That and I REFUSE to let my fear rule. I am strong and I will continue to be strong. It will be hard, but I can do it, b/c I know this pregnancy is different. And b/c I know this baby deserves it. I really appreciate all your kind words and sentiments.

Had it been me, I probably wouldn't have gotten one at all just because of the anxiety it would cause me.

I am ...Oh sweetie, such a big (and positive) step. I am sending positive thoughts that you will never have to go through something as harrowing as not finding your baby's heartbeat. I remember the fear I had when I was bleeding so badly and the nurses couldnt locate Alex's heartbeat with the doppler. It was horrifying. When the doctor found him on u/s I was relieved until we saw my placenta had detached and there was nothing we could do to stop labor. But I will never forget that fear. I can only imagine how you felt searching for hours. Many prayers that neither of us will have to endure that fear or pain again.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1888724479748278423.post-71481824302610767132009-06-25T21:25:47.181-04:002009-06-25T21:25:47.181-04:00Maybe you shoul dhave just not gotten one.

I am praying for you to have peace and calmness.Shana Putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358368506091648893noreply@blogger.com
