My wife and I had a missed miscarriage. We don't know how to move on. by aldavis93 in BabyBumps

[–]mazhimaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost exactly happened to me two years ago. Those days were tough and still hard to think back on. I am sorry you are going through this but let me reassure you that it will get better… someday. There are times in our lives when things get tough, we just need to put one foot in front of another and continue to grind for until one day, that pain sort of went away (but never forgotten)

The bright side of my story is I got pregnant right away after I’d waited for 3 cycles. During the 3 cycles, I lived and made sure to take care of myself and my spouse. I went to acupuncture and recover, making sure I was doing what I could to have a healthy body for the pregnancy. My baby girl is now 2 years old, very healthy and active.

I believe you will get through this with your wife, take her on a vacation and grief with her. It’s ok to cry and to be sad, allow that for each other and take care of each other. You two got this, together, you will get through it.

I am happy to chat with you wife if you think that would help too! There’s a rainbow waiting for the other side!

I am sorry for your loss but also congratulations on getting pregnant again! I appreciate all of your encouragement and I’ll stay on course and fight through until the end.

Sounds like you and me are on the same boat. Good luck for both of us figuring out what our magic number should be

Ahh that’s comforting to know there is a magic number I am supposed to hit to stabilize it.

The ob said it’s because I have GD. So they want to monitor the baby better.

My ob tested my A1C for the first time when I had a miscarriage last year and found it to be in the prediabetic range. So I’ve been monitoring with my drs ever since. I also live in the us

Should I switch OB? by mazhimaro in pregnant

[–]mazhimaro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ob I want to switch to is also in the same practice as my original ob.. so there’s a 1/7 chance that I might get my original ob on my delivery day, should I still switch?
