TTC and Beyond!

Hi ladies, thanks for all the good thoughts. Sorry for the delay in response. I don't get any wifi or cell service in our ER and I was sooo tired and doped up by the time we got home. They gave me vicodin because of the pain and it didn't help, My uterus felt like it was on fire. worst feeling in the world. We weren't able to see a gestational sac and my uterine lining was thinner than it was from my scan last week. My Hcg had gone down from yesterday, it was at 1980 last night. I have another draw today and I'm still bleeding really heavily and cramping. At work but I'm not sure if I can last all day. The on call OB last night said to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
 
Amanda- I think you should be in bed girlie, get out of work asap :/ What are they doing for follow-up, just waiting to see what happens? Sending so much love. <3
 
I have follow up bloods today and tomorrow, US Thursday. I wish I could take today off, so much to do at work. trying to get as much done as possible so I can leave early.
 
Amanda praying all is ok for you. You should def be resting though.
Rachel great news.
Morgan sorry about the sickness. It is the worst. Try and sleep it off .

Just back from scan and all is well.
 
I'm really hoping my milk supply picks up soon. This is getting old. Hoping once I get out of here and can eat regular food, it will increase.
 
Amanda hugs sent your way.
Morgan I hope you feel better soon.
Rachel that is awesome news and I'm sure being at home will help the supply.
 
Have you been staying at the hospital, or are you getting a chance to go home? I can't wait for you all to get discharged! Can't even imagine how you are feeling. I'm sure having a normal routine and being the comfort of your own home will help your supply a lot.
 
Amanda-I'm sorry you are in so much pain. That's a horrible place to be in (preparing for the worst but hoping for the best). FX'd for you!...Get home soon so you can rest!

Sarah-The funny thing is that MIL is retired and has been for a few years now. She acts like she has all this stuff to do, but she doesn't! She plays mahjong with her retired jewish friends and goes to Goodwill shopping for baby things I've told her to stop buying...She was worried about being tied down 2 days a week, but now she's willing to be tied down for 5?! I can't handle her!
LOL about your husband...what is he thinking getting drunk when you are so close to having that baby! He better thank his lucky stars you didn't go into labor last night or he'd never live that one down!

Morgan-Boo for the MS and being sick...You should probably stay home and get some rest! I forget what the doc told me to take for my stuffiness...benedryl maybe? Idk. I think I'm going to have to start taking my allergy meds though, spring is bringing on some allergies. I'm scared it might interfere with my milk production when babies get here though...
Nope, no labor signs yet! I have bh frequently, but nothing painful or consistent. I have noticed a little bit of pressure the last day or two, but it's only there for a few min then goes away. No NSTs either. She checked my cervix last week and it was closed with no pressure, so she's not worried right now. We have an apt on Mon and after that we start every week. Not sure how often they will check me or monitor things besides bp and hb. I'm amazed my body can still hold these babies in there with how heavy they are!

Katrina-I doubt it's early AF. It looks like you had a slight dip last month around the same time. If you aren't preggo this month, I won't be surprised if it happens in the next few months...so excited for you!
Your charts remind me a lot of mine, except I think you have a better luteal phase than I did. All it took was clomid for me, so I'm sure your time is coming soon :)
 
Yay for getting some sleep Rachel and Nikki!

Rachel-So glad you guys should be going home this week! Sounds like she's doing really well :)
 
Amanda - Good luck dear <3 Thinking of you!

Morgan - Hope you feel better soon!


AFM - I don't know what I've posted lately but Leah's strictly formula/bottle-fed and I'm feeling a lot better about that but I still have such anxiety in general. I should probably get in with my regular doctor and see if there's anything I can do/take for it.

Currently I'm paranoid that Leah's sleeping too much. A lot of girls in my due date group have said their babies are awake for 2 hour stretches whereas Leah just sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. She wakes up to eat roughly every 4 hours (sometimes 3.5, last night she went 5 hours between feedings once) and since she's bottle-fed, it doesn't take as long as if we were breastfeeding (maybe 20 min to finish a bottle... if that) and then she's awake for another 20-30 minutes after eating. If she stays up much longer than that, she gets fussy because she's tired and wants to go back to sleep. She doesn't look jaundice which I know can cause them to be very sleepy so I don't know if it's normal or what the deal is.

Hannah's doing better with her but is still a total brat otherwise, refusing to listen and disobeying intentionally but that's part of the terrible two's, unfortunately.
 
Yes we have stayed every night. I stay all day too but I've been trying to leave once a day to get out. Even if it's just going to the store. Omg I'm such a need that I went to tidy up my hospital room for her "homecoming" tonight lol
 
I bet you will love her mini homecoming.
Amanda waves I'm glad your less anxious now.
 
Amanda (RR) - I am SO sorry you are in pain!! I am thinking the BEST for you!!

Rachel - So cute about her "homecoming!" =]

Waves- I know nothing about newborns, but I think they sleep A LOT. That's the hard thing about talking with other mom's in a large group. Some babies are bound to be different than others, but I wouldn't think there is anything wrong with sleeping too much!
 
Rachel- So exciting that Ellie will be coming home soon. It's about time! So so happy for your fam :)

Amanda :hugs: :hugs: I am so sorry you're having to deal and worry about this hun. I hope with everything I have that your lil bean is okay. So glad baby daddy met you at the hospital and is being supportive <3 I hope you get done with work quickly and can go home and rest.
 
Rachel- soooo awesome!!!! Hope your milk supply increases when you can really take charge of your eating and Ellie's.

Amanda- I am hoping for the best. Sorry you have to go through this.
 
Rachel - So excited for you! I bet it will be so nice to have baby girl in the comfort of your own home at last!

Amanda- Have my fingers crossed so tight for you! So sorry you're going through this :(

AFM- Just found out that my uncle's wife (the loser drug addict one that already has 6 kids, lost one and is due the same week as me) had a sono today and they were wrong! She's having a boy! Good for me because I didn't want her to have a girl, but makes me worry about the baby considering last time she found out she was having a boy she started smoking and doing drugs and he didn't make it.
 
Rach- I know they make mother's milk tea and supplements.. may be worth a try? Ask doc I'm sure they'd know best.

Oh and I don't know if you have time to talk lol... but I want to hear about post-baby vag whenever you get a chance!! Lol. Any grazes/tears? Is there really a ring of fire?? Lol

Ashlee- That is disgustingly awful.... urgh I don't know why ppl like that are allowed to grow babies.
