Plus, thanks to all you ladies who mentioned the Valium as part of the transfer protocol, I got my doctor to agree to that so it should be more relaxed this time. Got to be honest, after things started going wrong instead of negative the transfer has been a stressful time because I felt such responsibility for the embryos leaving. But this time is so different! So much hope and less fear for this one. Thanks for the love! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2052080128486949388.post-16450782725054525072013-06-15T15:29:17.304-07:002013-06-15T15:29:17.304-07:00JESS!!!

If something is wrong, you'll know it--so there's no sense in obsessing about possibilities ahead of time. As hard as it is, try to stay in the now and celebrate every minute, hour, day, week that you are in fact expecting! :) It's so hard when this pregnancy is so hard-won, and it's easy for me to say this now when I did all the same things when I was briefly in your shoes. Just remember: YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY CAN (AND MORE!) TO ENSURE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY AND BABY. Trust that this is real and lasting. I'm thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes your way. I hope to join you soon!

I would even go so far as to say that there are no true indicators of miscarraige other than heavy bleeding and severe cramping... but even then, not always. Just like EVERY feeling you've EVER experienced is a sign for pregnancy, EVERY symptom of pregnancy seems to be a symptom of miscarraige. It's enough to drive a woman crazy.<br /><br />In fact, my mom had the exact opposite experience as Em. My brother and I were both born completely healthy after Kate Middleton style sickness for half the pregnancy... but her miscarraige as 20 weeks she never got sick. It's impossible to know and that plain ol' sucks!<br /><br />I think your plan is good!

I have a feeling that is a message I'm going to need to receive in triplicate for it to continue sinking in. :)Lindsey Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656369641031473734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2052080128486949388.post-60731806169111974292013-06-12T19:40:00.332-07:002013-06-12T19:40:00.332-07:00What a well-written and super important post. I wa...What a well-written and super important post. I was right there with you during my pregnancy. I think I called my doctor in a panic...more times than I'd like to admit. The thing is - the information seems helpful, but a lot of the time, it isn't. When I miscarried Ethan at 19 weeks, I didn't have a single symptom of miscarriage. Nothing happened to cause the loss. It just happened without me having a clue. Then with Harriet, I noticed every single little thing about my body for that entire nine month period. I was terrified and many times, I was sure she was lost. But she was fine...perfectly healthy. I hope that my story about Ethan doesn't scare you but rather that it gives you a peace that the scary symptoms you might experience most likely mean nothing at all. One more thing - with Ethan, I was sick. With Harriet, no morning sickness whatsoever. So that whole thing about nausea being a good sign...well, it wasn't for me. Again, it just goes to show that everyone from Aunt Agatha to Mr. Google himself can be full of shit sometimes. Pregnancy is an exercise in letting go...perfect practice for parenting.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069220262683215373noreply@blogger.com
