Please pray for my baby!

I am so happy that everything is okay so far. Please take care of yourself and I will thinking about you.

Oh Anne....we all love you SO much...where would we be without you? We never would have met and become the family that we are. I hope everything goes okay with the baby....I will pray for you. I am worried now. I hope you are okay. I know God is looking out for you!

I am so very sorry to hear about the problems that you are going through. I also know what it is like to have pregnancy complications. My husband and I have been trying for three years. Through those three years we have been through three miscarriages. Don't loose faith. Stay off your feet as much as possible and allow those around you to give you a little extra pampering. You and the baby deserve it. I will put an extra special place in my prayers for you and your family. I know as much as anyone what joy it brings to have the chance to be a mom. After all the problems I will finally be able to experience it again in November. So in a small way I feel like god sent us a miracle. He will do the same for you. Mabye not today, but it will happen for you. Besides you and the baby have to stay well, I need someone to share all the swollen feet and midnight craving stories with. Just remember that you have alot of people who are praying for you and are here even if you just need to scream. That's what friends are for.

I didn't know you were pregnant....... How many months are you!? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up on the posts, but congratulations, and I hope you and the baby will be okay! Please listen to the doctor and lay down!!

I am so sorry to hear about this. I am pregnant now too and I had bleeding with this pregnancy and the one before. I know how you feel. With my last one I started bleeding at 8 weeks this one it started at 16 weeks. This time the doctor had no idea why it happened. Last time the placenta was low and that caused it. I hope things are ok for you. I know it's hard but try not to think about it. Sometimes that makes it worse. Good Luck and I hope everything turns out ok. I am due in September.

Anne:

I hope everything is still ok with you. I am sending more prayers your way.

Hissy:

DES is horrible and causes much more than problems with pregnancy. My younger sister is a DES baby. My mother had several miscarriages after I was born. So my mother took DES with both my sister and brother. My sister has had a multitude of reproductive problems since puberty. As a matter of fact, she will be having a complete hysterectomy in a couple of weeks because of continued laser surgeries to remove abnormal cell growth. She isn't even 40 yet! She was told many years ago that she probably wouldn't ever be able to sustain a pregnancy. There's a special clinic in Houston (where she lives) that deals strictly with DES. She has been going there since the age of 14.

Anne, I'm so sorry.You and your baby will be in my prayers.

This is a little prayer:angel2:


"I wish for you..."

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.

Thank you once again everyone for your kind words and prayers and for those lovely poems!

I have had a good night's sleep so I am more calm today and in a better state to answer any questions

I am just at the beginning of my 6th week - very very early on the way. If all goes right, the due date will be somewhere around the end of January- beginning of February.

No, I am not a DES victim. I have read about it and I understand that the women who were DES children suffer from serious abnormalities in the uterus. Deb - I am sorry to hear that your sister suffers from the affects of this drug! It is so horrible!

Actually, my last pregnancy ended as a missed abortion. That means that my body hung onto the pregnancy even after the embryo died (I had to have a D & C). I had no bleedings last time, so I guess this one is a different story altogether. Still, I am more scared this time because I lost the previous one...

These are going to be long 2 weeks...

Thanks again everyone for your help - this really means so much to me!

Anne and family...
Thoughts and prayers are with you from here too.
Bless you all.

Anne; First of all I want to say that I feel so inadequate for not responding before now. Please forgive me. You know that I am praying for you and the baby continually. (If you remember, I made reference to your having a successful pregnancy in an e-mail I sent to you when we were discussing T-shirts back in the first part of May) I feel like God gave me a word that you were pregnant then and this was bfore you had told any of us. I did not make much of it when you did not respond; because I did not want you to think that I was overstepping the boundaries of privacy. I remind you of this now to be able to say that I still see a bright light surrounding your pregnancy and feel very strongly that all will go well. I will shower you with positive energy and powerful prayers until we know for sure that all is well. . . . .

Darlene

:goodbad: Anne, I'm so glad your feeling better. Just take it easy & rest.When I was pregant the second time I was spotting off & on for weeks. I was crazy with worry. But my doctor also had me rest & rest & rest. With a 6 month old it wan't easy. But the kicker is I ended up having twins. I never did that (spotting) with any of my other pregancies. Hummm, I ended up with 6! Soooo, who knows with you!

God Bless you. Marsha

Anne-
Please keep us updated. I am sending prayers, white light, and kitty kisses your way!!!

Darlene, who knows - seems like you knew about it long before I did

So far so good - no bleedimg these past 2 days. I am taking progeterone pills that are supposed to make the uterus lining stronger and help the pregnancy "stick".

Right now, I'm counting the days till my next ultrasound check on the 20th. Then we'll either see the heartbeat or not...

Thanks again everyone and I will keep you posted if anything unusual happens. With any luck, I'll have nothing to talk about other than the nausea for the next 2 weeks

Oh Anne...I am so anxiously awaiting news from you, that I almost feel as though I were the one pregnant! I am paying for you, and I too, like Darlene, have a feeling this one will make it. I hope so!!!
Keep us posted!!! We love you!! This child will have alot of "aunts" and "uncles"

furry 'aunts and uncles', too......

sorry - couldn't resist!

:chicken: thought of you when I saw this chicken smilie, too......

Anne, I do hope everything is OK with you and the baby! I dodn't even know your were withchild!

Anyway, I have heard stories of women who had periods all the way up until they delivered, and also stories of spotting is not uncommon.

So I will be praying for you, and certainly hope for the best!

Anne - I haven't been to the boards in a few days, so I missed your post. I hope you are doing ok. I just wanted to let you know that I bled in the beginning with both of my pregnancies, and I now have two very beautiful, very healthy children. I've heard it's not uncommon to have spotting and even bleeding around the time of your missed period due to hormone levels. I know how scary this is. I was petrified each time it happened to me. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dawn

Anne, I hope you are doing ok. I have never lost a pregnancy but I can only imagine how devasting it would be. I'm so happy for you being pregnant again. Good luck, get well and get lots of rest, you deserve it.

Thanks for the info Dawn - it's very reassuring to hear! I am still very scared whenever I visit the bathroom.

Kezzer! Great to see you again! How far are you in your pregnancy? Can't remember your due date.

HI Anne! I'm almost there, due Sept, 7th, and it's a boy!
Like Dawn I too have heard of people having their periods, my mom did for the first 6 months she was pregnant with my sister, she didn't even know she was pregnant until she kept getting wicked backaches, my sister was a definate surprise, I was 14 when she was born! And with my first 2 I didn't know I was pregnant until I was almost 8 weeks because I got my period the first month. This one wanted to be known though, I knew when I was 2 weeks!
