Ttc #1 baby would love a buddy

Willow - when do you find out about your testing of cf?

smyleegrl - it's so good to hear from you so glad your baby girl is growing like a weed so exciting!

AFM - had a very scary few days. I started having large clots pass and cramping while at work. Went down to ER and my potassium and sodium levels were dangerously low. They started me on replacement but I had a small seizure while i was there. When I came back around they gave me an ultrasound and baby was ok thank god. She was in there wiggling around and had a nice strong heart beat. I swear I sobbed the hole time waiting for them to just say something was wrong with her. Once my levels got back up to normal, the headache's I've been having for weeks went away, and i felt so much better. I feel like such a moron that I never asked my doctor to check my electrolytes with being so sick all the time. (I had kind of been down playing my morning sickness to her.) So now I will get blood drawn every week. I just really hope it didn't hurt the baby at all

Glad u and baby girl are ok! That's very scary, glad it was something they cld fix and quickly!

 

[mama10893]

oh my gosh swimmy so scary!!! so glad you're both okay!!

smylee: thanks for the update how far along are you now?! you're naming her Laikyn? i love that

 

[mama10893]

willow when do you find out more about the cyctic fiberosis thing?!

 

[swimmyj1]

ugh more scary stuff for me. My fluid levels were low, I have to go in for a repeat scan next week and see if they improved. I was like ok so I increase water I can do that. But this doctor (not my usual doc) came in to talk to me and was very scary about it. He just walked in and said drink more or your baby will crush the cord and die, so unless you don't want this kid drink even when your sick. I was a little shocked at his brashness. I'm all for telling patients the truth but I also think there is a way to say things.

I can't really feel her move a lot so idk if shes ok or not, but now im freaking out that I'm gonna go back in 9 days and she will be dead.

 

[mama10893]

omg swimmy😢 i am sure everything will be okay! i can't believe the doctor put it like that...like does he honestly think you don't want the baby? does he know what you've gone through to get to this point?! UGH that makes me so mad! but good luck, drink lots of water and get some rest and im sure little girl will be okay❤️

 

[mama10893]

Oh AFM...still no AF hoping she shows up in the beginning of april, so next week prob! this month has just dragged because i cant wait to start the clomid! i just have such a great feeling about it, and i want to start now! lol will keep everyone posted about it☺️

 

[swimmyj1]

mama i really hope you start soon! not fair she didn't show up when you wanted her to!! ugh!

My regular OB called me today, and apologized a million times for what he said to me. She said if they were worried that much they would have admitted me to a hospital. My levels were above 5 and anything under that is critical. So hopefully its just from me not drinking enough. I'm not gonna like im still worried and this week is gonna drag on but gonna try and stay positive.

 

[smyleegrl324]
