My mom had GD with my sister and she was born big too. Well I wish both of you the best of luck.

Thanks, and you're going to have yourself a healthy baby. I just feel it!

Congratulations!! Prayers for a safe and successful pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage also. But I went on to have four beautiful children.

I went to my first appt today. Im only about 5 weeks along. But they told me they think my miscarriage at 5 months pregnant in May was due to "placental abruption" and that I have a 30% chance of it happening again! (This is where the placenta detaches from the uterus and causes labor. There is no known cause or prevention.)

Im sooo depressed right now. Im being scheduled soon with a specialist who is one of the best in the state and who will work with my high risk OB to get me the care and attention I need. There will be a lot of tests, monitoring, sonograms. Oh, and they recommend I dont work, which I was just cut from my job anyway. Because theres a good chance I could spend a good portion of the pregnancy on bedrest. Dealing with this is going to take a tremendous amount of strength on my part.


Im just sitting here crying. So I have to go the next 6-7 months without knowing if I will get to keep my baby or not.

Well I have an appointment with my high risk obstetrician on thursday. I will update again later.

Awww bless your heart. Everything will be alright and everything will work out... you just have to keep your head up and keep faith. I will keep you in my prayers that everything goes wonderful for you. You can do this!

Please don't worry! Think positive. The stress isn't good for the baby. Think of it as a vacation. Get prepared now for when you have to be on bed rest. Lots of movies, magazines, books, etc. If you know how to knit or crochet you can even make some things for the baby.

We will all be praying for you and the baby. Everything will be fine.

[Redrose]

Being positive is a wonderful way to look at it! the time of not working is lovely to spend on getting ready and dreaming of your new baby which is such a blessing! How many of us Mothers were so busy that that extra time to think and prepare for our babies would have been so wonderful. Prayers are being asked for your precious baby, rely on the Lord to answer them, let the peace that is beyond understanding be with you that is from the Lord.

Congratulations on your exciting news! Please try not to worry-I know that's easier said than done. I am sending you all my best for a happy healthy pregnancy.

I too am expecting my first child-a boy-any day now

Listen here lady! ( Hang on, I'm gonna get tough with you! ) You have to stay positive for this baby. As humans, our first instinct in this situation would be to keep ourselves guarded. However, not allowing yourself to bond with that baby inside of you out of fear of losing him/her is not good for you or the baby. I fully understand how you are feeling at this moment. My 4th child, my oldest daughter, has a condition called complete congenital heart block. I found this out at my 21 week ultrasound when her heart was only beating at 55 beats per minute (should be 135-170). EVERYTHING online about it gave a lot of grave outcomes. In fact, many doctors will give mothers the option of abortion (don't get me started...stupid stupid) when they find out. My doc knew better. Anyway, I went through the rest of my pregnancy with weekly ultrasounds (70 mile round trip) and waking up about 10 times nightly just to wake up the baby inside of me and feel her move. My friends and family kept showering me in girl clothes, since we had 3 boys, and at first, I hated it. I kept thinking that I would hate to come home from the hospital, no baby, and have to see this beautiful room and pink clothes. I prayed and prayed about it, and just developed a peace about it and let myself bond with and love that baby inside of me. She is 6 now and doing great. She has yearly cardio appts and holter monitoring yearly, but is healthy! They say by 30 she will need a pacemaker...we will see. I have had 2 girls since then, that had about a 6-12% chance of having the same thing. So I had bi-weekly ultra sounds with them and they are fine. If I would have let myself succumb to the depression I felt when I first found out about my little princess, I would have never had the bond that I do with her now, because I would have kept myself withdrawn for so long.
Please remain optimistic. You are going to be under great care, and I am sure if there is one single sign of trouble, they will be able to catch it before anything can progress.
Take care and give lots of updates!

Congrats and stay positive. My cousin had placental abruption with her first and went on bed rest with her second and all was well. I am happy for you and your husband.

So much heartbreak last time, I dont want to put them through that again.
Well, Im trying to stay positive! (pun intended ) So stick little bean, stick!!

Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I experianced the same thing about a month ago. I hope everything works out for you this time!
