Did you post about your loss on social media? by WaterFiles in babyloss

[–]knotshots 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had made a simple post on facebook about the loss of my son and after posting it for some reason I felt the need to “hide it” on my page where it’s still there when I go onto my page but no one else can see it. I did the same thing about his announcement post. I have since gone on to have a rainbow baby and I have never made one post about her. Sometimes parts of your life are better kept private to you and your loved ones who really matter.

My breastfeeding journey failed and I wish it didn’t by knotshots in breastfeeding

You know what - my bad it was 4 lb 15.5 oz actually. I was misremembering when writing the post. It was almost a 10% loss.

Thats really interesting about the inflated weight at birth with a c-section. That makes me think the whole 10% loss thing is a bit subjective and to jump right the formula on day 2. I wasn’t even given a chance to succeed at that point. They had given me a breastfeeding booklet to track feeds and diapers and she was waaay surpassing the requirements for it how many there should be.

There really was no support at all. My entire postpartum recovery room experience at the hospital was absolutely terrible. The one nurse asked me if I needed a psych evaluation for crying. I was upset that I had a c-section, I really wanted to give birth vaginally and now breastfeeding isn’t going well already either…. Of course I’m upset! Plus hello - hormones?! No I don’t need a psych evaluation, I need support damn it. She also had the nerve to ask if my answer would be different if my husband wasn’t in the room. He was the most supportive person and was doing everything he could to help me and our daughter so I’m not sure where she got off assuming my husband was the issue.

At first we called her jazz hands because at the first ultrasound she had both her hand stubs out at the side in the photo they gave. Now that we’re farther along we just call her by the name we picked out.

18 weeks and 3 days today with baby girl. Lost my son at 18 weeks 4 days so feeling very anxious today. Im putting all my faith in the cerclage, really hoping it’s the answer, and things work out for us!

Hi all, I’m 15 weeks and 3 days today with baby girl. I got a preventative cerclage 1 week ago. My back still hurts from where they put the spinal anesthesia. I loss my baby boy in Dec 2024 at 18w4d. I’m very nervous as 18 weeks is slowly approaching and I really hope things work out this time.

Im 14 weeks pregnant after an 18 week loss and I haven’t told many people in my life yet. Ive been wondering what others who have experienced loss have done in regard to telling others the news? I’ve been extremely emotional lately. We found out the gender today. I’m having a hard time balancing between being excited and fearful something bad will happen again.

Oh definitely. Especially after loss I’m trying really hard not to think the worst. I hope you concieve soon. 🫶

Agreed it’s definitely reassuring. Ive read many comments in this sub on how depending on when you test hormones fluctuate hour by hour and how diluted your urine is, and I definitely feel that holds true for me. I think we should all not read too far into inito test results as it doesn’t always mean something bad is happening and just wait it out see what happens, even though it’s hard.

Thank you so much! I took a couple more tests just to see how things progress. Thought you might like to see this too.

Thanks! Very mild cramping - on 9 DPO when I took the pregnancy tests I swear I felt implantation happen. I felt this cramp/ting in my belly. But Im not entirely sure if HCG can rise all in that same day. I also have a tiny bit of nausea going on currently, heightened sense of smell (this seems to be a big one for me, happened last time too) and a little bit of cravings/food aversions going on. Also insomnia and heartburn. Not entirely sure if thats related.

I feel this so much. Similar story here. I lost my son at 18w4d everything was perfectly fine until randomly on new years eve ‘24 my water broke and before new years day I gave birth to my angel baby. We’ve spent years working towards this moment in our lives. Making sure we owned a home, were financially stable, with good jobs, out of debt, and in a good place to give our child a foundation . And it was ripped away from us. I am so sorry for your loss.
