DH and I just had a little listen to and talk with Pruney.

Next time we heard him (he's a him today) he'll be a lime!!

Wasn't as clear today as there must be a big vein of mine in front of him as my pulse kept sort of coming over the top.

Still got to hear the little train engine though. So cute. Now I'm imagining a little prune in a train drivers cap. Lol!

I can't believe how lucky I am.

Aww yes mizz we most certainly would be in person bump buddies! I don't have any prego friends either...my best friend just had her 3rd daughter and my other friend is a complete weirdo who is obsessed with anyone that is pregnant and being pregnant...she's a complete loon! Shes one of those people you don't hear from for months until you end up pregnant then suddenly she wants to be your best friend and offer lots of annoying advice like "I don't see why you'd want to have your babyin a birth center that's not safe and it's going to hurt so bad" ummm whatever I had my 6 year old completely natural in a hard hospital bed after the doctor took 5 hours to get there while I was 10 cm dilated and then gave me a 4th degree episiotomy and ripped my son out of me with forceps.... I think I can handle a relaxing natural delivery in a warm pool oh water with my midwife and hubby's support... Psycho...wow I'm moody

Iluv- I'm sorry you are going through all that at once... I definitely understand how scary it is coming to the date that is significant as that. I am getting nervous thinking about mine too and the due date which is the same month but I just know these babies are going to make it alllll the way I'm thinking your angel is smiling at you and protecting their little brother or sister remember we have our guardian angels protecting us

Storm- omg so ignorant! They assume we should love our baby angels less because they aren't with us physically anymore. I love my kids equally unconditionally. I just don't get the thinking of some ppl. I could never love my children more than the other.... Ever! But we are all here for you if you need to vent cry yell anything. It's only natural to feel anxious around this time for you. I pray you get through this okay

Definitely have an angel!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Amanda- hahahahahahahaha lol yeah I think you could definitely handle it! And hey your mood is perfectly fine.... Lol we all can attest to that.
Yeah I understand the natural birth. Had two so far and this is number three, blood platelets disorder is why.

Hi everyone! I have a question. I am totally freaking out right now. I went for my 12 week appt yesterday and she told me I could stop the progesterone. Well I reduced my amount from 400 mg to 200mg bc I didn't feel comfortable stopping the meds cold turkey. I stopped yesterday and now today I have had cramping ALL DAY! I don't know what to do? The doc will not check my levels as she said placenta takes over the production of progesterone at this stage. So my question is: Should I continue taking the meds!?? I still have 2 weeks left and one more refill. Opinions?

Hey Courtney, no need to freak out. I was on progesterone for my IVF cycle and was told by my Dr to stop at 9 weeks because that's when the placenta takes over. I did, and cold turkey, and it was fine. They tested my placenta after I had my D&C and it was perfect. Only thing wrong was baby was missing one of her X chromosomes and that had nothing to do with the progesterone.

Some people wean themselves off progesterone or go for a bit longer because it makes them feel better. It doesn't make any difference to your baby but it might help your peace of mind.

 

[manuiti]

Oh girls, I've got happy tears streaming down my face right now. My doppler just arrived and I managed to find baby's heart - going at a lovely 180bpm. I'm just over the moon and so so relieved to have heard something!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Courtney don't worry sweetie I stopped my prog too and everything is fine I cramp all the time it is probably from constipation, stretching uterus, or gas chin up honey!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Gah! So I'm on PIO through the 1st trimester per request. Pain in the butt but I did it with Preston and the last baby so really success is well worth it! I will run out by Monday at 9 weeks and the RE thinks I no longer need it. They might be right but I know the placenta doesn't take over until 12 weeks and I do not want to take that chance. So I begged them and got them to give me one more refill! Should have got me real close to 12 weeks and then I'd be done! I call Walgreens today to see if it's ready and they tell me they only ordered me half the dose which will get me only 10 more days. Livid doesn't even cover it. I don't know why they would do this to me?!?!!? I pay one copay so even if I convince them at my appt Monday to give me one more vial, I have to repay the copay. Seriously......

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Courtney-Odd timing because I posted kinda the same thing! LOL 12 weeks is standard and I went cold turkey with DS as well. No problems so don't you worry!

Manu-So awesome!!! I'll check mine again at 9 weeks. No luck yet but I did hear it at the u/s place.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Morning ladies - remember you're welcome to have a little 'may rainbows' image and link in your signatures if you like - just paste this:

And take out the 2 lots of "**"

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks ladies! I didn't take the 200 mg again and all is ok. I'm going to start weaning myself next week off the suppositories. I know placenta is fully formed and functioing as I saw it on sonogram at beginning of week. I guess after losses we become overly nervous!

 

[MizzPodd]

Manu- how wonderful! That's a very strong heartbeat

 

[padbrat]

Mizz, Storm, Amanda, Court, Manu and all you other lovely ladies that have suffered loss.. I had no idea we all had this is common... Sadly we have this in common. It appears we also have (I am sure) well meaning but clueless friends and relies who say stupid things... hence why I gave up telling anyone when i was pregnant after my second loss. However, we all have eachother now and we all understand xxx

Manu I can't believe you found such an amazing HB!! Fabulous... I so so so so want one too... bloomin Hubby!! Pah!

Saw MW today... blah blah blah... gave me a whole load of junk and paperwork. Am off to see thyroid obs specialist on Monday... hopefully he can sort me out ... and hopefully I will get another sneaky scan of Pickle!!

Wonder when they will start to wean me off all the meds I am on...

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad I've missed you! I'm so happy to hear from you and I think you will definitely get taken care of!
