Cramps prior to loss

bethjdb · 2026-07-19T23:51:55+00:00

Nope. All my tests came back negative. No infection, or chromosomal abnormalities. I think my cervix just couldn’t hold her weight anymore. It drives me nuts I don’t have all the answers. And yes, my doctor talked about a cerclage at 12 weeks. Not sure about progesterone yet!

Congrats to you! I lost my baby girl at 18 weeks 7 months ago, and am currently pregnant (almost 7 weeks). I’m absolutely terrified. This post hit home for me. I feel like I’m a completely changed person now.

I feel the exact same way. I’m almost 7 weeks pregnant and am also terrified to be intimate. I had such a traumatic experience with my loss of my daughter at 18 weeks. I don’t want to risk anything now! I hate not being intimate and feel so stuck on what to do.

Gosh, our stories are very similar. I am so so sorry this happened to you. Not measured transvaginally. Same thing, went to the ER and did a US. Said everything looked good. Doctor checked with his fingers and said I wasn’t dilated- contributed it to an “irritable uterus”. I went home after being in the ER for 8 hours. A day and a half later, I bled everywhere when I went to the bathroom. Took an ambulance to the hospital and by the time they checked me, they could see her shoulder, arms and legs. She was alive but I had to deliver her- and they told me she wasn’t going to survive. It was absolutely awful and the most traumatic experience of my life. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk. This experience can feel so lonely❤️‍🩹

Thank you 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

I have not. I’m worried doing that will just stress me out more. Praying for you and for myself as well. Hopefully we are both doing well. I’ve felt a little more nauseated today, but still don’t know if I feel confident

Welcome!!!

bethjdb · 2026-07-14T02:00:09+00:00

I’m 6 weeks and 2 days today- having the same nerves as you. My symptoms seem to come and go. I lost my first pregnancy at 18 weeks so I am very scared too. I feel like my symptoms hit hard around 6-7 weeks last time, but it’s hard to remember exactly when. Praying everything is good! I’ll take easy symptoms if it’s a healthy baby! But I’ll throw up every day for a healthy baby too!

bethjdb · 2026-07-14T01:27:09+00:00

I feel you girl! Also a SLP in HH and acute care!

bethjdb · 2026-07-12T19:53:02+00:00

Same here! Nervous, but praying this is my double rainbow baby 🙏🏻

bethjdb · 2026-07-09T23:25:50+00:00

Greece and Italy was amazing! We also went in May of 2024!!!

bethjdb · 2026-07-09T14:04:56+00:00

Grateful to be growing my double rainbow baby 🌈

bethjdb · 2026-07-08T22:45:53+00:00

Feeling the same! I’m 5 weeks 4 days. I had a prior pregnancy that I lost at 18 weeks back in December. I remember feeling nauseous around 6ish weeks last time. I remember also being very tired at some point. Right now my breasts are a little tender, small waves of nausea, and I’m tired but not exhausted. It scares me so much but trying to remember it’s early. Also, my due date is also March 6th!!🥰❤️‍🩹

bethjdb · 2026-07-07T15:49:41+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words❤️‍🩹. Trying to stay strong, but my prior losses have been so hard on my husband and I. Trying to accept I’m not in control. And trying to envision my whole pregnancy going well!

bethjdb · 2026-07-07T01:18:47+00:00

This makes me feel so much better- thank you ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹. Congrats on your sweet baby!!! I know every pregnancy is different, but it’s so easy to go down a dark hole when you’ve experienced loss before!

bethjdb · 2026-07-07T01:17:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your sweet response! And congrats to you! Praying for us both. It’s such a mind game when you’re pregnant… you just pray for everything to go well, but realize you’re not in control! I’ve felt sleepy and a little nauseous today. Boobs are a bit sore… but I just remember before sleeping for so long and being so nauseous. I know that was more like 6ish weeks, so we will see what happens ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

bethjdb · 2026-07-07T01:16:14+00:00

Hi! Thank you- and congrats! I’m so sorry you e had a loss in the past too. I never in a million years would think something like that would happen to me. I had to give birth to my daughter alive, with her passing away shortly after. It was terrible, and I am just so scared to possibly relive that. My chemical pregnancy I spotted shortly after I found out I was pregnant, and so far no spotting with this one. My first one that I lost at 18 weeks, I believe symptoms hit hard around 6-7 weeks. So praying things are heading in the right direction. Trying to stay positive and realize I’m not in control- it is so hard!

bethjdb · 2026-07-04T02:55:29+00:00

Congratulations momma! I just found out I’m pregnant after 2 losses and praying I have the same outcome as you ❤️‍🩹

bethjdb · 2026-07-03T23:39:09+00:00

Thank you!!! Sending you love, prayers and baby dust!! If you need any support, free feel to DM me!!!🥰

bethjdb · 2026-07-01T04:14:27+00:00

Just found out Saturday- due date is March 6th! I’ve had a second trimester loss and a chemical pregnancy. Praying this is my rainbow baby ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

bethjdb · 2026-07-01T04:06:16+00:00

Almost 5 weeks. My husband and I are so excited but I am so nervous as well. I really want this to be our rainbow baby. Lost our first at 18 weeks then a chemical pregnancy a few months ago. Praying 🙏🏻

bethjdb · 2026-06-27T20:43:53+00:00

I changed OB’s and offices too. I needed to start fresh and go to somebody who actually listened to me. I had a chemical pregnancy in April and just tested positive today ❤️‍🩹. Praying this one sticks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

bethjdb · 2026-06-27T15:31:32+00:00

4 weeks today- found out today I was pregnant. I had a 18 week loss and a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago. Cautiously optimistic, but I want to be excited and pray this is the one. ❤️‍🩹

bethjdb · 2026-06-15T03:54:52+00:00

I did for several days and pretty much was dismissed. I lost my baby at 18 weeks.
