Pregnant & TTC After a Preemie Check In 10/04/13

punky917

Welcome to the check in group for Pregnant After Preemie! This group is also for those who are actively trying to conceive, planning on it, or just thinking about it...

So, list your first name, due date if you're pregnant or ttc timeline, preemie's name and gestational age at birth as well as the reason for their prematurity.

------------------------------------------------

Last week Updates:

vsalt31: just hit 28 weeks and next milestone would be 30 weeks! Glad to know that LO is staying put!

megs2011: joining the planning on TTC group; planning on starting TTC early next year

SweatPeaKate: 23 weeks and everything is good! blood pressure is stable and other labs are normal; U/S with MFM to recheck uterine arteries and fetal growth-how did that go?

ShannonSky: has made a goal of April 7th which would put her twins at 36 weeks; happy about her babies being due in spring instead of fall which would mean less worry about cold and flu season

MrsLaurenandDan: LO is a boy! After US, doc was worried about the size of brain ventricles so they have to wait a week and go back to find out more; If they are enlarged, she would most likely have a RCS before 38 weeks and NICU time; please keep her in your thoughts and prayers


***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***

QOTW: Team Green? Blue or Pink? Names?

How are our pregnant moms doing?

We aren't TTC yet but I'll answer the qotd anyway. We were team green first time and will find out most likely this time. Dh wanted to know the first time but allowed the surprise for me but he gets to pick this time.

Names will be a surprise when the baby is born. We already have a girl's name from last time. But we will need another boys name in case!

MinaE01

Hey! I'm doing well. 8 weeks and miserable, which is a good thing! Had a dating ultrasound on Thursday, and we were happy to see/hear a strong heart beat of 160. I measured one day ahead of where I thought, so new EDD is May 16th. OB said she'd be thrilled if I made it to May. I'm officially high-risk, and will make my first appt. with a high-risk OB around week 16 to start my Progesterone shots. Also, if I get anywhere near my due date, I will have a c/s due to a ridiculously small pelvis (It took 45 minutes and a small tear to deliver DS who was 4 lbs. 6 oz.!).

We will be Team Green again this time. It was a bright spot during labor with DS. I was absolutely shocked when they pulled him out and he was a boy. It was awesome!

vsalt31

Checking in.... Still hanging in there. Although, on Friday I was having contractions every 2 1/2 minutes for about 90 minutes. Last night, they were every 3 minutes. I never know when I should call or not. I feel like I would call everyday. I go in next on Thursday & I can't wait.
And we are team green again. Names this time around are SO HARD!!! Any suggestions?

danalawrence

Hi! May I join? TTCing, just had my IVF egg retrieval today. My twin girls were born in 2011 at 31w5d due to spontaneous labor (water broke)

SweetPeaKate

Just chugging along over here...

QOTW: We were team green with baby #1 because I was very adamant about not finding out and DH loved it so much that this time around he insists that we remain Team Green with #2. While I was a little bummed at first, I'm now remembering the excitement that comes with Green status.

Heather1979

Can I jump back in? Heather1979 pg with baby #3, im18 weeks 3days due 3/10/14.

Heather1979

And I'm waiting to hear from Mfm to schedule the big ultrasound to find out what team we are on. I've had some swelling in my head & rapid weight gain that ob thinks is water weight but I've had some drastic blood pressure fluctuations, so no meds yet. I have been discouraged from exercising & if I stick to 100oz of water a day I do notice I feel better & have less swelling. Fingers crossed that this is all I have to contend with!

Can I join? My water broke at 24 weeks and 2 days (pPROM). I'm now on 11th day in the hospital and expected to stay here until I reach 34 weeks. No contractions and LO is doing as well as can be expected. He's a great little fighter. He does have some fluid surrounding him so it's a good sign.

I passed my glucose test today and the next big test is on Oct 17th to check LO's growth.
