It *is* really a challenging place to be after losing a baby. Know that your feelings and emotions are normal. Kyle reminded me of the first one every single day (both of my children still do). I remember feeling all mixed up - happy, sad, scared, overhwlemed, guilty. It can be so confusing. I had a...

I wanted to pop in and share our news: Josephine Katherine was born on November 17, 2011 @ 6:07pm. She weighed 6lbs3oz and measured 18.5" at 39 weeks exactly. I was induced again - just to be on the safe side. This pregnancy was again PE FREE - wahoo!!!! No elevated BPs or protein - just healthy and...

I like the one thing a week deal. I actually did that in preg #2. I bought one baby item each week baby was alive - starting pretty early on in preg #2. At first it was my secret stash of baby items tht I kept hidden in a closet - b/c I felt a little crazy for doing it - but I finally confessed to m...

In both preg #2 and #3 I had anterior-facing placentas. That's what you have, right? Both of those pregnancies were healthy/normal w/ good placentas. The only thing was not feeling the babies move as early b/c placenta is inbetween baby and belly wall and that was frustrating for me in preg # b/c I ...

Very glad everything worked out for you and baby! And what a great weight @ 35w! Be well.

PS Luna is such a pretty name - it was on my girl name list.

All of my docs told me that it was normal given my circumstances of Preg#1 and thankfully they all gave me really good care. My doc still looks for it and is very attentive in case it creep...

How many weeks are you? 31? 32? who's counting!? :lol: Boy or Girl? Girl briefly tell us your history with PE/PIH/HELLP: Preg#1: Early onset severe PE, stillbirth Preg#2: good pregnancy, emotionally very challenging - amazing Kyle was born 10.29.09 via scheduled induction @ 39week, healthy and PE fr...

Hi. I’m trying to think about how I felt or where I was in my grief at 3 mos. I was heading back to work (teacher) 3 mos out from FB’s death and a lot of it is a blur to me. I can hardly remember much except that there would be a flood of people all of a sudden (after spending a lot of time alon...

Vent all you want. The guy in the training session was gross. Just plain gross. I like your tattoo. I'd love to see a pic soemtime. I've been thinking about getting another tattoo (I've had one since I was 19) for FB but I'm not sure where and what. I was actually thinking about contacting my tattoo...

I want to delete this post but don't see where so I deleted my text. Uh oh, help please? My post was just too ranty for my own good.
