Home and no longer on all the meds so I'm much more wth it. Our little one is ib the nicu for the next few weeks but according to then rises and doctors she isxdonig well and shoudltn nevthere long. She was really tiny 2.7lbs and the nurses said she was going to stay pretty small due to the preeclampsia so it was good to have bee induced. Will update birth story another time. For now getting settled and putting my feet up as the swelling is back.

 

[SweetV]

I'm glad to hear you're home and resting. Hopefully she will be with you there soon enough. I love to hear that the medical team thinks she is doing well. I'm so happy for you even though I know this wasn't exactly the plan.

Congrats Florida!

 

[floridamomma]

Thank you sweet. She is doing so well just a tiny little thing. She is going to start eating soon so she should be home sooner than later.

Thank you hope.

 

[blueblue]

Glad she is doing well and hope she can come home soon. Hope you are feeling OK and getting lots of rest. She's a little darling, congratulations, I'm so glad she's OK x

Oh congrats Florida! She's beautiful. What a perfectly tiny little rainbow!

 

[SweetV]

How are you doing Florida? How is princess?

 

[floridamomma]

Was readmitted to hospital because bp was uncontrolled. It's much better on a med change the pulse is now about 120. Battling anxiety and probably a little depression too. It's been a rough month. Zuri seems to be doing really well though today she's had an off day. She's growing well and a steady weight. She is the sweetest little love. It's hard being at the nicu and trying to get back to our kids. Plus being in and out of the hospital he kids get worried. My poor babies. Bp looking much betterso can't wait until this is all over.

 

[SweetV]

Oh Florida! In a few weeks this will all seem a dream I hope. Glad to hear she is putting on weight and doing well. I know it can't be easy trying to juggle kids, baby and your health.

 

[confuzion]

Sounds like a stressful time Florida , thinking of you and your little Zuri. I'm so glad to hear she's doing well. Hope her mama is in tip top shape soon.

Florida- Congrats! Things will start to settle down soon hang in there. Glad she is here safely

I also had my 2nd rainbow baby! Bp was getting high and i had itching all over. So after a stressful few days of worrying about possible choleastasis my Midwives thought it would be better to try and naturally induce early. I was not ready! Thought I had at least a few more weeks as my DD came at 40+5.Well apparently my body was ready. After a membrane sweep at 38 weeks and 3 days and some homeopathic herbs I went into labor. It was fast and intense, the midwives almost didn't make it to my house. Somewhat scary. She is healthy at 6lbs 2oz. A very easy baby!

Started to have severe anxiety at about 3 days post partum. Probably a little PTSD from the birth and the stress of the end of the pregnancy. Very scary week! But took action fast and started medicine (for the first time in my life!). Starting to get my bearings and feel more like myself at day 7 pp. What a whirlwind but my family feels complete and we are smitten with our little angel A house full of my girls my poor DH!

Congrats newly!!! She's a beauty. I'm glad you did what was right for you and got some help to stay ahead of the PTSD. I was experiencing it pretty badly after everything that happened with the preeclampsia. I wasn't sleeping at all. But it's getting better as I do.

Quick update: baby Zuri is doing well in the nicu. It's been a wild ride and she's almost 2 weeks. Gaining lots of weight and doing well. I have been readmitted to deal with my lingering pre-e issues, but prayerful things are looking up.

 

[SweetV]

Wow Newly congrats! She is beautiful and what a beautiful name to match. I had PPD after the birth of my first and admitting and starting medication was the best thing to do. I hope you start to feel more yourself as you settle into your new normal.

Florida so happy to hear a good update. I hope the blood pressure issues settle down for you soon.

AFM - appointment yesterday went well. Have officially given my notice at work to be off the first week of February or down to three shifts and off Feb 19th as induction is scheduled February 26th. Less than 10 weeks to go. Started reorganizing baby clothes and now just need the crib but will have to wait until after the holidays as the house has exploded and will have the kids home for 2 weeks to make more of a mess.

Congrats Newly! She's a dolly.

Hope your bp issues settle down soon, Florida. I am still convinced I had pre-e with LO but my dr said I didn't based solely on the fact that it was my 3rd full term pg and it's usually a first time mom issue. (Never mind my elevated bp, the 15lb of water weight I put on in 5 weeks, the protein in my urine, and the fact that my feet were so swollen I couldn't even wear flipflops...) It took over a month after LO was born for the swelling in my feet to go down. FX it's not that long for you.

 

[blueblue]

Florida - glad Zuri is doing well, sorry to hear you have been re-admitted but hope you are feeling better soon. Glad the PTSD is getting better. I didn't sleep after Ellie was born, I think it may have been that, I kept waking up feeling like I couldn't breathe, then remembered I'd had a tube in my throat from the general anesthetic and it must have been that x

Newly - congratulations! She's beautiful! Glad it was an easy and quick birth after a stressful start. Hope everything continues to get better with the PTSD. Bless your husband for being outnumbered by beautiful girls! x

Sweet - glad your appointment went well, not long to go now! x

Have a wonderful Christmas ladies x

Congrats newly.x

 

[confuzion]

Congrats newly! Glad you got help for your anxiety.

Florida hope all is well. I keep checking in for more updates.

Sweet - wow third tri already! Glad to hear all is well. 10 weeks will fly!

AFM, my first appointment will FINALLY be upcoming Wednesday. I have never waited so long for an ultrasound. Time has been dragging.

 

[confuzion]

Was getting excited that wait until my appointment was almost over but it's looking like I'm not going to make it to my appointment and that loss #5 is upon me.

Had brown spotting for a little while today. Which was then followed by red when I wiped. Then nickel sized clot. I'm pretty upset and just feeling like things are never going to be easy for me.

Will call the center tomorrow see if they will see me earlier or refer me for an ultrasound if I don't start cramping and full on bleeding by then.

Oh my gosh. Confuzion I'm so very sorry. Not fair after all you've been through.
