I am 6 months pregnant and just found out that I have a medical problem that is very serious for my unborn baby. The baby basically has a 50% chance of serious physical and mental problems or death. We will not know for sure until several months after the birth. I am absolutely terrified and have been crying nonstop for the last 4 days. I was enjoying pregnancy so much and now I feel numb towards my baby, afraid to get too attached. When I look at our half-completed nursery I feel like I am going to throw up.
Fortunately my husband has been amazing through this and I am thankful to have such a strong marriage. Other than that, we have no family to support us during this time.
If you are religious, please pray for us. We need a miracle.
I'm so sorry - what a difficult situation! I think you need to focus on the positive and remember that there is still a great chance you will have a wonderful, healthy baby. Take comfort in your husband. You can work through this together. Wishing you the best - my thoughts are with you :)
I'm going to send you all the good thoughts and prayers I've got. I really, REALLY hope that you're all on the good side of 50%.
Oh, dear. I'm sorry--I hope everything works out for you! I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I am so sorry. I can't imagine how devastating that news must be. I will hope for the best, and keep you, your husband, and your baby in my thoughts.
All of my positive energy, thoughts, and prayers are being sent to you! When you feel that numbness remember this: the most healthy, beautiful children are born out of love. God gave you this child for a reason so you must remember that you are the best person to care for him or her. If you keep your spirits up and believe that your love and positivity can get you through this than everything will be okay. Keep happy in the remainder of your pregnancy and know that your happiness and joy for your child can and will prevail through this difficult time.
I sent up some prayers for your baby and for peace and calmness for you and your husbad. You can get through this!
Okay, I will tell you as someone who has lost their baby that no matter what happens, you can make it through this. It's hard, but you can.I know how you feel as we're trying again and I have to go through it not knowing if I will carry my baby to term or lose in the third trimester like I did before. It's stressfull and scary, but you have to remain as calm as possible for yourself and your baby. You need to talk to someone who is a professional NOW because that's going to help you. For support, I highly recommend http://www.dailystrength.org/ There are many women there who are in similar situations who are more tahn willing to support you. This is scary and hard and no one is going to understand truly. I can honestly say that there are more people out there who have gone through something similar than you'd imagine.
You have not lost your baby yet and that's wonderful. Stay as positive as you can and, again, as someone who lost her baby at 34 weeks and 2 days, I know no matter what you can make it through this. It'll be the hardest thing you've ever done, but you can.
I truly hope you can make it through youir pregnancy and the following months with a healthy baby. If you need to talk, I'm here.
I will pray for you and your family during this testing time. Have faith though - we are praying for you!
Oh I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard situation with your pregnancy. But the baby is hanging on. So keep positive. I was born 3 months premature, many many years ago. So miracles do happen. I am praying for a miracle for you. Best Wishes.
I am so sorry to hear that. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have a friend going through something similar and I see on a firsthand basis how difficult and stressful it is to go through a time like this. Do your best to stay positive and take one day at a time.
Wishing you peace and comfort during this trying time.
My husband and I recently went through something very similar when we found out that our son has cystic fibrosis. It was devastating news. I hate to hear that anyone else is going through a situation like what we went through.
You will make it through and I promise you your love for that child will be so overwhelming that you will do anything to take care of them. I too was scared to plan things or think of his future but your instincts will kick in and you will find ways to fight and overcome whatever your child has.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping for the best for your family.
oh no! I'm so sorry :( Sending good thoughts your way. I can't even imagine. Stay strong! Your little one needs your strength now more than ever.
@snmcdowell: Oh my gosh, I am so so so very sorry. My thoughts & prayers go out to you and your husband. I am so glad he has been there for you through this rough time for the both of you. Hopefully with the prayers you two & your baby can make it through this hard time.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. What is the medical condition? Maybe another bee has had the same experience and can help you.
You and your family are now in my prayers, and I wish you comfort in this stressful time.
I found out at my 20 week ultrasound that my daughter had a serious kidney and bladder issue. They decided to take her 5 weeks early in order to start treating the condition. I remember the fear and confusion I felt then and throughout the remainder of my pregnancy, so I know what you're going through. God Bless your little one.
@snmcdowell: Sweetie, if there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I'm great at research and translating medical terminology into lay terms if needed.
PM me any time... Seriously!
Thinking about you and praying hard! So terribly sorry you are going through this. Sending lots of good energy your way.
I'm so, so sorry to hear that. :(
Stay strong and continue to lean on your husband for support. You two will get through all this together!!! Continue to take care of yourself and I've got my fingers crossed for you!!
I'll be praying for you and your family, snmcdowell. Definitely keep us updated on any new developments.
Oh, I am so, so sorry. As someone who is a couple years out from even trying I can't even imagine what you're going through. I'll be sending you lots of good thoughts and know that everything will work out as it should.
Oh my goodness...I am so sorry! You and your husband will absolutely stay in my thoughts and prayers. I can't even imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you're going through, but feel free to rant and scream all you want on here. We're all here to listen and offer encouragement.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I will keep you and your family in my thoughs and prayers. I know this is a very difficult time, but I've always believed God puts no more on you than you can bear.
Snmcdowell, I'm so sorry. This is the worst. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and sending best wishes for a healthy baby. You have been so helpful to all the bees here and you deserve every happiness. I hope you and your husband hear some good news soon. I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry. Sending you the warmest thoughts, energy, and peace during this time.
I'm so sorry, sending prayers for the three of you.
I know you've got some serious thinking to do but just try and take some mental breaks from everything and also try and get some sleep. I'm so sorry you're going through this, many thoughts and prayers your way.
Oh sweetie, I am praying for you. What a totally hard thing to go through!
This is one of my biggest fears. Hang in there sweety, Hugs and Best Wishes to you!
Praying with you, for your health, your baby and for your family. God can take care of all of you in so many ways. (♥)
I hope that everything turns out well for you and your baby. We are here if you need us!
I'm so sorry!! Prayers being said for your family :) Miracles do happen!
Hopefully this story will be an encouragement.... http://clemsongirlandthecoach.blogspot.com/2010/09/hardest-day.html
I am so so sorry. I am going to say a prayer for your baby and you and your husband right now.
I am so sorry. I will keep you and your baby in mind when I say the Hail Mary and the Prayers of the Faithful.
Remember that miracles do happen. Just keep that belief in your heart, and know that a lot of people out here are praying and hoping on your behalf.
