Yeah. My mother is Armenian. As many people know us Armenians like to eat...in large quantities lol. I was raised Armenian Apostolic, but my parents never forced us to go to church...if we wanted to go they would take us, but if we didn't want to we didn't have to...we would spend the time together doing fun family things! :thumbup:

My husband and I are agnostic. I used to be Armenian Apostolic.

Yeah they told me I would most likely need to be on Heparin during my next pregnancy and probably quite a bit of bed rest. It was so scary. I had used up all my clotting factor when the placenta abrupted so my son and I were bleeding to death. He took 7 units and I took 4 units of blood. I haven't seen a perinatologist...I'm not even sure what that is :smile: lol

Also...Patty...just because I am a non believer now doesn't mean I was ALWAYS a non beliver...in fact I am a beliver now...just not the same beliefs as yours.

The thing is...when I got pregnant with my son I was around 215...when I found out I was pregnant this last time I was around 190...it's so crazy. I have so much horrible things going on right now. Thank you all so much for your stories and support :smile: Lord knows I need it!

When I had my son I had pre eclampsia pretty bad. At 32 weeks I had a placental abruption and it tore a pretty good sized hole in my uterus. They found out that I have 2 clotting disorders that cause me to over clot and my dr believes that all of those may cause it difficult to conceive. When I was in the or having my c section they almost did a complete hysterectomy because my uterus had so much damage. I have the scar from the c section and a scar from the tear.

I was just curious...how come a woman cannot "kill" her baby, but it is okay for soldiers to kill in the name of our country at the order of the government...doesn't that make them murderers?

I'm sorry, but did you just say ALL babies die young...?

Thank you Watcher for your words of support and respect. Thank you for that...really. The past 3 years have been some of the worst years of my life...sometimes it just doesn't feel like there is light at the end...hopefully things will get better soon...fingers crossed!

All of that is crap!

are you trying to say that i didn't pray my ass off when i was pregnant with my son?! That i didn't pray...give me a healthy baby, please...do you think that when my son was dying that i didn't pray and pray!!!!??? God doesn't get my prayers because everytime i prayed it fell on deaf ears. God has kick me when i was down time and time again. I am tired of hearing, "god only gives you what he thinks you can handle" well guess what i stopped being able to hand what he was throwing me a long friggin time ago!!!!! I hate what he has done to my family and my life. What happened to me and my son and my other child had nothing at all to do with free will!!! If god creates life then who the hell do you think helped my son develope? Who formed him? Who made him the way he is?!?! Where was god when i was trying to kill myself because no one answered my prayers? Where was god when my husband was injured in iraq? Where was god when my son was developing? Where was god when i was holding a blade to my wrist? Where is you god?!?! He's not here...he's never been there for me....ever!!!! How dare you spew that crap. You talk like god is speaking in your ear...like you would know exactly what he wants of his other children! You may know what he wants for you in your life than you follow what he wants for you, but don't you dare assume that you know what he wants from others....christianity is a religion. I don't care what you say! You should be ashamed of yourself...maybe you should think and reread what you type before you post!!! I'm out of here...

Thank you :smile: This has really helped me...it really has

That's a bunch of crap, people would have been made if it was an accident too! Are you kidding yourself? God is a bunch of crap! There is no such thing as God and if there is he is the cruellest God there is and I don't want an part of him or his religions! Your "God" has embedded my life with suffering! Your "God" must not know what compassion means because he has shown me none!!!

Excuse me but that is a whole lot of Bullshit! Come on!!!! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life!!!!

I have discussed adoption with my husband and we decided to try for a few more of our own first and then if we still were unable or having problems that we would adopt :cursing:

lol Thanks Bjean...I know it gets tough sometimes...I was thinking about it and you know that not even the person that Started this thread even talks on here lol. I've been spending a lot of time trying to laugh so I've been spending time on this site that my hubby showed me. He bought this book a while back called The Alphabet of Manliness (Which I thought was hilarious)! lol. After we both read the book I started reading his website...which I don't suggest for people like Patty...he does say some crazy stuff, but I think it's funny! Anyways, if you ever wanted to check it out for a laugh it's: The Best Page In The Universe. It's called the Best Page in the Universe. He posts his hate mail and a bunch of articles about random things like iPhones and Fashion...even movie reviews lol...

Beautifully said. Finally someone else to weigh in...I was starting to feel abandoned :cursing: lol.

Thank you all so much. The hospital brought in a social worker/Grief Counselor. She basically said; "You are so young. You and your husband can try for another baby. The egg was probably deformed so your body did what it had to do. At least you already have a child...some women aren't even that lucky. At least it happened early on and not later in pregnancy." It was like everything horrible that someone could say. It was like are you here to make me feel better? Geeze. Thank you for the prayers. I cry a lot...barely ever around my son. I know that he needs his mommy 100% and I try my best to give that to him. He's special needs/disabled so it was really tough to even think about trying again. I had pre-eclampsia when I was pregnant with him. I had him 2 months early and he was very sick. They gave him an hour to live. (He just turned 2 in March). He was in the NICU for 4 1/2 months and in the PICU for 2 months. He's had 2 surgeries. I was so so scared to try for another baby. My husband and I always wanted a large family (I come from a family with 8 older brothers, my husband 3 siblings). Being so scared we finally decided that 2 years was enough time and we were ready. We found out I was pregnant and we were so very excited, but scared...I knew that this was a possibility, but I just hoped that it wouldn't happen to me. It was like pouring salt on the wounds that were left from my son...it hurts so much. Thank you all again for all of you support, stories, and prayers.

wow I was off by 5-6 days! Kill me! I was just going by what my doctor told me....since I was just pregnant. Whatever, I really cannot stomach to discuss this anymore tonight.

The heart starts beating at 6 weeks...so the fetus would be 4 weeks old

yes I understand...I just always go by that same dating...so then most women find out they are pregnant when the baby is only 2-4 weeks old...so when prolifers say heartbeat starts at 6 weeks (or whatever it is) do they mean the pregnancy is 8 weeks along or the actual fetus is 8 weeks old (which will mean 10 weeks pregnant)?

all of the web sites that I went to for my pregnancy calendar used the same age...?

If life starts at conception then the age would be the same...? Yes when I say 5 weeks I guees it means 3 weeks to you which I don't quite understand...

Gestational...the age that most sites use when showing the growth of the fetus and the progress of the pregnancy.

At five weeks the baby is the size of a sesame seed. at 6 weeks the size of a lentil (About 1/4 inch). 7 weeks around the size of a blueberry...
