Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[SLCMommy]

Yeah well... I'm so IRRITATED!!!

Got to my appointment. Was told they can't take me as a patient because I am high risk. Said they would mark the appointment as "canceled" so I don't get charged. I told her that I would still stay within the health system, so blood draws, dating scan, etc... would all be in the notes for whoever can take me. She said nope...you are "high risk" and I don't want to charge you...

.....I'm like duh...apparently she wasn't listening.

So, guess where I am stuck at? The OB I had before. Can you see the steam coming out of my ears? Okay, well. Fine. At this point I just want some prenatal care. However, I can't get in until the 23rd. So, I'll be like, 9 - 11 weeks. But, honestly, I have no clue...so whatever.

...Pretty much really disliking life right now.

 

[ALPDULUTH]

well, took a test this a.m. and a but still no AF. So idk. I'm out of tests and now I'm just waiting for the to rear her ugly little head.

 

[SLCMommy]

Alicia - LMAO "rear her ugly little head".... :/

I'm just so effin frustrated! Good thing this isn't my first pregnancy... if this is how gross healthcare will be here, I might as well wing it and have a home birth. After all, apparently the physicians here butcher people in surgery anyways so whats the use of seeing a "high risk" patient early? Grrrrrrrrrrrr......

 

[Pino6161]

Do they have a birthing center in Utah? They are more pricey, and insurance usually doesn't cover it all, but they birthing center here in Tucson, AZ is great. A home birth could be great as well though. Anything to stay away from hospitals! They are horrible. I'm not sure about up there but I don't like the ones here

lol I was just being frustrated. I'll need a c-section actually

 

[Pino6161]

Oh I am sorry sweetie but at least you know either way at the end you will have your little one

 

[Steph32]

Ashley- WAIT... the OB that botched your surgery?!?! Who said you have to go back to him? Can't you find a new OB? And I'm sure another one would not recommend you waiting until 9-11 weeks, especially being high risk. If you're high risk they usually like to see you and do an u/s as early as possible to confirm viability of the fetus. Find another OB in your area!

I am leaving out of town just for tomorrow, but on Friday I am calling around to the other OBs that are covered by my insurance and seeing if they can get me in sooner. Otherwise, I honestly don't have another place to go...

Well this sucks! Imagine a healthcare provider refusing to service based on high-risk! Can I ask why they consider you high-risk? Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about with this pregnancy Ashley, but I would advise getting an appointment just because you're a woman and you will worry without one (I know, that's what I do too ) Plus you'll want to get yor blood work done, etc. Can you PM me the name of your former/current OB? I am going to ask my doc for a reference toward your area and would like to know what name to avoid.... His wife is a mw in Logan (I think?) and he swears she is aweosme but he should have a good reference. Hang in there!

Hi ladies!

AFM- today was an odd day....I went for my usual walk just so's I don't get bigger and fatter then spent most of the day on my school assignment. Took a break from my annoying academic team though Felt almost like a day off!

Then just cooked dinner (steamed skinless chicken breast and green salad) and played outside with the girls for a while. Ok, well, "play" constituted working out with my weights, doing push-ups (modifed because of my belly ) squats, etc.... But I got to blast rock music which really annoyed my neighbors Nothing like Queen and Billy Idol, maybe a little Bono....as long as its loud Then bathed the girls, got ready for bed...I am exhausted and didn;t really do much though

I am really trying to focus on eating healthy and staying active so my only "butt-time" (sitting) is when I am doing school or, erll, eating But i think I eat okay? No junk...what I consider "junk" is cottage cheese or 2% as opposed to skim...so maybe not too bad. I am just still amazed my doc told me to slow down on weight gain I've never had a doc tell me that before! Feels weird

I was having sharp cramps today, along side with loose stool and now I went to wipe discharge/cm and it was tinted pink... what should I do?

