PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[SweetV]

Dairy I'm so so sorry, your plan of dark chocolate and kiddo's sounds like just the right thing right now.

Florida - I'm sending all the positive thoughts your way. They are doing everything they can for you and your little girl. I can't wait to read that you are home and doing well tomorrow.

 

[floridamomma]

Dairry i agree, take some you time. Will you go to ob so they can document? Maybe they'll talk about adding to your regimen?

Going home today. Baby put on monitor and showed accelerations within 20 minutes(actually less). I will be able to finish school but I have to monitor my bp and take labetalol 3x daily. I have fiorcet in case my headaches are bad. I am putting myself on bedrest when I'm not at school. We will be delivering by 37 weeks so we just went to only 8 weeks until she gets here. The 24hr urine definitely confirmed preeclampsia so just have to keep myself as unstressed as possible. I must keep an eye on my symptoms but I am praying we hang in there for the last 8 weeks.

So sorry Dairy

Florida, hope your LO can hang on another 8 weeks but every extra day is a bonus. At least I guess if they know you have pre-e, they can monitor you & baby closely. Praying for you

 

[Tui]

Take it easy florida. Will keep my fingers crossed baby stays for a lot longer yet.

Florida-FX that baby girl sticks tight for another 8 weeks and your pre-e symptoms start going away with the treatments you are on.

AFM-no I'm not going to the dr unless the m/c doesn't start pretty quick here. My doctor doesn't think pregnancy is 'official' unless/until you have an obviously high hCG (I had an hCG of 36 with my last pg before this one and he didn't think it was enough for a bfp. ) so even if it's elevated, he won't think anything of it right now. However, if things don't start by next week, I may go in. I'm still getting obvious lines but it's weird because it's only ever on one test out of the 3-4 I'm doing daily and it's never the same brand each day. Like my FRER from the day AF was due is obviously bfp but today's (two days since) is bfn while the Equate blue dye is blazing blue (walmart ran out of 88 cent cheapies so I got the next best thing). I don't trust the blue dye though since the FRER, an FRER digi, and my IC are all bfn. I've had some discomfort today though so I'm hoping it starts soon and I can get the next few cycles over with. We're taking two months off on the advice of my naturopath and I decided I didn't want to deal with ttc and all this crap during the holidays so we'll start ttc again after the new year. It'll also give me some time to lose a few more pounds and just chill so I'm not unhappy about taking a break again.

 

[floridamomma]

dairy. Hoping the break does the trick.

All the magic of this miracle pregnancy is gone. Anxiety is here with a vegenace. 4 days ago I was just a momma on her way to her 28 week appt. excited I made it to the every 2 week appt time. Now I'm full of anxiety and depressed. I'm not feeling the baby move, trying to keep my bp down, and the next 8 week were flying until all this has happened. I can't go in the nursery as I get palpitations. I am terrified. I don't want to lose her and I have no ob right now. The high risk ob are a bunch of student residents who never agree, my old ob said I'm too high risk. I'm going to see if the ob who cared for me through all my mc will see me as I only switched to because I had to have a pap. I feel so lost and and alone. Plus I'm just not getting my typical movements.

 

[confuzion]

I'm so sorry Florida. I don't even know what to say to try and cheer you up because if it were me I would be feeling the same exact way. I hope your old OB will take you in and provide you with some more reassurance through the next 8 weeks. A group of doctors who don't agree doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.


Just hang in there and vent here as you need to .

 

[floridamomma]

confusion thank you
Back in l&d due to no movement. She's moving some on the monitor but I think we are doing a bpp. Bp up of course due to the stress of all that's happening. I'm at a point where I'm about to agree tpvbevinsice at 35 weeks. Not sure what to do. I went to my old ob they said they can't see me. High risk ob said I'm not their patient. So was sent back to l&d. High risk residents walk in and say you are our patient I don't know what to they are talking about. I feel so stuck in limbo.

 

[ttc126]

Florida I'm so sorry. That's extremely stressful. Take deep breaths and pray. Remember the faith that has gotten you this far. Trust your instincts. I'm sorry you are not with doctors you trust or like. Advocate for yourself. Ask as many questions as you need.

 

[ttc126]

Dairy I'm so sorry for your loss. How annoying your doctor doesn't "count" it as a pregnancy....

 

[dairymomma]

Florida- I don't even know what to say other than I'm thinking of you and praying so hard that you find a doctor you like and trust and is willing to take you on as a patient. I find it terrible that your old doctor won't see you yet the other dr won't either. You aren't a file with papers in it to be shuffled around. You are a scared pregnant woman with some pretty scary complications who NEEDS care and understanding right now. Not to mention answers. Hope all gets sorted out soon and you can get a plan of action in place.

 

[SweetV]

ARGH Florida I'm frustrated for you. It's very normal to feel less movement after the steroids as it is hard on your body imagine how tough it is on LO. It's the reason I didn't get them in my last pregnancy, I was so overcome with anxiety I couldn't deal with a week of reduced movements unless they were willing to admit me for constant monitoring.
I can not believe there isn't a high risk doctor that is willing to see you as a regular patient! At the hospitals here there is a high risk doctor associated with the hospital that takes on patients without a doctor when they come into L&D. If the ob that you are seeing is refusing to see you any longer they NEED to refer you to somebody that is. I agree with Dairy - you are not just a number! You are a woman with needs and your mental health depends on it.
Every day little one stays put is good news. You got this mama.

 

[Tui]

So far so good. Measuring 8w.

 

[floridamomma]

Admitted again due to bp even though I told them I was stressed attempting to find a dr. They are probably going to go up on my labetalol. Liver enzymes are up they say. Just aggravated. I'm a nurse and I feel like people are playing with me. I'm hoping to be induced by 35-36 weeks because this is becoming dangerous. I have an apptvboe, the drcatvthe hospital had to make it herself because the staff is that bad.

 

[blueblue]

Dairy - I'm so sorry , hope you are cuddled up with your little ones and lots of chocolate

Florida - hoping you find a doctor soon, it's so stressful for you. Sorry they are so useless! Hoping LO is able to stay in as long as safely possible for her

Tui - congratulations on 8 weeks

 

[newlywedtzh]

oh geez Florida! I'm so sorry! Please push to be put under someone's direct care- that is just ridiculous!!!! Can you just leave and go to another (better) hospital?!?! Worst case is you are just put on hospital bedrest which I know doesnt sound the best but I know Hope had to do that with her rainbow. Constant monitoring may offer you peace of mind. Prayers and positive thoughts being sent your way. And take solace that WORST WORST case scenario- you are passed viability. HUgs
