Everybody please offer congrats to Saluki_Fan - she was featured (along with her husband) on one of the local stations here in St. Louis talking about her pregnancy loss experiences last night. I'm so proud of her - she is such a brave and articulate cyster (and sweet too)!

I have it on tape, and I'm going to take the tape to Walgreen's to get it put on a DVD, then one of my co-workers in IT is going to help me "stream" it so that y'all can watch it online. This may take a while (a week or two, I'm guessing) because of all the steps involved!
The only thing I'd really change is that I wish they had focused more on the medical reasons why people lose babies…there are SO many reasons for recurrent pregnancy loss – immune, anatomical, etc. They didn’t even really focus on “my” reason that much. I’m sure they were trying to respect my privacy. My RE spoke for a LONG time about medical reasons for recurrent PG loss, but he really got "edited" a lot. He will be bummed about that. He already emailed me this morning and told me he missed it last night; I hope he doesn't get upset when he sees it.
The one thing about helping those going through it to cope that I felt was most important didn’t get mentioned…remember the person’s important dates (their due date, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, etc.) I should have specifically told the producers that was very important to me, though. They are going to post this stuff on their website in a few days, and that WILL be included there.
Their website is www.fox2ktvi.com - click on "News" and then "HealthWatch". As of this morning, the blurb isn't up yet...hopefully soon!

I'm so excited to get to see. I'm sorry some very important things got edited out. I know how we all feel about the message of pregnancy loss and the reasons. We talk about it to try and help others. It's still really exciting that you participated and despite not getting everything out you hoped to, I bet you have made an impact on a lot of people. I wish I had the power to do that. I'm so happy you got the oportunity.
On another note, I barely see you around with your siggy. The weeks are flying by at lightening speed (at least for me )! 16 weeks 1 day, your little bean is doing great! I'm so happy for you!
