Hi ladies, I recognize some names from TCF, I was a lurker in the loss boards right before the implosion. I think I could really use being here, mind if I join in?
I'm pregnant for the third time in a year. My past two pregnancies both ended in MMC around 9 weeks followed by D&C, one in Oct and one in March. I had raging pregnancy symptoms for weeks after the losses and didn't find out until my next follow up appointment. With my March loss we had a good us at 7w and saw the HB. Genetic testing identified trisomy 22.
This pregnancy is hitting me hard because I just feel like I can't really embrace it fully because I don't know if I'll have another repeat of before. I had a good us at 6w5d, and have to wait until 10w3d for my next us. I don't want to get too excited until after then, but it just SUCKS waiting with a life possibly hanging in the balance. I was so optimistic with my last pregnancy that I really took a nose dive when the loss happened. I've been hopeful based on some things seen at this scan that look better than my past pregnancy, but again don't want to put too much hope into that.
I've tried reading the pinned mantra and it really helps. I feel like I'm doing a good job of mostly keeping it together, but then on the other hand I feel kinda sad like there's a shadow over what would otherwise be a happy time for me. Oh and I'm praying so hard that this baby is my rainbow. I'm very AMA so continuing to try if this doesn't work out is dicey. So many emotions.
