No longer a mommy-2-be... now what?

Hello,

Brief overview: On the 16-week mark, my water broke. In a nutshelll, we lost our baby boy as a result of fetal complications. I gave birth, and had a D&C (sorry if TMI). This was almost 2 weeks ago... and I'm a little better to talk about it... but now what!?

I would like to jump back on that horse eventually, but don't know how/where to start... what to wait for... what to expect?

I guess what I'm asking is, what should I start doing as of now (before TTC)? We will most likely wait until after AF is regularized to try, but believe that I should be pumping my system with vitamin after vitamin, or following some sort of regimen. I want to prep my body for a healthy baby this time.

Any suggestions?

Wow, I'm so incredibly sorry. I don't know what to say or what advice to give you. I'm sorry for your loss.

OMG...I am so sorry I dont even know what to say You are in my thoughts and prayers

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you are dealing with this.

I think it's smart for you to be cautious and wait until AF returns to normal. I don't think it can hurt to continue Prenatals, just so you are ready with lots of Folic Acid when the time comes again.

Best of luck with your new journey. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

I'm so sorry, I saw your post the other day adnd I was wondering how you were doing.

I would definitely speak to the doctor. From your original post, it didn't seem like you did anything to cause your water to break, so I would imagine you should continue to do everything that you did before your first pregnancy. Did you have any problems conceiving the first time?

Best of luck

I don't know what to say either except I'm so sorry that this happened to you

Thanks ladies for showing support.

usuk2004, the docs did say that we had nothing to do with the loss, and that we should wait two AF before TTC. They also said that I should continue to take prenatal vitamins, or at least folic acid vitamins, to prep my body more than before.

Though we had no problem TTC, I think that it turned out badly the 1st time, because we weren't properly prepped with Folic Acid.

I don't even think I have words that can express how sorry I am for you.
I think right now you just need to give yourself time to heal physically and emotionally.
You and your DH will be in my prayers.

I have no words of advice -- but I just wanted to let you know that you (and your husband) have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I read about what happened a couple weeks ago



Good Luck and lots of BD to you when you officially start TTC again

i am so sorry that you have to go through this...i have been thinking about you....my prayers and thoughts are with you....

I'm so sorry!!!

oh wow...i'm so sorry!!!

I am soo sorry!!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers

I think your body needs to heal...I am SO sorry for your loss. You need to grieve and mourn and share your tragedy with someone. Talking helps so much.

I went right back to taking the multivitamins with 400 McG of folic acid and drinking lots of water....been drinking too much caffeine lately...have to stop.

again, I am sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.....

OMG -- I am SOOO sorry!!! I didn't know this happened!! Where was I!

You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!
