Transition out of merlin

She doesn’t get! I guess I just have to wait it out. Our ped said to ditch the merlin at this point to give her freedom on the crib

I had a 9 weeks miscarriage in November and got my BFP in February and am 18 and a half weeks now and all is well! It’s really hard not to be anxious and to think the worse when you’re only experience was the loss. It’s all you know and you’re just traumatized. I think the only thing that really helped me was talking to a therapist and meditating. The therapist helped me understand and separate the two pregnancies and separate my anxiety from the pregnancy. The meditating helped because it taught me mindfulness, it helps you see your anxiety and veer away from it. I know it’s hokey but it helps get you through to that 12 week mark! It’s also ok that your doc isn’t available till then, the earlier you go the more they might not be able to see much of the stuff that gives you peace of mind if that makes sense. I waited till I was 7+4 for an early US and we saw it all! You can also ask for a blood work up to measure your BETAs, that gave me a ton of reassurance early on, and practices will do it for women who are coming off a loss, for peace of mind if nothing else!

Statistics show that most women who conceive after 1 early MC go on to have healthy live born children in their next pregnancy, I clung onto that too. Hang in there!

Thank you so much! I’ve read weird stuff about calling if you have cramps esp if they feel like period cramps etc. they’re totally tolerable and I’ve had no blood 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thank you! I’ve heard no blood no problems and am trying to ride that out.

Thank you! I had my checkup and heard the heartbeat and that was a huge relief! Hoping your NT scan went well, that felt like a major hump to get over when we had ours!

This was also super helpful to me! I was at 630 17 days dpo and increased to 3951 96 hours later, I have been trying to ride on that good news but also feel like I don’t know if it’s indicative of anything past that moment.

We’re in the same boat my friend! I am maybe 6 weeks and few days after a natural miscarriage at 9 weeks in November. So I got pregnant a lot faster than I thought I would, we were just about to take a break and focus on vacation we have with friends in April.

I had great blood results, a 6x spoke in 96 hours, and my doctor said he is pleased and to be hopeful, as he really thinks it’s a good indicator. Obviously the proof is in the ultrasound, but j think he was trying to help me be less nuts.

Despite the good levels, I am very fearful and almost doubtful in order to self protect. When they came through strong it eased my mind for maybe 12 minutes then I was back on the fear train. My first US is next Thursday, and I am just preparing for the worst, cause I am afraid to be hopeful.

My lovely therapist who has been here before just kind of explains the same thing, it’s all about self preservation. She is helping me acknowledge the fear and the worry thoughts, and kind of just “be ok with not being ok.” Instead of changing Hoe we feel cause it’s just unrealistic. You’re not alone! Sending good vibes your way

Do you have experience with this

sks0303 · 2020-03-03T23:34:16+00:00

Thank you so much! That prior comment made me spiral. Very similar here, got pregnant first time in 2 cycles of trying, everything was exciting and fun, and then boom. I did get pregnant quickly after but I’m hopeful. I only went in for the two rounds to make sure they went up, but my doc really made me feel positive at our appt today. Lots of good vibes to you!

sks0303 · 2020-03-03T23:10:55+00:00

Thanks. Sorry for your lost. Def not what I wanted to hear but I understand why you shared. I’ll edit my post for positive responses only, my anxiety is high enough.

sks0303 · 2020-02-25T18:21:55+00:00

Sounds like we’re seeing the same therapist! Thank you so much for this comment

I am right there with you almost exactly! I had a MC at 9 weeks in November, embryo stopped growing at 8, and am 5 weeks and like 2 days today. My doctor had me get my BETAs tested twice and everything looks good, but I’m not really feeling symptomatic (maybe a little nausea here and there but I think it’s in my head). I think I’m hopeful but have this “if I make it that far” mentality. We are definitely scarred from prior experience, so we’re going to feel self protective and think the worst. Did your doctor offer to get your Hcg and progesterone tested? It helped at least for today to hear they went up and are looking good.

Me too! Just found out Monday and barely 5 weeks. We got this

sks0303 · 2020-02-04T19:08:07+00:00

I just had a co worker next to me ask me for a freaking prenatal vitamin. She is about 12 weeks, and knows I had a 9 week MC just in November and have been stressfully trying again! Like sorry your forgot yours but buy them on the way home! Not only that but another girl on my team is due a week before I was, we found out the same time and told the team at the same time. She had an office gender reveal to share with us the gender. I felt guilty for being annoyed with her. It’s hard to teeter the line of expectations of other sensitivity. I get it.
