Hi all..introduction, questions, fears (misc. mentioned)
Hi all...I am here, once again. I never get to stay here very long, b/c I am
a chronic miscarrier. I have had 4 miscarriages since my daughter was born in 1996. I don't know why, although I do have a guess. I was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in June, with blood sugars well over 400-500. I don't know how long I had been that way, but now that I know, I am on medication (pills, not insulin) that has been bringing the numbers down pretty good. My last miscarriage was last month...didn't even know I was pregnant actually...but I knew when I started my "period" that it wasn't normal and since I've been through it a few times before, I knew that I was miscarrying again. I have never necessarily been TRYING to get pregnant...we were just saying "If it happens, it happens." Well...last month, I knew when I was going to ovulate...and I took advantage of it LOL. I ovulated on the 28 or 29 of August, so last week...I took a test. It was actually one that I had gotten from the Dollar Tree (everything is a dollar lol) and it was negative. That didn't bother me tho, because I just kinda "knew"...like I did with my other two living children. So...I took another test on Sunday morning, after 4 hours of sleep. No line then, but a few hours later, there was a line. Took another test Sunday evening, after being awake, drinking, and peeing all day. No line. Took another test last evening (after drinking and peeing all day again...my HUBBY is the one who wanted me to do this lol..he is a *little* excited!) and no line. But...today, there IS a line on this test. I have looked these tests up and it says that they "don't get evaporation lines." Plus...I KNOW I'm pregnant...I am nauseous (I do NOT get nauseous any other time), my breasts were sore last week, and I am peeing every 1 1/2 hours lol. So...in my mind there is no question. I am very distant from this pregnancy right now tho...only because I am soooo used to them not "sticking" lol. But you know, I WANT this one to stick...and maybe, with the blood sugar numbers down a bit...it might! Anyway, thats it about me..and just as a little side note...we will NOT have to worry about a name this time. I KNOW its a girl (lol I always "know" the sex too!) and I already know what we're naming it. We are in the direct path of Isabel right now...in WV no less! But it is forecast to come right at us..I've never been through this before and I'm kinda scared..but also a little excited! Soooo...her first name is going to be Isabel! And, something that I just figured out today and its very neat to me...From the time I ovulated, if I go forward 9 months (not perfect I know..but c'mon, close enough!) I would be "due" around May 31...the same day that my father died in 2001. I loved him sooo much and miss him every single day. The perfect way to pay tribute to him is if I could have this baby on the day he died (I'm sure it will be a planned Csection..I am prone to placenta abruptia), May 31, and to make her middle name Francis, after him (Frank). Isabel Francis....perfect, isn't it??? Nancy |

Hi all..introduction, questions, fears (misc. mentioned)
Welcome Nancy!
Quite a history you have there. I'll cross my fingers that this one sticks around! I like the naming scheme, now just hope that your gut feeling is right. I know mine definitely wasn't last time around, so I am not going to try anymore. And yes, May 31st is a very nice date, it's my b-day :-D -- -- I mommy to DS (14m) guardian of DH EDD 05-17-2004 War doesn't decide who's right - only who's left |

Hi all..introduction, questions, fears (misc. mentioned)
Thanks Ilse...I'm hoping it sticks around too...you never know about those
gut feelings. I want to get excited....but I'm afraid to. So I'll just wait and see! Thanks again for your welcome. I lurk here all the time, mainly because I love reading the birth stories!

Isabel Francis....perfect, isn't it??? Nancy A lovely name, but you might want to consider Frances for a girl, rather than Francis. (I have a friend named Frances who just goes nuts when people refer to her as Francis. Though for all I know, this is yet another name where what's a girl name and what's a boy name is morphing?) Good luck with your pregnancy. Irene |
