:(
hello, I just found out last month that I
am pregnant, as of this week I am now 9
weeks. The thing is that when I had my
first scan done the doctor said that my
yolk sac wasn't forming properly and he
feared that I had already miscarried the
baby, also the scan was saying that I shud
have been about 7 weeks along and he was
hearing no heartbeat, yet from the dates I
gave him when I had my last period I wud
only have been about 5 weeks along. He
told me to come back in two weeks and he
wud do another scan. When I had the other
scan in two weeks we actually saw a fetus
and the heart was beating, but he also
picked up something else attached to the
baby and ruled out fibroids and cyst. He
said that it cud have been one of a twin
which died.
Has anyone out there ever experienced
anything like that?
My thing is that if it really is one of a
twin that has died, how will it affect the
living fetus? And will I eventually lose
that baby too?
I am so worried. I had two miscarriages
last year, one of which was a twin in
december.
Really looking forward to hearing from all
you mom's out there. :cry:

Hi mommie,
though I haven't had the "same" situation
happen to me...I did lose one twin when I
was preg with my 1st child...The reason it
wasnt' the same is they did not see
anything attached to him. But my son was
born fine...No complications, perfectly
normal...My only advise to you is to try
your hardest not to stress because that
will put stress on your baby...I will keep
you and your baby in my prayers!! Keep us
up dated...

Thanks so very much. I go back to my
ob/gyn on the 12th, so I will definately
let you know what is going on, although I
am having the worse 'morning' sickness and
really bad indigestion. Do you know what
I can take to releave that? I am so
uncomfortable, especially at night and I
go to the bathroom so often, I never feel
as though I am getting a good night's
rest. Gotten to the point where my fiance
doesn't even sleep by me anymore becuz
once I get out of bed he wakes up and
can't get back to sleep and he has a
really hectic job so he is so tired the
next day.
Anyway, I have tried salten crackers and
my doctor gave me gravol, but that doesn't
really seem to work and I hate to throw
up, always leave sme feeling so tired, raw
and weak. It is not a great experience at
all. Not that I am knocking being
pregnant, lord knows I am so happy for
this pregnancy, just that some of the
symptoms seem to be taking a toll on my
body.
Anyadvice wud be appreciated at this
point.

Sweety,
i dont have much advise for the morning
sickness other than what you already
tried...Ooohhh try extra polar ice gum!!
That's one thing that always help me when
my stomach feels queezy!!! :wink: it's
worth a try! I know how terrible you're
feeling...Look on the bright side...It
should only last around a month or so!!
As far as your man goes...I can understand
him...But, he is a part of this and he
needs to be 100% by your side with all
your symptoms!! Once that precious baby
is here all will be behind you and you
will both realize that all this is
completely worth it!!
Good luck!! And keep me posted!!

Mood Swings Posted: 10-06-05 08:48am
Thanks so very much once again. I find
that once I eat plenty times a day but
smaller amounts that it's not so bad. But
I seem to have more 'night' sickness than
'morning' sickness. I wonder why it's
called that :) really strange. And tony
has really come around, I think one night
of seeing me throw up and he hasn't left
my side. I guess now he sees how horrible
it is for me he always wants to be there
now to do for me, so that in itself has
really started to make me feel good about
myself. But I tell you, sometimes I have
some of the worse mood swings and I can
never tell which end is up. I mean I had
my daughter 11 years ago when I was 27 but
to be honest I can't remember being this
moody or so emotional. Somedays it just
seems to take a toll on my body where I
don't want to talk to anyone, and even
poor tony seems to get my wrath. The only
one who doesn't is my daughter, and she is
such a helpful soul. Even my poor mother
stays out of way at times, and then there
are other days when I am the happiest
person in the world and fun to be with.
My brother calls me 'the incredible hulk',
makes fun of me. I don't mind just that
sometimes these moods just seem to take me
over just like that. I turn my phone off
and I don't take calls from anyonebecuz I
just want to be left alone and sometimes I
don't think that my friends always
understand, especially the ones who have
never had kids, those are the ones who
really piss me off, they seem to think
that I am being anti-social and plain
unmannerly. But I try to explain to them
that it's not that at all. I had one that
sent me a really nasty email becuz she
keeps calling and getting my answering
machine. But to be honest apart from the
mood swings some days after a night of
throwing up I am really just not up to
being social and I just don't answer my
phone. I have tried to explain that to
her but sometimes she gets really upset at
me nonetheless {sigh} pregnancy really
does take its tool on you mentally &
physically.
