My nipples had been hurting for a week and I just thought maybe it was a symptom of my period coming, but then I realized I never had symptoms of my period coming. That was when I realized, tender nipples is sign of pregnancy. For the next week and a half I took a total of 6 pregnancy tests, all which came out negative. But my instincts told me I was pregnant, so did my mother's. Finally, one night, I had gotten home from the store and got the sudden urge to take a pregnancy test. It was positive. Over the next week, I proceeded to take 4 more tests, all which came out positive. I went to the doctor and they said I was indeed pregnant, about 5 weeks. I was absolutely ecstatic. I had always wanted a child, and I was finally going to be a mother!! I told everyone I knew that I was going to have a child, and even some strangers!! I had gone out and bought clothes, pacifiers, a bottle brush, all sorts of stuff. But in the back of my mind, I knew I should have taken it easy with the buying, and I was paranoid. At 10 weeks, 3 days before my first scheduled ultrasound, I woke up with light bleeding. I was told this was normal, but my instincts said something was wrong. I asked my sister to drive me to the hospital, where they admitted me right away. After having tests done, and an emergancy ultrasound done, the LAST thing I thought it would be was a miscarriage. I thought maybe I was just being paranoid and there was nothing wrong. But I was wrong. The doctor came in and told me that my son had died at 6 weeks, and I had had a missed miscarriage. I opted to go home and let it happen naturally. Over the next 2 and a half days, I was in intense pain and bleeding heavily. Finally, I felt an intense urge to push, so I went into the bathroom and gave my strongest push, and out popped my tiny little child, into my hand. I stared at him in shock, not knowing what to do. I was home alone. So I wrapped him in toilet paper, told him I loved him, and laid him in the toilet, and flushed. I cried so hard that night, I didn't know if I had any tears left. I continued to bleed heavily for the next 2 weeks, and had to be put on medication because of all the blood loss. It's been 8 and a half months since I lost my son, and I still miss him everyday.
Cameron, I love you with all my heart. I know God is taking such good care of you, and that you're looking down on me and protecting me.

Fibroids

Hey, I was wondering if my miscarriage may have been due to the fact that I have multiple seedling uterine fibroids, that I never knew existed until recently. My doctor never said anything when I had the miscarrieage last year. I want to try and conceive again and wanted to make sure that evrything was fine so I had a pelvic exam done.

Is there any one who has multiple seedling uterine fibroids and have brought a baby to term? I was just about 19 weeks.

loss at 5 weeks, exactly

I found out that I was pregnant using an HPT, exactly 28 days into the cycle. I wasn't sure whether I should believe it, as this was my first time. My husband and I kept our fingers crossed. I tested again 36 hours later, and then again after 36 hours more. Beyond doubt, I was pregnant. Initially, we wanted to keep it to ourselves. But this was such a happy occurrence, that we wanted to share it with our nearest family.

Just 3 days into my "known pregnancy", I heard about the death of a young man, a friend's family member. I was very upset for his parents, knowing how devastated I would be if that were to happen to the tiny little life inside me.

Fear began. It just sounded too good to be true that it would be a live and full pregnancy and birth. Exactly at 5 weeks, I tossed around in bed all night, woke up early to see spotting and a negative HPT. Then, bleeding, and it was all gone... even before my first scheduled pregnancy appointment.

This was 2 days ago. I know it isn't her fault, I know I want her pregnancy to be wonderful and I know that I want mother and child tp have a long and fruitful relationship; but right now, I really, truly hate someone I know who has the same LMP... I read that this is normal.

I am still crying for no apparent reason. Something akin to postpartum depression because the hormone levels crashing down? I don't know. If it is chromosomal abnormality that caused the miscarriage, why in the world should imperfect combinations even get fertilized??!! I have no answers. Only questions.

My husband has been nothing but supportive of my erratic ways despite the fact that he is just as devastated by the loss. I cannot help seeing him as the enemy just a tiny bit, however. I told him so.

I was told to wait for at least on normal period, whatever that is supposed to mean, to begin trying to conceive again.

Fingers crossed.

My most Sadness

Hello, I don't know how to describe my so large and long sadness, we was waiting him for 7 beautiful months and suddenly his little heart stopped. No reasons even medical ones are clear at this moment, everything was going well, and with no reason my so beautiful and charm baby had dead, this happened one month ago, nothing makes me feel better, but I am carrying on daily with the help of my husband that is experiencing the same as me with no light shinning for us. I beg our Lord a little of consideration even no explanation to understand.
