sorry I've been gone *bfp warning*

[mrswheelo]

It's been a stressful, sad, happy week for the Wheelo's. My MIL was just diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma.  I had an accident going down my stairs (just call me grace), & we got our first bfp since we lost our twins.


I would love to continue the loss check-in. I feel lost without it & love hearing how you all are doing. Is everyone ok with me continuing the check in? I only ask bc we are now CAR & I don't want to hurt anyone by posting. I think this board is safe to post if you are CAR, but I want to be sure everyone agrees.

Congrats!!!! I'm fine with you continuing on - but I also have my rainbow. (Although I participate too...)

I think it's fine.

Thanks guys! DH is putting up a front to make me think he isnt sad about his mom & is trying to live in the land of "nothing bad ever happens when you're pregnant if you don't worry". So, metaphoracally, we are sleeping in different rooms. CAR is a total mind *f*. I'm so happy!!! And I'm so nervous. As we've all found out the hard way, there is no "safe zone".

With our first pregnancy, I thought we were safe after 16 weeks. On the CAR board, so many women feel secure when they get to a point where a hb can be detected. Those women have never delivered a late term baby. I am sooo happy that late term loss is a minority. But, I won't get to have that feeling of security Until I'm holding our baby and the dr tells me everything is fine. Even then, I'm not sure.

Physically, I feel fine. I never had morning sickness with the twins, so we will see what this one brings. My fall down the stairs left me bruised, but nothing major. We haven't told anyone about the pregnancy yet, So there's a certain anxiety Comes from keeping the secret. Lol.
Thank you all for the well wishes for baby-n-me, & MIL. Just telling you guys makes it all feel a little less overwhelming.

So sorry about your MIL, but so happy for your BFP! Congratulations! CAR is definitely different for those like us.

***pregnancy mention


Perhaps there could be a CAR check in on this board, for those like us with later losses or infant loss? I'm due in less than 3 weeks so I'm not a good candidate to run it, but the check in on TB was extremely helpful for me and I think it could be for the ladies over here, too!

So behind given it's been crazy busy at work the past couple of weeks. Totally OK with you continuing the check ins.

Sorry to hear about your MIL. Hoping against hope she will survive and thrive. Are you doing physically OK after the fall?

Mazel tov, BTW!
