Premie Mom @ 34 Weeks

Hi guys! Premie mom here! I just wanted to say hi and ask a question. Anyone else get bad mom guilt, like they failed or could’ve done something to prevent an early arrival? I had severe preeclampsia with my son which caused us to have an emergency c-section, so I logically know I couldn’t have prevented it but it still hurts some days. Anyone else feel like that?

I had a c section in November because of preeclampsia with severe features! I had my daughter at 34+2. I know exactly how you’re feeling!! ♥️♥️ Message me if you need to! ♥️♥️ The NICU can feel like a very lonely place, even surrounded by so many people.

Yes! I had a 34 weeker as well and this is my first. I had her in October due to severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. I get it and understand. If you need to talk let me know! The NICU can be tough.

Yes I do sometimes. I had an emergency c-section at 35 weeks and 4 days due to placental abruption

Yes, I still do any my baby is 5 months. It’s unknown what caused his early arrival but I did have BV so I’m sure that caused it, or I was working too much. But thankfully he is healthy. Your baby is adorable

I can understand. I didn’t have preeclampsia but I did deliver at 33 weeks for unknown reasons, which makes my guilt even worse sometimes because I have no idea what I did wrong. I think it may have been stress. I have anxiety and the last 2 months of my pregnancy we’re VERY stressful. I don’t know. I just know the guilt. I also know that it’ll end. My baby is 4 months old today and he was born on Christmas. He will be fine, he is Beautiful!!!!!!

Oh yes. I had a c section just a week ago due to severe pre eclampsia and my baby girl was born @ 32+1. The mom guilt is pretty bad. When I saw her for the second time 24 hours after my surgery I started balling my eyes out. I could not stop crying. I felt like I failed her completely and felt so bad I couldn’t “finish the job”. I still feel it though it’s gotten a little better.

To announce to not announce on social media??!

So I’ve had two miscarriages prior to this pregnancy… I didn’t announce my first pregnancy because I lost it right away I only caught the pregnancy because I felt off but had I not taken test I would not have even known, second pregnancy I announced at 8 weeks and lost it at 9 weeks almost 10, now with this pregnancy it’s the furthest I’ve been I’m now 3 months and a half (14w1d) and I have done my NIPT test all is well thank God! I really wanna announce my pregnancy with my baby girl, but I’m scared and traumatized because of my previous miscarriages. I want to share this joy but some part of me has fear about it… any advice???!

Baby #2

So me and by bf were trying for baby #2. My last menstrual period started April 19th, I got a positive pregnancy test on May 13/14. But when I went in for a self pay transvaginal ultrasound on June 4th, my gestational sac was only measuring 4w 6d. Has this happened to anyone before?

Says boy but …

So it says a boy. But I feel like it just looks so big and not like other boy scans?

Could the umbilical cord is mistaken for a penis?

I just have a gut feeling? Any thoughts ?

Wee or is it my waters/leaking

So I keep feeling an urge to wee but just now when I went, it felt as if it came from my vagina, actual hole, rather than a wee…it does not smell of wee at all and it’s clear when I wipe and the toilet water..

Am I loosing my mind or?🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

5 weeks 6 days pregnant is this normal

Today after I went pee I wiped and had a tiny bit of blood it was light pink/red. Just want to know if anyone else has experienced this and if they still had a healthy pregnancy… might just be scaring myself I haven’t had my first appointment yet not until Monday
