While the baby is doing well, measuring well and a strong heartbeat - I have another subchorionic hematoma that is causing some spotting.



HOORAY for that strong heartbeat!!! ikwym about the subchorionic bleed- so agonizing to pray and wait daily for baby to grow bigger and hematoma to disappear!
Many Many prayers.
love,

Ladies-

One of the new features included in the recent forum update is a 4Real calendar that is visible on the home and forum topics pages. If you are expecting, you can specify your due date in your profile settings, and that date will be highlighted on the calendar for all to see.

As an example, I specified a due date of 4/15 in my profile. If you move your mouse over 4/15 on the current calendar, you will see my username appear.

-Tim

Are you trying to *tell* us something, Tim? Or is tax day your birthday?

Here I go again.... I am 7 weeks, this coming just after a loss at 12 weeks and another at 5 weeks. I am begging for prayers.


Many prayers showering upon you from this direction! I *would have been* involved in a study ~ but I had too many kids and too many miscarriages and would have skewed the results somewhat ~ that involved taking a St. Joe's Children's Aspirin every day until 36 weeks. I thought it was just to thin my blood, but my doctor mentioned something that made me think it might have to do with repelling antibodies that believe that your baby is a foreign body ... ? I'm sorry I'm not more educated on the subject. I must ask him to enlighten me at the next visit. Anyway, since taking St. Joe's, I've had two healthy pregnancies after two miscarriages. It might be worth bringing up with your practitioner. Lots of coming your way.

A dear friend of mine had the same trouble- also cured with baby aspirin after two losses. Hers was a confirmed case of antibodies against the baby causing the losses. Praying for you. Lisa!

I'm thrilled to add my name to the expecting list. My last two pregnancies were very difficult (one loss, one requiring several months of bed rest and hospitalization for me), so prayers are definitely appreciated, and I'll be praying for you all as well.

Thank you, Nancy. Sadly, I began bleeding today.    I'm not totally sure it's a miscarriage, because I did bleed with two of my other babies, but obviously it's not a good sign.

I'm finally NOT here to tell everyone about the updated Maternity Novena & Calendar (although I just did, didn't I? )

But, to say that we're expecting Baby #6 in December! I just changed my sig line....SO EXCITING!

And, Becky Parker just announced that they are expecting #6 also!
