Acupuncture

My mom sent me some information regarding acupuncture to restore balance to the body, to correct any type of imbalance NATURALLY, without the use of hormone supplements (which can make you moody, depressed and sick). I did a lot of research on it and figured I'd give it a go. I have my first appointment this Friday. The doctor who will be performing my treatments said between a pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding and two additional pregnancies in a span of 26 months, my body may just need some time to recover, heal and find it's equilibrium. She's had HUGE success with her treatments, so I'm hoping it will not only help me to heal quickly (when/if my miscarriage starts or if I have a d&c) but also help restore balance in my body so I can prepare for a healthy full term pregnancy in the next few months!

I'm also keeping my appointment with the OBGYN this Thursday to see if the sac is collapsing and how or if we are even progressing with the miscarriage (I don't think we're getting anywhere). Of course, we'll have many options to discuss.

I have my appointment with my doctor on Monday to discuss a referral to a fertility doctor. I do plan to at least go to the fertility doctor and discuss my options, but am hoping the acupuncture will be helpful and I won't have to resort to treatment.

I'm open to trying anything I can to help in our journey to another healthy baby. Wish us luck :)

Therapy...

Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

By
We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
