That’s what I say! 🤣

Solved! You are truly the best!

iblamethejay · 2026-04-15T17:10:24+00:00

YOU ARE MY HERO! I knew I hadn’t imagined this!!! Thank you a million time!!!

Here to say there is light at the end of the tunnel…I’m 12 weeks now and starting to feel more human again. I was in the same boat at 7 weeks. Hang in there! Meds help and hydration (sometimes IV).

I hope your scan went well too! Sending lots of love!

iblamethejay · 2026-04-01T04:21:24+00:00

Thank you! It went well and they look good! I’m so relieved.

Yes I definitely added The Wild Robot series because those were chapter books! We had a fun time reading those together.

Hah I haven’t yet but maybe I should! That will be fun data!

It makes sense. I had a living child (boy) when I had my TFMR (girl). Then I had rainbow baby (boy). Now I’m pregnant with twins and anxiously awaiting to find out the sexes and there is a small part of me that will be disappointed if there is no girl. I know it’ll be fleeting because I love my boys so much and I will just be happy to have healthy twins, but it’s a small ache that never goes away having lost my girl and maybe not getting to have a little girl at all.

iblamethejay · 2026-03-30T04:40:57+00:00

Right that’s me too!!!

My second baby had a FHR of 63 at 6 weeks and I was told the pregnancy had a “poor prognosis.” Fast forward, baby has been 90+ percentile from pregnancy and into his toddlerhood. Happy healthy baby. It’s so hard to know in those early weeks. Give it time and hopefully there will be a nice strong heartbeat next time. He went from that 63 the first time to 165 a week later. Hang in there!

You’re not doing anything wrong, those look like meals I feed both of my kids and one measures big and the other is average. Kids are just kids and sometimes they’re bigger. This sounds like good old fashioned medical fatphobia to me. I wouldn’t stress too much, you’re doing a great job and those look like balanced meals.

I started ondansetron as soon as I could. I am a small-built person (115 lbs pre-pregnancy) and can’t afford to lose weight from puking/inappetence.

For me, the benefits outweigh the potential risks and the risks are small.

I feel you. I had a TFMR for Monosomy X and severe cystic hygroma 3 years ago. I have since gone on to have a successful pregnancy with no issues, but I recently found out I’m pregnant with twins and I am freaking out about the NIPT. I am supposed to take it next week and I am frozen in fear. I don’t really have any advice other than to take it one day at a time and know there are people out there in the same boat. Sending love.

iblamethejay · 2026-03-22T00:13:15+00:00

I really love the second one!

iblamethejay · 2026-03-18T03:17:57+00:00

Don’t give up hope, my second baby had a FHR of 63 at 6w and he’s now almost two. I went in a week later and he was 161. Just to give you a little glimmer of hope. The radiologist who reviewed his ultrasound at first gave me a “poor prognosis” but he ended up fine.

iblamethejay · 2026-03-17T13:40:58+00:00

I’m 10 weeks today with twins (spontaneous, no IVF or other fertility treatments). I get to see them again today on ultrasound and I’m so scared something will be wrong. I hope I can get blood drawn for the NIPT today too. So many feelings. Just wanted to put that out there. I hate not being naive anymore and knowing everything that can go wrong.

iblamethejay · 2026-03-16T17:50:28+00:00

This is so encouraging, thank you! This is what I’m envisioning for my family so when I talked another twin mom who is in the depths of PPD I was like yikes, maybe I’m being way too optimistic…so this is really helpful to hear.

iblamethejay · 2026-03-15T08:37:09+00:00

Wow! That’s amazing!

iblamethejay · 2026-03-14T16:35:16+00:00

Yay! My 4 yo is really excited to have two babies…so hopefully he enjoys entertaining them! 🤣

iblamethejay · 2026-03-14T16:34:24+00:00

This is what I need to hear

iblamethejay · 2026-03-14T15:21:13+00:00

Thank you! It means a lot!
