.::Pregnant ladies who are high risk and due in 2016/17! [ 13 BABIES ]::.

Try and enjoy the sunshine jkel, I hope you manage to relax and have some fun family time.

Jox what pram did you go for/ Exciting!

I am being admitted early next week until babies arrival. Only 2 weeks to go now and I think we are about ready. Ish!!
 
My feet are like balloons dreading
The trip home
 
Hey ladies how are you all doing? 2 weeks and 6 days till I'm where I was when my first was born. Really really nervouse.

I have a question for you ladies, can they stop labor if it starts early again?
 
Hi kiwi, must be worrying. I think they can stop it but only if it's at a certain point. Once that point is passed I don't think they can. Hopefully it won't matter Hun and this one stays cooking for a lot longer yet!!

Jkel, hope uve had a nice holiday X

All fine here. Growth scans start next week xx
 
I was not able to get my progesterone shot today because I'm in limbo with my insurance company. They were supposed to switch me to a different provider for prescriptions but they haven't contacted me yet. I contacted the head nurse and left a message on her voicemail. She is out of the office today and they're closed on the weekends. They said it was a time-sensitive injection so I hope waiting an extra 4 to 5 days is going to be ok. If the nurse gets back to me on Monday we might be able to work with a compounding pharmacy. She said I could probably get a month worth of injections for $100 instead of $3,000 which is what they normally are.

Should I be worried for getting the shot late?
 
I don't know anything about the injections Hun but I hope u was able to get it sorted xx
 
Jox, thanks hun.

Jkel, I hope you are okay hun. What is wrong?

Still have not had my progesterone shot. The nurse called the prescription in at the pharmacy but they still haven't contacted me for payment or shipping. I guess I'm just going to have to make a few phone calls today. The nurse said as long as I'm feeling okay it should be alright to skip a week of shots.

How are the rest of you ladies doing? Been pretty quiet in here.
 
Well started as my asthma ended in PROM 😢
On strict bedrest Ffn came back negative so my body isn't ready for labour thank god. Seems on antibiotics and a close eye they can keep baby inside quite awhile after prom ( premature rupture of membranes)
 
Oh goodness jkel, sorry to hear this. Stay put little one x
 
jkel - Oh my gosh I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope your LO stays put for as long as possible!

Kiwi - did you get the shot figured out? I'm not sure the effects of not getting it on time but wishing you all the best.

AFM - I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. This happened last Thursday and I was/am super bummed about it. I've gotten better since finding out but I was an emotional wreck all day on Thursday and Friday. I just thought that I did something wrong, that my babies were going to be unhealthy and have a ton of problems, I was bummed that I couldn't just enjoy the pregnancy and eat what I wanted. It felt at the time like the world had come crashing down. It also didn't help that I was out of town and not eating my normal diet. And where my parents live it's very hard to get organic healthy options so that was also adding to the stress. Now that hubby and I are home my levels are doing great. My blood sugar didn't get over 107 yesterday and they like it to be 120 or under (I even had a cookie!,and berries with homemade whipped cream!). We eat fairly healthy as it is so there's not much of a diet change I need to do but like I said, I was just really bummed about it. No more churros for me. :cry: But of course I'll do anything so that these babies have the best start to their life.

On a happy note, I'm feeling them move all the time which I LOVE! It really is amazing to know that my body is nurturing and growing these two human beings. I love them very much, it's incredible. I had a baby shower while I was in NJ visiting my parents and I'm having another one tomorrow with friends where I live in CA. I'm excited to see everyone. Plus one of my friends had a baby a month and a half ago and she's bringing her baby boy and I'm am thrilled to be seeing him! I've seen pictures and he is very cute.

MrsW - I hope everything is going well with you! You may be busy with your baby already but I hope you can update us soon.
 
Ash :hugs:, that really sucks sweetie and I just found out I'm in the exact same boat as you now :-(.

So I just received my blood results from the GD test earlier today. They are not good :-(. I did not pass and I found out that I am anemic as well. They want to do another test this coming Wednesday for 3 hours instead of 1 hour and I'm supposed to start taking iron supplements now.
 
How are you ladies doing and your babies?
 
Hi everyone. Mind if I join?

A little about me. I have a healthy 4 year old DD who was born at 37 weeks with no issues. Fast forward to my second pregnancy last year, found out I was expecting twins, I was nervous but excited. Everything seemed to be going great until it wasn't. At 20 weeks I found out my cervix was completely effaced. They don't do a cervical stitch in the event of twins. I ended up being dilated to a 3 and going in to labor at 21 weeks. My beautiful babies were born. They were perfect, but it was just too soon. They aren't really sure if I have a true incompetent cervix or if it was just a "twin thing". I will be high risk this pregnancy and will have a cerclage placed at 12 weeks. I will also be getting weekly progesterone shots starting at 16 weeks.

Just had my first scan this morning. Measuring at 6 weeks 3 days, heart rate of 124 :) My due date will be March 25th.

Feeling a small victory today as this was step one. Now on to the many more steps that will be fast approaching.
 
Baby brain I posted in wrong thread😳😢
How we all doing ? My community midwife as decided me seeing her is pointless because I am at hospital twice a week.
My gp is being awkward and won't put my morphine on repeat until baby is born nor will he send me to pain clinic ... So I have to see him every 28 days to review my pain levels he as added codeine in as and when I need it so will try not to take it ...
How's everyone else
Sorry it's been so long my phone doesn't like this forum lol
 
Hi everyone. I'm having a hard time posting in forums right now as everywhere I go its all about the relief they will feel when first tri is over etc. I know i won't be getting that relief this time so I'm just kind of feeling stressed/on edge about the whole thing. My referral to my maternal fetal medicine specialist got sent yesterday so I am really hoping there won't be any issues with it being approved through insurance and I can get in and get my cerclage scheduled.
 
klabro - I have never experienced a loss at all but I can relate to how you're feeling through other means. It took my DH and I 5 1/2 years to conceive. We finally had success on our 5th IVF and although I never had a loss it took a toll on my enjoyment throughout the pregnancy. I don't have much advice but wanted to say that you're definitely not alone and I can totally understand why you would still feel protective of your emotions even coming out of first trimester. I'm in my 3rd trimester now and if I'm being honest, I still worry. I worry about cord issues, I worry about going into preterm labor, I worry about stillbirth. I mean the list goes on and on and unfortunately there is not much I've figured out to help me feel better except that once the baby starts to move that may provide you with some level of comfort. Just know that what you're feeling is normal and you are not alone. :hugs:
 
I had another check up this morning. Everything is going great with the baby, her heartbeat was 146 and my cervix is strong & closed! As for my GD, even with all the dieting restrictions and following all of what the nutritionist told me it still might not be enough. She talked about giving me insulin. They are going to wait a week and if it still doesn't look good they're going to start me on an oral medication first because of my low vision she doesn't want me to accidentally inject myself with too much insulin. I'm struggling with it because I've been working so hard the past week trying to keep my blood sugar's low and following a strict diet even despite my picky eating. I'm willing to do anything it takes to make sure that my baby is happy and healthy when she's born.