Don't worry first of all-- first few weeks of pregnancy all brings some crampiness with it and I remember having slight pink tinged cm also. In fact I just checked the chart I kept and my pink cm was about a week after bfp and the crampiness/twingy pains I felt were like 2.5-3 weeks aftetr bfp. So it could just be very natural body changes! Try not to worry or stress

I know you are scared crazy it is another mc but nothing right now points to that! So try to relax, take a few deep breaths, and if you are really worried demand an u/s just to check everything. That would help put your mind at ease!

Okay! Thanks I'm freaked out. LOL. I guess I really shouldn't worry unless it actually is RED but...yikes. Not really what I want to see before I go out of town tomorrow morning...

 

[Grey Eyes]

I know-- freaking out is what we do best! But relax if you can and try not to worry.

 

[Steph32]

Try not to worry, that won't do any good for you! I know that pink discharge and even full on bleeding throughout the 1st tri can be normal. I had a friend who bled heavily through the whole first tri and she kept having u/s done and baby was fine. He was born totally healthy too. So hang in there, don't get ahead of yourself--nothing to worry about!

 

[SpudsMama]

Ashley - What they said ^^^ Pink CM/spotting can be completely normal during first tri. Just try to rest up!

Steph - How are you and Brandon doing now?

Laura - How are things going at home? xx

 

[akshustobemom]

Coy and Shradha..

I had a spare Pregnancy test kit and tested( not with early morning u****!! coz i kinda remembered only at 11AM).

Got a biiiiiiggggg darrrrkkkkkk

i know u girls told me not to test.Hmmm out of curiosity i did

will wait till 8th and test..thanx for the support ladies...

 

[lauraemily17]

Ashley - big hugs but like the girls say its really quite common. For you it may just be from scar tissue or something, that happened to my friend & she still has spotting sometimes & she's now 28 weeks.

Coy - Your dinners always sound do yummy, can you come and cook for us??!!

Emma - its just great to be home but I did have a bit of a hormonal wobble again last night. I was warned this happens around now so trying to take it in my stride. I guess I feel a bit overwhelmed that we've got this tiny little person to look after. I'm overfilled with joy & a bit scared. Last night, the first night in our bed since he was born I also really really missed the bump!! Even though he's in the Moses basket next to the bed!! Last night was also first night for DH & bless him, he's knackered & Xanders actually really good only waking up a couple of times, feeding & having a nappy change & going back to sleep. He said to me this morning he hadnt realised how tiring it is being woken & now understands why I'm so tired as I've been doing it for almost a week after 2 days of no sleep! He's great though. He's just brought me a coffee & bacon butty to bed!!

Steph - how is Brandon? Are you still feeding on demand? It was really difficult feeding Xander to start with, he just didn't take to the breast. He would literally clamp his mouth shut & give me this stubborn little look as if to say no Mummy, it's too hard work!! The poor feeding along with being born with low blood sugar meant it just got worse & he ended up having a couple of fit like episodes. The first while I was holding him. It was just horrible & I'll never forget how he looked, it terrified us. Pushed the emergency buzzer in our room & about 10 midwives came running in!!! Along with the low blood sugar he also had low platelets only 40 when it should be 100. They thought the 2 may have been connected & he was taken to the special care baby unit to be monitored & put on a glucose drip to increase his blood sugar. Once his blood sugar was back to normal the difference in him was huge, do much more alert! Still had a few probs feeding but the staff in the unit were brilliant & helped loads with positions & things. It did take giving him a bottle in the end which he downed but I think he liked the full tummy feeling & breast feeds great now! His platelets finally went up yesterday to 83 from 50 the day before. They suspected they would sort themselves out in time after they ruled out an infection. They suspect DH & I have incompatible blood even though we're both A+. There's still antibodies which can cause probs. so all of us have had blood sent off to specialists for assessment. We're thinking if that is it it may finally explain the miscarriages!! Makes Xander a very special little boy. He's clearly a fighter!! He's been poked & prodded so much over the last week he really should be very grumpy but he's not. We're back to the hospital on Friday for more blood tests for him as well.

 

[shradha]

I really just HATE seeing only one line!!

Can understand the feeling.......the anticipation..but you still have time.... 10dpo is early.... I am sure within 2-4 days you will surely get a result...
