I wish I could come here and tell you something worth hearing except I have nothing. We traveled to Chicago, waited TWO SOLID + hours to see the doctor and she didn’t know anything without us getting further bloodwork.
We won’t know anything until tomorrow afternoon. I suppose one positive thing is that she did talk to us about what happens if the blood work comes back as this or if it comes back as THAT. (THAT BEING THE BAD THING.) So, we feel prepared and somewhat knowledgeable about the situation. But still lost, very lost.
I do have specifics but I’m not quite comfortable sharing what little we do know on this blog without knowing our final test result. I fear sharing information that may not be quite correct so I’m just going to keep it simple for now. Basically it goes something like this:
Scenario one – (best case) yes, I’ve tested positive for this thing, but it’s still okay and the pregnancy can continue on our normal worry status.
Scenario two – yes, I’ve tested positive for this thing and yes, we need to be alarmed and will be monitored very, very closely throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Prayers would be needed.
It wasn’t a complete loss today, we did get to hear the baby’s heartbeat and it was awesome.
So we continue to wait…prayers and positive thoughts are always encouraged and appreciated and loved and did I say appreciated?
Because we really do appreciate your support so much.
Oh of course you have my prayers. It’s the not knowing that can really drive you insane isn’t it? Just remember to breathe and let whatever is going to happen happen. Much love to you and that cute bean you’ve got growing.
Prayers & positive thoughts are being sent your way! So glad you got to hear Baby’s heartbeat. What a wonderful sound!
I really really hope everything turns out alright. Not sure what it is, but I’m thinking the best of thoughts for you and your sweet baby to be. I will put lots of happiness out into the universe for you, because you deserve nothing but happiness and joy.
whatever happens, i hope you’re surrounded by peace, love and happiness.
hugs
I don’t know what to say except that I’m still praying, still hoping, still believing.
Lots and lots of love to you and this precious little baby who has brought so many to their knees.
xo.
Hang in there and find some peace in knowing so many of us are thinking about you and praying for you.
Sending you cyber hugs…
Praying and hoping for the best possible news tomorrow.
Oh of course you have my prayers! From the crazy lady who bought an at home heartbeat thingy I know how wonderful that sound is! I become a nervous wreck when this little chica is not moving around and hooee that monitor is a miracle! I so hope it is scenario 1 and I totally know the waiting is so hard! Praying for Scenario 1!
Your family is in my prayers, as well!
Prayers for you and little one!
My prayers and good thoughts are with you.
I’m praying for you, your baby and the rest of your family. I’m so sorry today didn’t turn out the way you expected but I know there’s got to be a reason. Sending love your way!
hoping for scenario # 1!!! *hugs*
Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.
Is it weird that you don’t know me, and I don’t know you, but I’ve been thinking about you all day? Hoping and praying for you and your family that this pregnancy will go smoothly for you and in a few short months you will have another sweet baby? I hope not, cuz that’s what’s been going on here with me today.
You’ve been on my mind and heart for much of today. (And will be till your next update.)
Continuing to pray for you and your sweet baby!
Hoping for Scenario 1…….
Prayers and positive thoughts are coming down your way. Just keep holding onto the fluttering in your belly, and know that we have surrounded in love.
I’m praying for you and loving on you from here.
Praying so hard for scenario 1…
I’ve been checking in here today periodically to find out what you found out. Will continue to pray for you guys.
Lots of prayers coming your way; good luck!
Always praying for you and your family, Beth! Much love your way.
Lots of love and prayers to you and your family.
Thoughts have very powerful energies and there are lots of us thinking of you and sending lots of love your way.
Prayers and positive thoughts? You got them.
We thank you for at least coming here and sharing what little you do know. Had to be a rough day for you because I know you desired answers! I certainly hope you get those later today. Of course, Scenario 1 would be ideal, but you would be undeniably “lifted up” in prayer if it ends up being the alternative. No matter what I pray for peace, wisdom, love and life.
I was hoping for nothing but good results. With that said, I am still hoping and praying for the first Scenario 1. I will continue praying for you and your family. Kept you strength, and I will pray for you strength.
Praying for you and your baby; for me and my baby; and very good results for both of us and these precious gifts we’re carrying.
Stay strong. Lots of prayers for you and your family today.
Continued prayers for your little heart beater.
hugs!
Sending my thoughts and prayers your way. I had something scary during my second pregnancy and all turned out fine after many ultrasounds and sleepless nights. My prayers are that all turns out well for you too!
Prayers for you and your sweet little baby.
Keeping you in my prayers… hope for answers soon!
Praying so hard for you and your family! I am not imagine how hard it must be to wait to hear news!
Prayers regardless.
Beth – you are so thoughtful to give us all an update. I’m definitely thinking and praying and wishing for the best. I’m waiting for some test results myself today (for my dad). Not a good feeling.
Know that you are being held up by many hands.
Prayers are needed no matter what the scenario. I believe that even when everything is perfect, prayers are still needed. Does that make sense.
I wish that there were more that I could do for you; but, for today, know that you are in my constant prayers. Praying for the best outcome!
Thanks for sharing what you are comfortable sharing right now, I have been watching for an update since you’ve been on my mind.
Prayers and positive thoughts for sure.
Prayers being sent up!
still praying for you….
I hope you get the answers you need and want today!
Hugs!
Still praying and thinking about ya!! Hang in there! <<<<>>>>>
Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers your way. I really believe everything will be ok.
You are in my prayers.
Prayers have been sent and will continue to be said.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers this afternoon! Good luck!
Prayers and positive thoughts coming your way always. I always remember the prayers but sometimes I forget the positive thoughts. I won’t forget again. And, thankfully you’re in the best of care.
Many prayers!
Hang in there,
Sending lots of love and good energy your way.
