Last week Updates:
Congratulations to CurlingRocks who gave birth to a healthy and full term baby girl!
ShannonSky: found out she was having triplets, but one of them had low heart rate; she later announced that she lost one of her babies who had the low heart rate so she is now expecting twins; still very optimistic about healthy pregnancy since she was able to do it with her second. We are all praying and sending positive vibes for the rest of your pregnancy to be uneventful and full term!
hjweber: admitted and on medication for shortened cervix and funneling, but not feeling any contractions; went home later in the week and US showed no more cervical shortening and funneling was not as pronounced; continues to take Procardia and now on bed rest at home. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that LO stays put for much longer!
alphaphi98: 18 weeks pregnant and just found out they are having a boy! Still debating whether or not to take P17 shots-doc is not too concerned about going early again with this pregnancy
PhillyGal34: Was not going to TTC for another 9 months, but she and DH are having baby fever! Wouldn't mind waiting another year for $$ reasons and also trying to lose weight and get healthy before TTC journey
airsica: currently 29w4d and has surpassed previous gestational period of when she had her twin daughters! Officially on extended maternity leave and creating a new nursery with a Dr. Seuss theme for her little guy!
***I would just like to add that it would be nice to hear from everyone on a more consistent basis even if there is no news to share. We would all love to hear that everyone is doing well! So, just for fun, I am adding a QOTW***

Re: Pregnant & TTC After a Preemie Check In 9/27/13
My little bean continues to cook. I'm almost 28 wks & feel like maybe (just maybe) I can stop holding my breath. Looking forward to hitting the 30 wk milestone. Then, I'll be aiming for 34 wks.
Fav TV Show: Project Runway (HELLO Designers!)
I think we are thinking about starting to TTC early next year. We have 12 month old twins (tomorrow
they are growing too quick) that arrived early due too Pre-E with HELLP and I think there was some IUGR. I think I'm going to seek out a high risk doc to talk to about a future pregnancy and the risks to expect. I'm really sad that my MW dreams have been crushed now that I'd be likely labeled HR. I'm hoping that we can have a FT baby next time!! So nervous.
@megs2011 Welcome to the group! I will add you to the list. I understand your concerns, but I hope that an MFM will give you comfort and look at you more closely to better chances of having full term pregnancy.
My favorite shows are Grey's Anatomy and Glee, but missed the series premieres of both due just from being so busy with LO. So if anyone can fill me in, that would be great! :-)
