How far along are you? 17+1

How are you doing physically? Still sick, on day four or five of zero voice. I'm not feeling that sick so it's just really annoying at this point.

Mentally? I'm sad a lot. Many what-ifs traveling through my mind.

Any appointments this week? Nope. MFM on the 14th.

Q/C/T?

QOTW- another one here for my favorite activity being more of a non activity. I just like to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

[shedreamsincolor]

How far along are you? 15w6d

How are you doing physically? Pretty good. Getting over the cold I've had for 3-4 days now.

Mentally? 15w6d is my loss milestone from last pregnancy - today might be a hard day. Planning to go to yoga, have an easy day of work, and do something later to celebrate this LO who as far as we know is still doing fine

Any appointments this week? Nope.

Any questions, comments, or topics you would like to discuss this week?

QOTW: it seems like everyone's starting to go go go now that the warmer weather is upon us, what's your favorites warm weather activity? Hanging out at my parents cabin- walks, bike rides, boat rides, etc.

Thinking about you shedreamsincolor ! I hope your day is relaxed and that you take good care of yourself.

[sophiegrace]

Thinking about you shedreamsincolor!! Hope your day is relaxing and I'm glad you're feeling better.

[shedreamsincolor]

Thanks everyone for the love. I checked LO on the Doppler and they are plugging along at 150 BPM. I am so hopeful that my fear will start to ease up some after today. Different baby, different pregnancy, different outcome. Mantra that has been getting me through these last very trying weeks.

[mommytoava]

How far along are you?

How are you doing physically? still really tired and nauseous, ready for this part of the pregnancy to pass

Mentally? Doing okay this week, feel better after my appointment yesterday



Any appointments this week?
I had my appointment and ultrasound yesterday. Baby is looking good and has a strong heartbeat.


Any questions, comments, or topics you would like to discuss this week? I put my announcement on Facebook last night



QOTW: it seems like everyone's starting to go go go now that the warmer weather is upon us, what's your favorites warm weather activity? I'm glad to be able to go swimming again and hope to get to the beach at some point.

So sorry for the extra stress @sarahwithanh. How long does the increased risk of miscarriage last? As far as the downs diagnosis, I know there are tons of support groups to help answer your questions and help you cope during this early phase. We are all here for you as adjust to this news. Hugs!!

[sophiegrace]

Thinking of you and your H so hard @sarahwithanh. My first reaction when anxious/upset/mentally spent is to step away too, but please know that these are the moments when this community will rise up and be your strength. I will always be available if you need to talk or vent whether here publicly or privately through a message. I'm glad you have good support IRL and I hope they along with your doctor make up a great team to plan ahead as much as possible. As far as enjoying pregnancy, I'm right there with you. This baby is so so wanted and I thought that would be enough to surpass the ugly side effects and anxieties...but dammit do they really really stink!

[kleigh]

@sarahwithanh I share in the support that others have voiced. If time and being alone is what you need, take it and be good to yourself and your H. If talking is what you need, we are all hear to listen in addition to your IRL support. I am so sorry you are dealing with the additional stressors. I trust that you are an amazingly strong woman who is not going to simply handle what she is given but excel at overcoming any apprehension, fear, concern, worry, etc.

I'm not sure. My OBGYN just said that sometimes these babies don't make it to term, but didn't give me any specific information. He is usually very scientific straight forward so I don't know. Honestly there is a lot we don't know. Google (obviously not a real doctor) told me 40% increased risk in 2nd tri but didn't say anything about 3rd. There are a bunch of other things that we have to worry about so the anatomy scan will be a really big deal.

We'll all be "with" you at the A/S wishing so hard for none of the possible complications. Until then, you are pregnant with a precious little baby in there! Hugs to you!

[shedreamsincolor]

@sarahwithanh - I'm sorry that news must have completely rocked you and your family. Take whatever time you need - we will be here. Thinking of you in these weeks leading up to your AS
