PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[wookie130]

Holy guacamole, Dairy!!!! That sounds hideous!!!! I am so glad that you and little Rodney are okay.

Yeah, I'm here, and I'm pregnant again. I actually am delivering this one via repeat planned c-section one month from today, at 38 weeks, due to my thin uterus. We've opted to stay on team green, and we're very excited!

Hope everything is ok for you TTC & there are no emergencies - I don't know very much about it, is that the itch? I see you're 35 weeks though so baby is good to come soon if needed.

Congratulations Wookie, I must have known you were pregnant too but had forgotten; how exciting that you only have a month to go!

ttc-It was NOT fun and it was a good thing I didn't see that dr again after the delivery because I'd likely have given him a piece of my mind. It was the worst labor and delivery I've ever had. Then afterwards, the drs and nurses kept giving me bad news about baby boy's sugar levels and we got transferred to the NICU. I was sleep deprived, sore and aching terribly from my delivery, going thru major hormone swings, pumping around the clock so my boobs hurt as much as my belly and bottom, and I was suddenly being shuttled off to a city hospital 1.5 hours from home where I'd be stuck without anyone else to help me for an unknown amount of time. I NEVER want to go thru that again. If we have more kids, I will have more monitoring at the end of my pregnancy and I am having a note put in my L&D notes from the dr that if I come in at a 4cm complaining of horrific pain, that 1. I'm to be admitted and given an epidural as soon as I request it, and 2. call the dr to come in ASAP because I go from 4cm to complete VERY fast. So fast that my babies are now being born without pushing...

And congrats on your LO's impending arrival! I know having cholestasis isn't the funnest thing to have happen but you'll be holding your little one sooner so it's not all bad, right? I'll be popping in for updates and I can't wait to hear that baby is here! And if your bubs ends up in the NICU due to coming a bit early, know that it's likely not going to be for long. We were there for nearly 3 weeks because Rodney's sugar levels wouldn't stabilize but in that time, we saw at least 3 preemie babies go home after just a few days to a week long stay.

Squig-Congratulations! I saw your hpts in your journal and those are some pretty good lines you got going on there.

Wookie-not long now for you too. We've not found out before delivery and I love it. Sometimes I wish I knew sooner but honestly, it's so fun to hear what your baby is at the end.

Wookie, congratulations! Didn't know this thread had updated as it didn't show up on my user cp.

Hope everyone is good. My rainbow is two now, where did the time go?! x

 

[ttc126]

Ah i never updated! Lol Ford arrived 10/10 and was 5lbs 11oz! He’s nearly 7 weeks now and growing like a weed!

 

[Squig34]

Congratulations TTC

Wookie, your baby must be here by now too?

I'm so sick at the moment. I'm sure it's worse than last time because I'm exhausted with a toddler who doesn't sleep well. I really hope it eases soon & doesn't last the whole pregnancy...

 

[blueblue]

Congratulations, TTC x

Squig, hope the sickness eases soon. It must be hard running around after a toddler soon. My friend is pregnant with twins, she has a toddler too, she said that the first trimester was awful this time around, but she's feeling much better now (in the second tri) x

 

[dairymomma]

Congrats TTC!

Squig-hopefully it gets better and you get more energy soon.

Wondering how Wookie is doing. I was just thinking of her the other day too.

 

[blueblue]

Wookie, any update on your new little one? x

 

[wookie130]

Haha, yes! I'm sorry!

Charlotte Ann was born on Nov. 3rd at 10:48 a.m., weighing 6 lbs, 3 oz.! She's now a month old, breastfeeds like a champ, and we're so in love with her!

 

[dairymomma]

Oh lovely update Wookie. Congrats on your new little girl! I love the name too. So sweet and girly.

 

[blueblue]

Congratulations, Wookie. Glad you are enjoying your new little rainbow x

 

[Squig34]

Congratulations Wookie! I love the name Charlotte.

Hello, just found out I'm pregnant after having two losses this year. I'm hopeful but still scared. Would love to have support from y'all!

 

[ttc126]

Happy!!!! Congratulations! I have followed your journal! Myself and many of the others on here are proof you CAN have a baby after multiple losses.

I just delivered my little boy in Oct after having a chemical pregnancy and 3 miscarriages and then struggling to get pregnant. No medical reason was found for my losses and i just relied heavily on support here and in real life to make it through.

Hugs to you!

 

[Squig34]

Good luck this time ohhappy- do you have any reason for your losses or are you on a treatment plan or anything?

I had 6 losses then a rainbow & am now 13+2. There is certainly lots of hope.

 

[dairymomma]

OhhappyZ-welcome! We're glad you found this thread. I am one of the success stories too. (Well, recurrent success stories to be perfectly honest.) I just had my 4th rainbow baby in September after 11 losses and 3 successful term pregnancies. We've discovered I have a gene mutation that makes me chronically folate deficient, I have clotting issues, and my progesterone levels don't rise as much as they should. I've worked with a hematologist, a specialist/high risk OB, and a naturopath to get my answers.

 

[OhHappyZ]

Ya, well I had my first MC last January, then another in May. I had surgery in August to remove a cyst from my ovary and they found and got rid of endometriosis. So this is my first pregnancy since having the endo cleared out. I'm really hopeful that this one will stick. Just got my beta's done yesterday at 16DPO, and my progesterone was 21 and my HCG was 2164. Going back Monday to get them done again. I'm on a progesterone suppository and a baby asprin just in case, and now that I have had my levels done, they want me to stay on the progesterone. So happy with those numbers though!!

 

[dairymomma]

Those numbers are FAB! I've never had a beta that high until I'm into the 5th week and my progesterone is usually half of that.

 

[Squig34]

They sound like good numbers. When will you get today's results?
