Thank you all for answering my last question about how many losses or m/c's you've had.

Now I'm wondering "What keeps you going?"


I need help here. I don't know what to think about this pregnancy. I'm measuring a week behind and it's just upsetting. When I m/c'd last year I was measuring 2 weeks behind and with the girls I was right on time. I just can't help but to keep thinking that since I'm behind again that something is wrong. I know my date for O and got a faint BFP at 8DPO and I just can't figure out why I'm behind. I just don't know if I can take another loss and then to start all over again. It's just so frustrating.

So, basically, I need some inspiration here, as I'm sure there are some other ladies who could use some too.

Thanks girls!!

I hope there is nothing wrong with your baby. I am sorry you are going through this stress.

I NEED to have a baby, being pregnant and having a healthy baby is the only thing that can make me happy. I guess that is what keeps me going.

I know many of the ladies here have seen me post this before but what really keeps me going is something that a young girl said to me when I had my first m/c. She told me that there must have been something wrong with the baby and that god has taken it back to fix it and will give it back to me. Im not very religious but I am spiritual and that just makes sense to me. It brings me hope and faith that things will turn out as planned.
Plus the thought of holding a sweet little one, together with my sweetheart (our first together) makes the thought of giving up impossible for me.

So far we haven't found anything that says we can't have a baby with a little help. Until then (or until we're told we need A LOT of help), I just have to keep going. I want a baby too badly not to.

What keeps me going is the fact that I will NOT let the m/c win. In other words my last baby will be a healthy, alive baby that I will deliver and will complete our family.

This keeps me going and I remind myself of it daily.

Tobi - you're explanation makes sense. I'm not religious either but somehow that comforts me. Thank you.

^ this. I feel the same way. I can't stand the thought of my last pregnancy being this loss.

Good luck sweetie! I hope everything turns out just fine for you and the baby.
