Lotus, fx'd this is it for you...I'm so excited you found a program in your new location. It's so difficult yo move while TTC.

Mells Congratulations! What beautiful little girls so very happy for you!

 

[~Brandy~]

The girls are doing great mom is not. I have chosen to take the torture as long as it isn't life threatening.

I am on hospital bed rest currently. The girls are about 5lbs 6oz each and 19" long.. Both head down. Dilated only 1cm with 40% effaced. My system is apparently not real thrilled with the end of pregnancy. I have kidney stones which are continually creating a new infection. So they are treating the infections as they come. I was just diagnosed with pre-eclampsia my entire body is swollen. To manage the pre e we are doing labs for liver levels every 6 hours as well as a urine collection that is being tested all the time. My BP is high for me but not for some people only around 140/70-80s.. So I'm just sitting around waiting for the big event lol. I'm F at any point any of my tests come back above a certain point I will be taken in for an emergency c-section
Forgot to mention they get daily scans for their fluids and 4 nst a day. As long as they are happy we keep them in.

Oh brandy. You are incredible for working so hard and going through so muh to keep them in!!!!!! Do you have a date in which you won't go through anymore or are you just waiting and seeing?

 

[MoBaby]

Brandy such a hard finish!! I'd probably given in by now.. I'm sorry you are going through all this but you are going to have beautiful girls soon! I hope everything improves soon.

 

[~Brandy~]

Thanks girls it's rough.. Multiple times per day I question my sanity lol. I just know those few extra days might determine their health for life.

If we can make it 7 more days to 36w the doctor and I will discuss delivery. I don't want pitocin so if I make it that far it's a c-section scheduled so we shall see... Nothing like no birth plan lol

 

[Mells54]

Brandy, after going through what you are going through less than 2 weeks ago, I applaud you. Please continue to listen to the docs (which I know you will) and bake those girls a little longer. I can't wait to see them!!!!!

 

[Em260]

Hi ladies. Wow I've missed a lot. So much going on!

Sandy - keeping everything crossed for you! Great news about the frosties too

Lotus - yay for getting started!! March 4th is so soon!

Babydancing - I hope the bleeding subsides. I know how scary bleeding/spotting is I had it all through my first and second trimesters.

Brandy - so sorry you're going through all of this Good job hanging in there and keeping your girls cooking a little longer. Fx they stay put until 36 weeks.

Mells - your girls are beautiful!! Congratulations!

Sweetness - I can't believe your boys are 3 months already! I love your avatar pic!

 

[Mells54]

Em, how are you and the LO doing? Can't believe she is almost a month old already. Seems we wait so long and then they arrive and time speeds up!

[~Brandy~]

What's the latest Brandy? How are you feeling??

Nothing has changed. Constant monitoring. Babies are fine my Pre E is holding steady not good but not any worse. I think I have bought the babies almost an extra week! This started on Sunday at 34W5D so gonna keep just powering through till Thursday of next week at 36W2D.... I told the doctor I would only then discuss a csection.

 

[MoBaby]

Glad you are sticking your ground! Sounds like you and babies are stable so keep cooking

 

[~Brandy~]

It's torture being on hospital bed rest! I vow to never commit a crime I couldn't hack it in jail Rofl.*

The doctors are letting me be home for the weekend but I have to report for labs and nst first thing Monday morning. Hooray

 

[jack79]

Ya I'm pretty stubborn when I decide something. I know they have training but I get to decide so we're going with it.
