Pregnancy After Miscarriage (Part 4)
We had our ultra sound during week 15 of my pregnancy and found out our baby is a boy! There were many tears and much excitement. My son is super excited to have a brother and someone to share his room with!

The emotion that comes with seeing your baby, hearing the heart beat is amazing! Seeing him was comforting and though is was just an ultrasound to find out what gender the baby was, there were no concerns and he looked perfect. This put my heart at ease. 

This comfort and ease did not last like I had hoped. It is frustrating how quickly fear can sneak in and cause concern and worry if you do not keep your guard up and pray over yourself. 

I realized in the week following that with my nausea subsiding and exhaustion letting up, that I felt less pregnant and that it made me start to worry again.

I also started to realize that I had these dates in my head that I wanted to reach. I had subconsciously, and having been through pregnancy before, noted what dates are important to reach for different developmental phases of the baby. 

First Goal: 10 weeks - the time we had miscarried our last little one
Second Goal: 14 weeks - first trimester completed
Third Goal: 18-20 weeks - ultrasound to see if everything is developing and measuring well
Fourth Goal: 21 -22 weeks - viability
Fifth Goal: 27-28 weeks - end of second trimester
Final Goal: 38 weeks - baby is fully developed

I was in between my second and third goals and I had my first midwife appointment to go to. Because of the holidays during the first trimester my first appointment had been set for the first week of the year. I was actually happy about that, because knowing I was going to get to hear our little guy's heart beat again was something to look forward on the way to my third goal.

Mom Life!

 

Here we go again..... this was my feeling with the extreme emotions and deep feeling reactions my 2nd youngest went through daily. 

I started to monitor when they happened and noticed she would sometimes get a red rash around her mouth as well.....I knew something was off.

This led to extra monitoring, documentation, etc....and realizing that she reacted every time we had a wheat heavy meal. So we started to eliminate a large portion of wheat/ gluten heavy meals from our diet. Her extreme emotional reactions began to calm and her rash would appear less. 

We made a doctor appointment and he said the best thing to do was to change our diet. 

Let me tell you, there is nothing like confirmation for what you were pretty sure was wrong and have been monitoring. Especially when as a mom, I know that I know my child the best. 

Do you listen to your intuition? Your gut? Or as I like to call it in my case, mommy gut? 

I have come to see this as one of God's gifts to us. The ability to sense when something is off, to feel the Holy Spirit leading us, to have the deep feeling that you know something is bothering your little ones and there is something that can help them you just have to search it out and pray to figure it out.....

I have done this on many occasions for my little ones. And there has been some fun and strange situations. But through it all, through observation, mommy gut, evidence based documentation, and throw a couple doctor visits in there too, God has lead me to many solutions for my family. 

The process is not always the same and each solution has been different, but that amazing God given and God lead instinct, mommy gut, is an amazing tool that has helped me to resolve some interesting situations in my family.
