So I'm having mild headaches. Not under any stress and lately been very fatigue and sleeping a lot. I know it's too early to test but I have a great feeling I might be. I'll wait til the weekend to test..

Hi Praying,

I didn't have fatigue, but I did have headaches and that feeling when you just know.

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi everyone! I hate to be a downer, but I have to get this off my chest. We had another ultrasound yesterday. The doc said we are now looking at pulmonary hyperstasis. Basically the lungs aren't maturing. I have practically no amniotic fluid, which is why the lungs aren't developing. Everything else is healthy, baby is growing consistently, good blood flow, just no fluid to develop the lungs. It is heartbreaking, especially since we can only "wait and see". I have honestly never felt so alone in all my life. No one else has to experience feeling him move or doing the baths and the other things that are supposed to help, it's just me. This amazing miraculous journey has slowly become a nightmare. I really, really need some answers. I'm not sure how much longer I can handle this. It's torture to feel him in there thriving, not knowing if he will survive long enough for me to hold him and look into his eyes. I see my regular OB tomorrow, so we'll see what he says. I'm going to ask that they retest to see if I am leaking fluid. It doesn't make sense that the baby is growing and there is good blood flow, but the fluid is low. I'm thinking there must be a leak.

Anyway, I'm so sorry to be a downer, I just wasn't sure where else to get this out. It's so hard to actually talk it out, that I thought I could write it, which has been easier.

Thanks for "listening"! Wishing all the best to all of you!

Sib, you could never be a downer, this thread is exactly for sharing what we going through.

I cant imagine what you going through, it must be heartbreaking, I really don't know what to say but that you are in my prayers. I pray that your OB will have some practical answers, surely there is something they can do.

In the meantime I am sending you loads of

Thank you Ibelieve!

Always, I am 23 weeks. I see my OB today and will be asking about steroids, but the problem is there isn't any fluid for him to swallow for the lungs to develop. I was also told that steroids are only helpful towards the end, but we'll see what he says.

Hugs Sib,

I hope the appointment goes well, I pray there is something they can do. Please keep me updated.

 

[Sib4Owen]

Thanks Ibelieve. I'll definitely let you know how it goes.

 

[Ibelieveitwil]

Why don't you ask to be referred to a Maternal specialist, they are really good and I am sure they can do something...

 

[Sib4Owen]

Thanks, I will!

Hello everyone! My name is Gabrielle, and I'm new to BNB. I've been following your thread, and you ladies have given me so much hope! Sib I pray everything works out for you and the baby, and that you get answers soon. There has to be a way to help your little one. I agree that you should definitely check out a maternity specialist. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! I'll tell you a little about myself and try to keep a long story short. Well in a nutshell, my Dh and I have been ttc since we've gotten married in Oct 2005. I was diagnosed with pcos in 2006, tried the Clomid, menopause injections and IUI a few times with no success. In Feb. 2007 I had a laparoscopy to make sure there wasn't any blockages, scarring, etc. which there weren't, but my ovaries were swollen, about the size of huge golf balls. After that, we took some time off of ttc because it was so stressful and an emotional rollercoaster and was taking a toll on our relationship. We really needed that! We just started seriously ttc again last year, and my Dr placed me on femara last month. Soo much better than Clomid! I ovulated on New Year's Eve, we dtd, and here I am today! =) Ever since I ovulated and dtd I've had slight cramping here and there..not sure if it's normal, I'm just excited to have finally gotten a positive opk! I guess we'll see if we caught the egg or not. I'm glad I can share my journey with you ladies.
