I'm heartbroken to say I need to be removed from this check in. It was amazing being here with you ladies and I wish you all the best.


**Trigger/Loss Warning**

SPOILER: Click to show

Our daughter Zoe's water broke at 17 weeks exactly. The three of us held on for another week, but I went into labor at 18 weeks. I delivered Alexis just before 8 am on the 7th. She was beautiful and absolutely perfect. At that point, labor stalled despite pitocin. I was moved to cytoec after 8 hours, began convulsing and delivered Zoe. I started hemorrhaging immediately after and was not able to see or hold her before being taken to emergency surgery. I miss my girls more than I would have thought possible. I will be lurking and taking joy from seeing each of your beautiful babies arrive.

fishchicks I am so incredibly sorry, there are no words, but I am offering you all the creepy internet hugs and peaceful and heeling thoughts and prayers. My heart it breaking for you and YH. Please take care of yourself.

[doves654]

fishchicks I am so, so sorry. I don't even know what to say. My heart is breaking for you. Please take as good of care of yourself as you can.

[sms2524]

fishchicks I am so so sorry for the loss of your precious girls. My heart is breaking for you. I will be praying for peace for you and DH.

[glb30]

fishchicks I am so so sorry for your losses. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

24w1d and had a regular check up today. All is good and no more mfm appts for the foreseeable future so that is good. Feeling pretty good and definitely have a bump going on!

Qotw: no, we had a family wedding to attend out of state. The car ride was hard but was nice to see family.

[turquoisequeen]

fishchicks I am so sorry and my heart is broken for you and your girls

[river]

fishchicks, I am so very sorry for you and your husband. Please take care of yourself. My heart breaks for you.

[setsuna17]

fishchicks I'm thinking of you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[dancerspose]

jennykat thank you so much for offering to take over! I will send you a PM today.

turquoisequeen so glad everything is going well!

. I'm sorry for what must have been a very stressful and scary few minutes, but glad your OB acted quickly. I had a fetal echo too. I wouldn't worry about it. Think of it as another chance to see your baby!

AFM - 26w5d today and doing well. I had my second tri GTT yesterday, fun as always, so I'm just crossing my fingers I passed that. The crazy phlebotomist decided to stick me above my elbow, on the inner part of my arm, and of course it has bruised horribly and hurts. I also got my flu shot yesterday in the other arm so I was a hot mess last night. Next OB appointment is next week.

QOTW - B.uy B.uy B.aby was offering 25% off over the weekend to anyone with a military/Veteran ID so we FINALLY caved and bought a bunch of the big stuff. It feels really weird to have it in my house...

[dukegirlsc]

fishchicks I am so sorry for your loss. There are simply no words, I'm sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.

[callmeKD]

fishchicks - my deepest condolences to you. I am so sorry for your loss.

[trytobearunner34]

I am so very sorry fishchicks.

[doves654]

dancerspose, please remove me from the check in. We unfortunately have to terminate our pregnancy after learning our daughter has a disease that is incompatible with life.

[turquoisequeen]

Oh my goodness doves654 I am so sorry. Sending T&Ps.

[dancerspose]

doves654 I am so incredibly sorry. My heart breaks for you and YH. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

[crazycatlady6]

fishchicks - I am so incredibly sorry for your losses. My prayers are with you and your family.

[rslh10]

doves654 I am so so sorry for the loss of your daughter. Sending you love and light. ((Hugs))

[fishchicks]

Oh doves654, I am so, so sorry. You, your DH and your sweet girl are in my prayers. If it would help to chat with someone who is right there with you, please let me know.
