May 2013 Babies

[MizzPodd]

Kelly sorry to hear that how often do you have to take the insulin?

Amanda I have my fingers and toes crossed that you get your offer accepted!! Must be super stressful but exciting! nesting is great isn't it?? Gives you a great reason to shop for baby stuff lol
Hope your cold gets completely better before you move!

AFM- platelets were 97000 which I expected so I think I have the blood disorder again. I'm happy tho because that means I don't have to worry about blood clots or dvt while on bed rest. But I was told they transfer you out to high risk hospital once you get below 70000 bittersweet because I will be at the place I delivered dd1 and they have a great nicu if baby comes early (I pray I get to full term). But it's so far and I wouldn't get to see my hubby and daughter until the weekends
I have appt next Thursday to go over future plan of care. I pray that baby hasn't funneled anymore since last week!

Oh and my birthday is tomorrow Shhhh.... What can I do on bed rest?? Lol

Have a great weekend ladies

Mizz so long as you get the care you need that is the most important thing right xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad you're right I'd do anything for my rainbow baby

And good on you Mizz for seeing the silver lining (i.e. no worries with dvt & clots) in all this.

Amanda - hope you feel better soon hun, being ill & preggo is no fun at all.

Pad - yay for hubby getting excited about baby. And fx'd for the house - stressful but so exciting too!

Iluv - I'm so sorry you're going through this hun, doesn't sound like fun.

Oh and Tour, I'm so glad you've stopped throwing up, it was nice enough at 12 weeks, but this must be such a good feeling for you.

Afm - anyone else having a bump growth spurt? My waistline has expanded by a 1/2 inch in the past 6 days!

I take the insulin nightly. This brand just doesn't seem to be doing it. Getting frustrated. That and dh and the kids got to have pizza tonight and I so can't have it. Booo!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Yes Manu! My bump suddenly got huge! But then yesterday, it seemed to have deflated lol! I guess he must have changed position.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

So do we have a count on who all is having what??? I am on another forum for babies due in May/June and it's mainly boys!!

[Courtney917]

I'm having a boy;-). Happy Birthday Mizz!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks Court!

 

[padbrat]

Pickle is Team Blue too!!

I think there is a poll in second tri board and that shows slightly more boys expected overall too.

Mizz hope you are having a very restful... but lovely Birthday! x

Manu my waistline is HUGE!!!! Hubby measured around what was my waist last night and I am a whopping 45.5 inches!! So I have put on 22lbs and 15.5 inches around my waist in 24 weeks! What a porker!

And... Happy V Day to me and Pickle!!! Wahoooo!!

 

[cgav1424]

So many boys!!! But we're !!!

Happy birthday Mizz!

Pad - happy V day!!! Simply over the moon for you, chick! xx

 

[Courtney917]

Happy V day Pad!

Just thought I would share this with you ladies, as it really pissed me off (a bit of a rant). I went to my 24 week appt on Friday and dr asked me how I was feeling? I was like well since my son kicked me 3 weeks ago I have been having a lotof pressure and some cramping. I also said that I was a little upset bc I called the office when it happened and no one asked for me to come in so I can be checked out. You know what her reply was?!?!?!? "Well even if it was the start of preterm labor at 21 weeks there would be nothing we could do to stop it anyway." Ummmm excuse me??? I was so pissed. There's 8 doctors at the office and there's no telling who will be on call when I go into labor. I DO NOT want her in the delivery room, especially after that reply, it actually scares me and I don't know what her medical decisions would be if faced with an emergency situation. I am going to express my concerns and utter disgust when I go for my 28 week appt. She also have me the script for my glucose test and a follow up syphilis test??? Have you ever heard of that?? I didn't have syphilis at last round of blood work so why would I all of a sudden get it??? I am so annoyed :/.

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad- honey you are fine! Don't worry about that because women gain different amounts for different reasons... And for some like me it's a lot water weight so I wouldn't even worry. If you're a porker than so am I! Hehehe I know I've put on some good weight! Lol
Big for making it to V Day! Happy V day!!!

Court- I'm so sorry you are dealing with a straight up bitch doctor. That's stupid for her to say that to you and with me having delivered early that pwrsonally pisses me off! To put your mind at ease, there are different interventions they can do. There is medicine that helps stop contractions... There are the steroids that they would give you in case baby was born at 23 plus weeks. Two rounds of them. There is also emergency cerclauge a to stitch your cervix back together...!sweetie there is always hope and don't let that ignorant doctor tell you otherwise. I hope you avoid her the rest of your pregnancy. And bug the hell outta them because your child is worth it; if they get annoyed then of well! Lol sorry I got passionate about this because I delivered early and my doctors tried everything so you damn well deserve that too. Huge huge

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks Mizz. I was in shock that she said that bc I knew of all the interventions so it made me nervous that she would even say that!!! Then she said "well if you want I can check your cervix or put you on a monitor." I told her to forget it. I was so upset. I am thinking of going to a different hospital if she is on call when I go into labor as I don't trust her and rather a resident deliver my baby! I am so disgusted!! WHat's sad is the other doctors are amazing, so I don't want to leave the office. Oh and she also said "you don't seem happy with our practice, maybe you should go to another office." Seriously??? Grr sorry for the rant it just irritates me:/.

 

[MizzPodd]

I'm glad you know your options already! And that there are great doctors there despite that one. How silly of me, this isnt your first, of course you know that stuff! excusey preggo brain
Are you allowed to make sure your appointments are with the other doctors besides her? That way you can still stay. And then if she is on call maye go somewhere then? and let it out because u and baby boy doesn't need that unwanted stress.

 

[Tournesol]

Happy birthday Mizz! I hope you're being spoilt with lots of presents and lovely things!

Courtney, sorry you got such a bitch doctor! How unprofessional! I really hope you can sort it out and don't have to see her again xx
