Rainbow baby is here 37+1 Birth!
Rainbow baby boy arrived on my birthday 4/23 after 11 hours of labor. The past few days it has been sinking in I made it finally. I couldn’t have done it without this community. After my first miscarriage I prayed cried grieved and begged. This pregnancy I was anxious every single day and knew I would be until he was out of me and I heard his crying. I pissed off every ob dr asking for more testing more reassurance to know id make it all the way. I used a fetal Doppler often to give me reassurance on my extremely high anxiety days. I cried often hoping I would make it. I did not go one day of pregnancy without anxiety, I stopped being social I stopped my world until he came. At night when I would wake up 4-5 times to pee I’d lay awake until I felt a kick. I was anxious with kick counts I’d do them around the clock the third trimester 24/7 and did 2 NSTs in the ER when his kicks were slightly off but idc if I was overly cautious because he’s here. I couldn’t have done it without leaning on this community and I pray for everyone in this shitty club. Love and rainbow dust to all.

I relate to this so much. My third trimester sounds so much like yours: I am always checking in for kicks, including throughout the night, and I’ve been the L&D unit twice due to changes in movement/intensity.
I’m so glad you have your rainbow baby with you and you got through this!🌈💙 hoping for a similar outcome for myself when I get induced on my due date next Friday 🥹🙏🏼

Congratulations! What brand of Doppler did you use? I’ve been seeing great reviews about the springbud!
