Could you say a little prayer for me......
« on: February 15, 2009, 09:58:01 am »
As most of you know I am pregnant......10 weeks along. I have been on bedrest all weekend long due to bleeding. We think we may have miscarried this morning but won't know for sure until we go to the doctor for an ultrasound on Monday. We saw the little heart beating on our last ultrasound........fearful that we won't tomorrow.
Please say a little prayer.

Angie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I miscarried many years ago, so I can understand the pain and heartbreak of the situation. Hoping that things are ok tomorrow.

Angie, I bled with my son (third child) and all turned out well. My doctor told me if we already heard the heartbeat before 8 weeks the risk of miscarriage was low.

Definitely praying for you and your baby.

Hey Angie

Thinking of you ... I had several weeks of bleeding (bright red) from 10 weeks until 16 weeks with my third child, a subchorionic hematoma - actually very common, and very distressing.  That little sucker is now 3 years old and a fiesty one. 

Hope all goes well tomorrow and the little bugger is just trying his mom's nerves at a very youthful age.

Oh Angie, I am so sorry.  I've had a couple of miscarriages, but also bled with my son, who yesterday turned 21.  I'll say a prayer for you that it turns out well.
Best,

Angie -

I'll say a big prayer for you. 

I had two miscarriages, one before my twins and one after, so I know firsthand how devastating miscarriage can be.

I'm hoping for the best tomorrow, but if it's not good news, please remember that we are here for you.

Must be the 3rd child syndrome because I too bled carrying Anthony.  I was so shocked to find out I was expecting since I had 2 cycles and than break through bleeding.  I went to the Dr because I had heart palpitation and was freaked out over it.  The Dr did blood work and the next day a got a phone call and told my I was having another baby.  After my first prenatal visit I found out was going into my second trimester.  My husband and I were stunned.  Anthony will be 19 next month.

Listen to your Dr Angie and as Nancyann says "Good Thoughts!"

Angie:

I'll be praying for a positive outcome from your ultrasound, tomorrow (Monday).

Oh Angie, I hope it will be okay.  I had 3 miscarriages, so I, too, know how sad it is.  :'(  I guess I'm very lucky to have my one son, but I so wish we could have had one more.  It just didn't work out that way, for some reason.   And since I couldn't afford to go get implanted with 6 embryo's, like some people can, :o I have tried to be content with my one child.  But, then, I certainly couldn't have managed 8 babies!  Good grief.  ::)

You're in my thoughts,

Angie~
I am so sorry and know all the thoughts that are running through your head right now having to wait until tomorrow's results.  I was pregnant 7 times and only have 3 children (& am VERY thankful for the ones I have).  At my Dr.'s, they asked you how many pregnancies you have had - when I started bleeding in the middle of the night with Emee, that was the thing that I told Dave I could not do - I couldn't say 8...that was a low point for us.  We did make it through the night and I stayed on bedrest for a couple of weeks and wa-la, Emee is now a vivacious 7 year old! (And I had Kendie right after that & didn't miscarry again!)

You are in my prayers!

Oy.. I'll say a little for you also.  As one who's been through a miscarriage from the male perspective, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  Stay positive until you know for sure there's something to worry about.
