Good grief. I would not be surprised if they closed my account altogether. Please send me a personal e-mail address just in case!

    • Close Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility

      My 1st pregnancy ended 12/2/07 @20 weeks. We are pregnant again and are due in late Jan 09. This will be an interesting journey since we are considered high-risk. We are so happy and scared at the same time, but are trying hard to relax and take it easy.

    • Close Stillbirth

      We lost our son at 20.5 weeks in early Dec. of this year. We still do not know exactly what caused it, but have been given several hypothesis by our Dr.s one of them being an incompetent cervex. We hope to TTC and have a healthy pregnancy in 08.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Worked to lesson anxiety during the first month or two after our loss. I used it very sparingly, and it was easy to stop using it.
      Ambien Working / Worked
      Helped me sleep during the first month after our loss. Knocked me out within 15 minutes of taking it every time. I always woke up midway through the night and had to take another. The next day, I always felt like an emotional wreck (it made whatever I was feeling feel 10x worse). I hated this stuff and am glad to not have to use it.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Love it. It takes all of my negative energy and channels it into making me and my body feel better. Wish I could do nothing but work out, but I'm unfortunately on a busy schedule, and can only get 2-3 workouts in a week now.
    • Open Pregnancy

      I am currently pregnant with my second child. We lost our first born, Rex, at 20 weeks due to PROM. We look forward to having a happy healthy baby in Jan of 09.

    • Open Family Issues

      I am a 32 year old American Born Chinese woman with parents who were not raised in the American culture, but who have lived here for over 30 years. I have issues dealing with them sometimes since they do things that I find unacceptable such as endlessly telling me what to do and giving me tons of unwanted old Chinese wivestales type of advice (as this is acceptable in the Chinese culture). They are also endlessly negative people. I am living in the book, The Joy Luck Club.

    • Open Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1)

      I am a proud mother of two children. My first, Rex, was stillborn December 2, 2007. My second, Maya, was born healthy and beautiful on January 21, 2009. I enjoy and cherish every moment of motherhood I have on this earth.

      Treatments

      Breast Feeding Working / Worked
      Still going... I hope to continue until 6 months of age with Maya.
      Patience Working / Worked
      Taking deep breaths and asking for help when I need it has helped me keep my sanity (what little I have left) so far.
      Research Working / Worked
      Lots of reading and communication with doctors helps me keep my peace of mind.
