U.S. Mommies To Be

[southerngal2]

Dr just called me.
She said to drink a lot of water. She said "Drink it until you feel like you're gonna pop!"
I've got another ultrasound for next week. She said that if my levels get lower then they may put me on bed rest. If they get under 5, then she will admit me to the hospital.

I also have to see a Maternal Fetal Dr. That is scheduled for May 2.
Not sure what they will do. I've never even heard of a Maternal Fetal Dr!

I'm so glad they are keeping a close eye on it. I'll be thinking of you. Big Hugs.

Southern Im glad everything is ok at this point

I have no clue what a Maternal Dr is but at least they are going the extra mile for the health of lo

MissFox how is Serenity? Do you get a decent amount of sleep? Are you breastfeeding if so any tips?


OH is leaving on sunday and I wont see him again till July 21 dont really know how I feel about it bc there is nothing I can do to keep him here

I think a Maternal Doc is a perinatologist. I'm "advanced maternal age" and have a single umbilical artery, so I have all of my scans with a perinatologist, and the office is called Maternal and Fetal Health. Good luck

Rosie is doing great! She's a little piggy lol. I am breastfeeding and the biggest help for me was the nurses in the hospital helping with the latch. Also learning positions to feed while laying down has been really beneficial. Breastfeeding has been the easiest part ofthe whole thing for me! I just got out of the ER a couple hrs ago bc my incision was bleeding but its an old blood clot coming through and I have a bladder infection

 

[southerngal2]

Thanks ladies!

2ndtimeround- Have you been to the Dr. yet?

JNA- Is he going to be there when the baby comes?

MissFox- Glad to hear Rosie is doing good.
Sorry to hear about your ER trip. Sending a prayer your way for a speedy recovery.

Southerngal, I have been to the ER 4 times and had an exam done by the doctor once. My original scan at 5+0 (may have been more like 4+0) only showed a lining, so since then, the doctor has just had me going for HCG quants every few days. He knows that I have an inverted uterus and this could cause difficulty in finding anything in the first few weeks! The only reason he wanted me in his office is because he thought I was having an ectopic. Really unsatisfied with him right now and in search of a new doctor. He's being very lackluster with my care as if he doesn't believe I'll get out of my 2nd month, much less full term! But, I am believing for our family that all is well and in December we will be holding a new bundle!

Oh yeah.
Now I remember from the Prayer Thread!

And yes, in December you will be holding that beautiful baby!

 

[2ndtimeround]

Thanks. Just got a call from the doc's office. HCG went up to 7300!!! Not quite doubled, but only 400 shy from doubling! He wants me to go in for a scan in a few hours. Can't wait to see the little heart beat!

 

[southerngal2]

That's good news!
Seeing the heart beat is so exciting!

I'm so glad breastfeeding is going so well for you. I had one heck of a time with my first and stopped because I had no help and just couldn't do it. With my 2nd I read EVERYTHING I could and was determined and with my 3rd it was much easier. I can't wait to breastfeed my newest baby girl.

That is a great number! My HCG didn't double, even with twins, so I think yours sounds right on. I'm sure you'll see a lovely heartbeat soon.



Did I mention how excited I am since my ticker baby turned upside down, lol... I know, it's the little things that make me smile.

 

[JNA]

2nd: Sorry your having such a tough time right now. I will keep you in my prayers! Good luck with your scan

Southern: No OH will not be present for the birth He wont even see her until shes about 6 weeks. We have been fighting since Nov to have him home the week before my dude date and the week after but no luck. The fact that we arent married doesn't help.

MissFox: Im glad that you and Rosie are getting along well. Hopefully your c-section scar wont give you anymore problems

 

[southerngal2]

Sorry JNA.

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Hugs, JNA.

AFM~My b/p was up at my appmt at 130/80, which is really high for me. They checked again and it was only at 100/58? Whatever. I asked about my urine just in case and they said it was good, so no worries, right. I swear though, if one more person tells me I need to not stress or reduce my stress and NOT give me a way I can do it then I'm going to slap them silly.

 

[2ndtimeround]

Thanks ladies. Lost the baby and my chances of natural conception. Still have you guys in my prayers.
