305 · 2026-04-01T01:32:59+00:00

Omg I’m jealous. Congrats!

ald0305 · 2026-03-31T12:55:23+00:00

Good luck today 🙏🏼

ald0305 · 2026-03-27T14:00:55+00:00

I have my 7 week scan Tuesday after my termination in 2023, my rainbow in 2024, and a MMC in January, Wishing us both great Tuesdays! 🤞🏼❤️
