I figure this is the best place to post.
I lost Joseph in May at 23wks and now were currently pregnant again. Its been a long hard road, and we've made it to 22wks. It seems like the closer it gets to 23wks the more stressed out I feel. I had to have an emergancy cerclage placed at 18wks due to my cervix shortening and funneling. I have an u/s tomorrow and then a doctors appt and another doctors appt when I turn 23wks next tues. I just feel like I need someone who understands. Thanks ladies. God bless

I will pray for you and the baby. Try to stay positive, and everything will probably turn out just fine! I'm currently 14 weeks, and my losses were at 19 and 33 weeks. Those will be milestones for me too.

I am hoping everything turns out fine and you have a healthy baby. I am here if you need to vent. I know you have probably heard it a million times, but try to relax- I know, it is easier said than done.

You're in my thoughts... I hope all goes well. I know it must be so stressful for you. I agree with LiamMommy... try to stay positive and relax. Hugs.

I know its stressful. I was on bedrest with Jett at 19 weeks and I just wanted him to stay put. I had no idea it would end in stillbirth at 26 weeks. I also had shortening and funneling, neither of which caused his untimely death. I bet your baby will stay put like (he's) supposed to. Its just the waiting and lying there, not being able to distract yourself very much. But enjoy the time with the baby, just mommy and baby time. I am praying for you.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
