I don;t know how far along you are, but if you are feeling fetal movement, tsthat is a reassuring sign to you every day.Just my opinion, but you will go crazy if you purchase a doppler. There are lots of sounds the doppler picks up in the uterus and you may not be sure what u are hearing. Did the dr mention where your placenta was? It may be close to the cervix and that could be causing some bleeding. Bedrest and keeping pressure off your cervix is a good thing. I have heard of vanishing twin syndrome, and that certainly is a possibility, you will know more when the pathology report comes back, which should be this week for sure. Take care and I am here to support you and provide any information that may help you understand what is happening, thus either put you are east or make you worry more. Is scary not being in control I know. Hope to hear from you soon if you want to email me. My sincerest prayers and good wishes to you,<br />Julie W.<br />scrapperrn@gmail.comJulie's jotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002184488958457832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677676602868899390.post-43908493682217973982011-08-07T07:53:51.006-07:002011-08-07T07:53:51.006-07:00Marion, You and your family are in my prayers.Marion, You and your family are in my prayers.Cheryl Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362243090387437696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677676602868899390.post-81013449721297924492011-08-04T21:15:31.815-07:002011-08-04T21:15:31.815-07:00Marion, You are a beautiful soul so continue to em...Marion, You are a beautiful soul so continue to embrace your baby with your inner light and we will embrace you with ours, sending you our love and encouragement each day.

You are a strong very inspirational woman...and with alot of courage sharing sadly what is still a taboo subject and not often expressed. Thank you. What a terrible ordeal for you and your hubby and children. I had a similiar experience and ended up with antenatal depression. I was at the doctors every week requesting an ultrasound because I just kept feeling like my little one had passed. Negativity was a result of some early complications that were resolved. Just for the pregnancy I was put on low dose Anti depressants so It did not develop into PND again and I wasnt putting extra stress on my little man. I also ordered a dopler in the end just to put my mind at ease and help me rest at night. Id check every day and it realy gave me the peace of mind to keep going and it stopped me putting my little bub through extra stress he did not need whilst growing. If you can get one....I think its a great idea. Its nine months of worry, and surges of panic and adrenalin you and bubby dont need. After the initial early complications.....bubby thrived, he was born perfectly healthy and is now 15mths old and a battering ram to his two older siblings. Im sure your little fighter will do the same.... and if not kicking as much may be see it as a sign that he/she might be a little placid bub like mine has ended up been. All the best and I look forward to reading updates on bubby's and your progress. Remember to write down all of your thoughts right in this moment. :-) Sorry for the novel :-)Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842265808715954224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677676602868899390.post-70661082790930712022011-08-03T16:41:00.744-07:002011-08-03T16:41:00.744-07:00I think about you and your baby often and always s...I think about you and your baby often and always say a little prayer when I do.

As a mother of three (one in heaven) all I can say is that sometimes God's presence is felt greatest in our lives when we are most vulnerable and alone. I believe in the God of David, and in my anguish have learned from the Psalms that even when our enemies want us to fear, God doesn't let go. I appreciate your openness in sharing something so personal, because it's better to live in truth, and can honestly say that I wouldn't possibly be able to relate to you had I not lost a child of my own. My prayer for you is that God allows this child to be with you in life, and that you may feel the peace that surpasses all understanding through this time. God Bless you and your family-RaquelRaquel SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898396684742564932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677676602868899390.post-46534457748613306672011-07-31T18:29:39.836-07:002011-07-31T18:29:39.836-07:00OH Marion reading your posts I can't but feel ...OH Marion reading your posts I can't but feel your pain..but never give up hope. When I was pregnant with my first daughter my ex kicked me almost through a window, I was 8 month preg, nothing went wrong with that pregnancy and I was ok, but when I got pg the second time the doc told me because of the trauma of the blow and having a prior baby that I might not carry my second daughter. I prayed so hard and never gave hope and now she will be 20 in Oct! Im praying for you girl...Keep your head up.<br />xoxo<br />ElsaJustaFewDesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665406118243287777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1677676602868899390.post-81689979003571554272011-07-31T11:56:30.884-07:002011-07-31T11:56:30.884-07:00Marion, glad you are resting.

Stay in bed and let everything else be less important right now. I am pregnant again, 18 weeks and of course very, very scared. I do not know if you believe in God or not. One thing that helped me a lot was: God will never let anything happen to you that you cannot deal with.

Bed rest is the hardest thing you will have to do at this time, but also you need to do what you love as well. Try making a journal for yourself about this pregnancy, tell your story what has already happened, add photos, Dr. visits, your thoughts and prayers in there so you have an outlet. I would not go online to read other people's stories. You need to change your mind set, to be positive and to know that their is only one in control of all things created. You might want to add to your journal how the kids responded to you on that day, what they did that brought you a smile and all the amazing things your husband has done for you and maybe collage the inspirational words your readers have written to you. Whatever you decide to do...do something that you can do in bed yet it will fulfill your heart and passion (the creative side of you.) Another thing to keep in mind is that LAUGHTER IS truly the best medicine. So put on your favorite comedy movie and relax with your family and enjoy the snuggle time and laugh together. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
