2016 May Miracles

It's settling down I believe, I chugged 40 oz of water, that aught to do it :haha:
It probably is the weather . Also I think we are having a growth spurt, she's always a bit less active during a growth spurt and my uterus tends to be more achy and more frequent braxton hicks during growth spurts so I really think that's it!!
 
Oh full moon madness over here as well! Both for baby to be and my little man! :grr: Hope everyone is doing better today! :flower:

Hope you are all safe and warm for the first time in my life we are NOT getting the nor'easter! Its so crazy!
 
Glad your uterus is calming down, Pink. I'm sure you're right about the growth spurt. My little guy has definitely been going through one as well, since I can now see most of his movements from the outside, which wasn't the case last week.

Baker, we only got about 4 inches of snow, so nothing to complain about here, either!

As for me, it's V-day! :happydance:
 
I just got home from the OB, had to go in and get checked with all these issues this weekend...
DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!! That viability day is now 23 weeks and not 24 weeks.. I can't believe they can do such amazing stuff now days!!
 
Hey ladies, so sorry I've been absent and not keeping up. The kids have kept me busy and I've been sick. Hopefully I can be back at keeping up. Spiffy thanks so much for creating a guesstimate page. Neat idea :thumbup:
I 'think' I've got all the gender updates up, let me know if I missed you. Also if anyone has their babies' name set in stone (so to say) and would like it added to the front page, just let me know. :)

Sorry to see that some of you have been battling with uterine irritability and HG. I usually have both while pregnant so can empathize. Flossie, I hate seeing when any of you have to have hospital stays-hope you are doing much better.

Pink that's awesome huh?!
Congrats to those hitting such a fantastic milestone!
 
Pink, that's awesome! I know I've heard stories about 23 weekers that have survived, but I wasn't sure if it was a national policy to resuscitate at that gestation yet, or if it depended on the individual doctor or hospital to chose whether or not to wait until 24 weeks before intervening. By the way, how did your appointment go?

Busytulip, sorry you've been sick. :( Thanks for checking in with us. I hope you're feeling better! :hugs:
 
My appointment went well. I am considered a high colonized group B strep carrier so that puts me at a higher risk of problems (preterm labor and stillbirth and complications) so my dr is taking it all very seriously. I'm having another urine culture done (I've had high amounts of Group B strep in my urine 3 times already this pregnancy and I've been treated with different antibiotics each time) so if it's high still I have to have another round of a different antibiotic. Which with how I'm feeling I can almost guarantee you the Group B strep with be high again! So my culture should be back in a few days and we will know something!!! It's just scary to think about all that!!
 
Pink, I've never even heard of that! (I've heard of group B strep, obviously, but not getting it that often). If it comes back positive again, I hope you can kick it this time with the antibiotics. :hugs:
 
We just delivered someone 23+3 a couple hours ago. Not ideal but at least we can try. I'm pretty sure it still depends on the hospital and whether they have the ability to resuscitate at 23 or 24 weeks.
 
Drjo, that's scary.. Are you a Dr or nurse? I am thankful there are options but it still seems like the odds are against them!!
 
I'm a nurse. The baby was alive last I knew, but at 23 weeks things are very unpredictable. The mom had steroids for fetal lung development a couple days ago so hopefully that will help, but her fluid was also low so that can be harmful.
 
Congrats on vday spiffy. Pink sorry to hear about the complications, what happens if your test comes back positive? I hope it doesn't though.

So scary about that little baby, I hope it pulls through, poor little thing.
 
On a more frivolous note I just had a pregnancy massage (Xmas present from dh) I highly recommend one if anybody is thinking about it. It's so relaxing. I'm going to have to have another!
 
NZkiwi, I get a full pregnancy massage with every chiropractic adjustment.. it's awesome!!!!

If my culture is high again (already has been) then I'll be on a stronger antibiotic. I've already been on two different antibiotics for it this pregnancy. Seems like every 8 weeks they check and I it's positive and it's been 8 weeks since! So I'm fully expecting it to be positive!
 
Spiffy - congrats on vday!

Pink - sorry to hear about the group B strep. Hopefully it hasn't come back. congrats on Vday as well! I didn't know that about 23 weeks, wow. I guess that means I'm only a day away from vday :)

Drjo - how sad but at least the baby has a fighting chance. Hopefully things keep going in a positive direction.
 
Ladies I think you should show off your V-day bumps!!

I hope everyone is doing well!

What milestone(s) are you looking forward to next?
 
I'm excited for 30 weeks! I just feel like that's huge!

.. I used to think I would be someone who took weekly bump photos, and I think I've probably taken 3 so far :haha: I'll have to take a new one and post it soon. I defiantly feel like I've gotten bigger lately. I have the number on the scale to prove it :haha:
 
I'm looking most forward to third tri :).. well actually I have a shower in a week and a half and then one in 2 and a half weeks. And THEN I'll look forward to 3rd tri :)
