[Bumpblues82]

is it true tho that you cant get preg till your hcg is completely gone? as you wont ovulate?

GL ladies with scans/Dr. visits this week!

Ich: praying for ya! You will do great!!

Can't wait to see scan pics Wiggler, Sevilla

Leinz: what is NST?

 

[Leinzlove]

NeeSAH: NST is non stress test. It is usually performed in the third trimester to see if baby is stressed.

AFM: I'm ashamed to admit that last night I heard baby via doppler. But, I was still freaking out this morning, thinking something was wrong. It is better, though than not being able to sleep in panic the night before and crying... Etc.

However, here I am 16+2, and Baby is great. My Dr. Appt. was amazing... Heard baby right away. I also went for bloods. I decided to have the Quad test done to screen baby for down syndrome, cystic Fibrosis and another birth defect.

I didn't have it done with DD. Because, I knew no matter what I was keeping my baby. I also know that this time... However, I've learned alot with DD being born with birth defects. And I know its better to be prepared. No test changes what is. Also, I plan on delivering in a hospital without a NICU. I will have my results in a week. If no news... its good news.

I also scheduled my Scan, the one that checks for markers and usually you find out gender. (I'll refind out.) It's 3 weeks from today on Aug. 28. I also scheduled two regular OB appts. One on Sept. 4 and another on October 2... That will take me past my V-day!

Of course baby was great! I know it's hard not to worry but you are in great shape now!! So happy the appointment went well. I had the screening done for the same reason.

 

[sevilla24]

Leinz - glad everything went well!! What makes you change hospitals from when DD was born? Just curious

 

[Leinzlove]

Sevilla: I didn't change hospitals. Baby #2 is planned to be delievered where both DD was born and her father.. We got lucky DD wasn't born blue and could breathe. We ran into feeding issues and she had to be transported to a bigger hospital with a NICU. We were seperated at birth... It was terrible. I cried all day and all night. I couldn't even sleep. Visitors kept coming and there was no baby there. It definitley wasn't what I had planned. I was so worried, didn't know all what was wrong. Etc.

She did have upper airway constriction... But that didn't start until we took her home. She had emergency jaw distraction surgery 3 days before she turned 2 months old. It was definitley scary... But all is great!

Anyways, this won't tell us if we have another baby with the same defects DD had. This tests for more serious conditions. We are at a 5-7% increased risk for it to happen again. It isn't enough to warrant more testing... Which is great! It's just now I'm taking the tests I'm offered... I'd rather be prepared.

 

[sevilla24]

Oooh I understand!!! That's why you were separated when she was born (you had mentioned it before). That sucks!!!! Well I certainly hope you don't have to go through anything like that again. I understand wanting to be prepared and getting testing done. I chose not to (hope I don't regret that decision later... but it's what I wanted at the time). I just didn't want to go the rest of my pregnancy worrying. I mean, I already worry about my stupid cervical issues anyway!!! So, if (ugh, I hate even suggesting it) you have similar issues with DD #2 will you do anything different so you don't have to go through the separation? I mean, is there any other option???

 

[Bumpblues82]

well i did a preg test today and its getting lighter am only one week past dnc so ill get there :/ hoping to go down to coventry which is 3 hrs away by car sometime next week to see the doc again and as soon as i get a pos hpt she will put me on heparin, steroids baby asprin and prgesterone again :/ but this is deffo the last shot so it better work!! in mean time im getting tested for toxoplasmosis which you get from cats and kittens just to be on the safe side as you can carry it for years and not know and it can cause mc according to some articles i have read today so just wanna rule that out as we have 2 cats and recently had kittens which carry it from birth x

 

[Leinzlove]

Sevilla: Probably not, as DD's isn't seen on ultrasounds or with testing. However, if something worse arrose... I'd deliver in a children's hospital where they have the equipment, doctor's and specialists to give my baby the best chance at life.

As my hospital... has just my baby Dr. and nurses and ofcourse the epidural guy. Within an hour of birth our pediatrian will come in to check baby out. (Which is when we found out about DD.)

Yay! I'm so happy you are giving your rainbow one last shot. I thinkits a good idea to check for toxoplasmosis...

 

[lch28]

hello everyone.. leinz im glad all is well. im so sorry you went through that with DD =[ it must have been so hard to have her taken from you!!

bump - toxoplasmosis can cause a MC only if you get it during pregnancy. i was tested for it with Sophia and already had the antibodys which means i was infected pre pregnancy. it is only a issue if you get it during pregnancy

so many appointments this week yay!!

thanks so much for all your support ladies =] i am home and in bed. Procedure went good.. didn't feel a thing.. except for the epidural =[ that hurt. took about 30 mins.. then i had to lay in the hopsital for 4 hours until i could feel my legs/use the bathroom. Dr used the doppler after the procedure so i heard the hb. i am having some bleeding and even though i have been told to expect it its a scary sight.. however my dr said the bleeding during the procedure was very minimal and he has seen much more.

 

[srrhc]

Leinz I think I may have mentioned this before but you are a strong lady to endure all of that. But now God has blessed you again with another baby girl.

Ich I also think you are a strong lady! I am glad the procdure went great an you are getting the rest you need. The epidural you had is that the same thing you do when you are in delivery? I have always wondered how bad it would hurt and for how long.

Bump I am glad to hear you are trying again and I hope that you may consider finding a new doc office. One that is more than supportive and caring. You deserve that.

So happy for everyone with appointments this week. 6 days until my first ulatrasound and I feel like a child waiting for Christmas morning haha!

I loaded a picture of my baby/bloat bump on my pregnancy journal (page 3) of anyone wants to take a peek. Haha it is a lot of bloat but I love it hehe!
