TTC and Beyond!

Nikki- What is the two hour rule?

my doc told me about it...your baby should never be awake for more then 2 consecutive hours until they r older (like 6 months). If they r awake longer they will get over tired and it will cause sleep problems.

baby alia! 4 months old!

I just stopped bleeding at 3 weeks post partum. I only had a 1st degree tear of my left labia, I didn't tear backwards at all. I was lucky BUT. Definitely not healed yet! When I sit there's a ton of pressure if I sit the wrong way and the stiches are ITCHY as HELL!! Its died down the past could of days but i wipe with witch hazel pads when it's really bad. There's a little spot where there's a stitch dangling and I'm scared if I pull it my whole labia will fall off!!

I also noticed a weird feeling when I stop peeing, either mid stream or when I'm done. I was gonna ask the doc about that if I didn't go away by my 6 week appt.

If you had a catheter for any reason during labor and delivery, that's probably causing that weird feeling. I had weird feelings due to my catheter for a few weeks pp and it's normal.

Bottom is today. FMU wasn't any darker but SMU was so looks like SMU is best for me!

I've tossed and turned all night. I'm so scared of losing this baby too. I think I'll relax a bit more after seeing the Doctor. I'm going to mention baby aspirin and progesterone supplements to him. I need to get the ball rolling and fast!

Awesome bb! Good luck. Don't walk out of the doc office without answers and a clear agenda or plan.

sandy- what time zone are u? ...so I know when to start getting on bnb constantly to hear gender? I think boy.

Ahh what cute baby pics girls.
Bb do your own research on aspirin. It isnt medically proven to stop a mc but, many women have found that taking it after multiple mc has resulted in a normal pregnancy. The thing is you need to be taking it now as it makes the uterus perfect for implantation.
I was never told to take it but my consultant also practices all sorts of wacky non medical methods and mentioned taking it but he did say he wasnt officially prescribing it. Most drs will say not to take it.

Balled my eyes out reading this but it is a lovely ending

Bb- you can take the baby aspirin and it won't hurt anything. I took it with Evan after my loses.

I'm in the Eastern time zone. It's 7:15 here. Two hours! I think boy, too. Hubby says girl.

Sandy how exciting!

I got hold of my consultants secretary. He isn't in until Monday. She said to go to my GP, see what he says and ring them back. I've got an appointment with my GP at 3.30pm.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yay can't wait to hear how your appointment goes.

 

[Disneybaby26]

So exciting Sandy!!! Can't wait to hear!!

Makayla will not nap anywhere but being held/in the ktan...she sleeps amazingly at night though...thoughts?

 

[wavescrash]

It's normal honestly - fourth trimester lasts the first 3 months of their life. They basically need/want to be held and comforted all the time. I'm always holding Leah unless she's napping in her swing or sleeping at night.

Well, went to my appointment this morning. My I had protein in my urine (+1). However, for the first time in WEEKS, my Blood pressure was normal at 110/78. So my doctor said they were not concerned and it could just be dehydration ( I had 10 glasses of water yesterday). It was the first time it's ever happened. She said she could have me do a 24 hour urine collection, but becasue I'm not having any other symptoms and no high BP, she felt that was too much.

She said if i didn't have ANY other fluid leaks, it was probably discharge or urine the other night. I have to say at this point, I have to agree. I haven't had so much as a drop of anything since then.

She felt around and I asked if she could tell how Harper was positioned. She is JUST as I thought. Head down, bum straight up under my stomach, and her legs and feet are over on my right side under my ribs. I'm glad to know for the time being she's not breech! one less thing to worry about!

Happy Friday ladies!
