Pregnancy after our preemies support thread!

Hey Amy ;) when is your due date hunny?

Due 2nd may Hun :)

Had my 2nd shot of steroids yesterday should baby chose to come as early as miss connie did the its sorted from that POV

Had a scan on Monday too and my cervix was still a good length 3.4 without cerclage :) connie was stitched at 19 weeks with a length of 1.9 so fab news :)

Xx
 
Amy and Sam - awesome news!
Mizz - I hear you on the hubby being sick. Mine has been throwing up and having diarrhea since yesterday and doesn't do well when he's sick.
Buttonnose - fingers crossed.

Hi to everyone else! As I mentioned above husband is now sick. I hope I don't get what everyone has. I'm feeling nauseous but that's been the case for a few weeks now. I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. I hope everything is going ok in there.
 
Max that wasn't my hubby :) lol but I am getting sick now sneezing all day with super sore throat and stuffy nose :(
 
bit paranoid about the whole whooping cough thing as me Matthew and Daniel all have a bad cough Daniel for over 2 weeks and its like a coughing fit once it kicks in, the boys should be ok as both immunised (Daniel only about 6 weeks ago tho) ill not immune I don't think I got the MMR when younger like mentioned about due to 'fear mongering' think lll try get GP appt just to be safe xx
 
Max it's okay! I'm having preggo brain too lol :)

Have my appt today to go over platelet results (already know outcome as had this blood disorder with other two pregnancies), blood pressure check and talk about my pre eclampsia, and last but not least CL!! :D I'm feeling optimistic and hoping no more funneling has occurred as I'm not qualified for cerclauge (as of now) wish me the best ladies!

I hope everyone else is doing decent enough
 
My dog is sick now! Vomiting and diarrhea. Just dropped him at the vet for an overnight stay the poor thing.
 
So I had my appt yesterday and got to find babys hb with the doppler. My doctor is so cool :) Anywho, he basically said that they will be monitoring me very closely still, especially the pre eclampsia stuff and told me that he will be sending me to their fmf specialist. Next week is my CL appt where he will check it and measure. He also wants to do another ultrasound of baby, I think to check measurements and stuff again. He said, he is worried because I keep checking things off his worry list as tme goes on. Like its a gradual thing lol I have to do the 24 hr urine jug thing again. the lab tech was like, wow you are a pro at this now! lol All in all, I am feeling optimistic still because my platelets are still high enough for me to continue my progesterone shots until 36 weeks... But I will have more bruising and stuff which I don't mind. *when platelets are low, you are more prone to bruises and stuff). And my bp has been stable still, and my pressure pains have been less frequent since being on bed rest... I am told to remain on strict bed rest until delivery which I figured lol I still can't lift up my munchkin but its okay. oh and since I have the blood disorder again, he is not worried about DVT or blood clots. I sure could do without getting GD again!! I know I have pre e again, but I pray I don't get GD again!

His current goal for me is to make it to 28 weeks, then 32, and so on. I know I will make it to 36 weeks at least! I feel the positive vibes! :) Cant wait til appt next week to check cervix and baby. Oh and Im looking forward to the appt with the fmf specialist as well. I already know which hospitals I will be transferred to just in case things become worse later on, and they are both great hospitals.

You ladies have a great weekend! :D
 
@mizzpod its good your dr is supportive
As for me it looks like pre eclamsia is back, wont get the confirmation till later this week, after my 24 hour urine collection and various blood test, im so upset about it as i know the implication of pre e all to well.
 
I wish you didn't! So much for us wanting to skip it this time. I have my GD test in a few weeks and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I don't want to be on insulin again :(

You and your lil mama are in my prayers :hugs: hang in there, you are so close to full term girl... Almost to 30 weeks!!! :hugs:

Sorry you may have been hit with pre-e again. I will keep my fingers crossed they can control it with meds or you can hang on for another few weeks at least xx
 
I'm a little on edge this morning. Just stupid stuff. So my sperm donor abandoned my brothers and i a year ago and doesn't speak to us. Unfortunately some of my important mail goes to his address from when I lived there when I was 18... Instead of forwarding the mail, they ignore it which is so damn immature. I'm supposed to remain stress free as possible but I'm starring to lose that because I need these documents for taxes and other stuff. My hubby said he is sending a email asking for this stuff and then I will do an address change so this does not have to happen anymore. I hardly vent to anyone and being on bedrest I don't have anyone to talk to really. So when I try to get this stuff of my chest my mom doesn't have time she says to listen. I always listen to my family members problems and the one time I need to talk about it I get shut down. I have so much suppressed and its starting to unhinge because I never have an outlet. Wooh! Okay this felt kinda nice typing this out! Sorry for the rant lol

I'm currently doing the 24 hr again becuz doc wants to see if pre e is getting worse or staying mild. Have important appt tomorrow for length check and possibly ultrasound to check on baby growth. I'm supposed to be going to a fmf specialist too sometime in the next few weeks. I'm just excited about my appt tomorrow. Ill update after the appt. it's so much going on but I am staying positive no matter what although at the moment it's very hard!
 
Oh and one more week til 24 weeks!! That's our recent goal, then on to 28 :D
 
@mizzpod sounds lkike your going through a lot right now. Try not to take on too much teh pregnancy is stressful enough and we are here :hugs: so post whatever is on your mind. Yeah for 1 more week till your first milestone. I hope your 24 hour stays stable funny enough im currently doing my 24 hour urine also. Best of luck to the both of us.
 
@25weeker how is Holy doing? As for M he recently started daycare to help with his language development he talks a lot more these days trying to imitate what we are saying, we still have far to go but what i have learnt with him is that he will do it in his own time.
 
Thanks Agiboma :)
Yeah days after losing my baby girl, my sperm donor was speaking very negative about me to my older brother and I have no reason why. He never called to check on me or anything. It was hard becuz he was one of the closet ppl in my life; daddy's girl. But now I'm good becuz I'm an adult and have no time for children games. That's his loss for pushing his kids away.... Anywho next subject lol
I hope we both do well! Ugh that 24 hr urine i tell you, gets old fast lol
