Pregnant & TTC After A Preemie 2/21/14

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:

haziedaze: Contractions are a bit stronger, but cervix still long and closed. Has polyhydramnios which could be contributing to the contractions; will be starting weekly NSTs; has reached her last pregnancy milestone! Woohoo!

flergirl: lots of swelling in hands and feet, but trying not to read to much into it! Started feeling baby movements!

Bluebird2318: was able to change OB, but appt not until March 5; had minor swelling that went down eventually and BP slightly higher but still in normal range; 31 weeks!

mrsdbc: having a closer watch on BP since it's slightly higher; 17P reactions are getting a little tougher to deal with-hang in there!

rslhmg: fluid levels are staying up and drinking 150oz every hour-practically living in the bathroom ;)

    Still going strong toward 32 weeks! Picked up a home blood pressure monitor to keep my mind at ease over the next few weeks and it's been a great purchase so far! 111/74 and 97/69 were my two measurements today. :)

    Everything is still good. :) I am curious if any of you had "nicu nightmares" the closer you got to your pregnancy milestones? I made it to 32 wks with DD1 and the closer I get the more I have these horrible dreams about being back in the nicu. I'm trying to add counseling back into my already crazy schedule to see if that helps since they are starting to affect my sleep. DD1 starts twice a week toddler gymnastics classes next week, but thankfully MIL has offered to take her to at least one class so I'm not totally run ragged. (DD1's 2 classes, my weekly ob appointment, and counseling as soon as I can get back in, gonna start being super busy weeks the last trimester!)

    @rslhmg It wasn't quite about the NICU, but I did have a nightmare in which my water broke and I was happy at first because in my dream I was thinking I was full term, but somewhere along the way I realized that I was only 29 weeks or so (which is when DD was born). Thankfully I've had nothing like that since; it was terrible.

    @mrsdbc I totally understand! We, fortunately, are having another girl and I never got around to getting rid of anything of DD1's, so they only thing I really had to get ready was my hospital bag and a bag for DD2. Put both together and by the door, just in case, though there have been a few people who think I'm either nuts or going to jinx myself by having them ready so early, but no way in heck am I going to the hospital with just the clothes on my back this time around. DH has yet to get anything together for his bag, he's totally calm and not in the least panicked about another possible early delivery, drives me a little nuts lol.

    @bluebird2318 that's terrifying! I just keep dreaming that one or both girls are in the hospital, and somehow in the dreams dd1 is always a newborn again. It's like I'm dreaming about our worst days in the nicu with DD1, and occasionally dd2 is there on all the monitors too. I wake up and absolutely have to check that DD1 is actually in her bed, and poke and jiggle my belly to get DD2 moving, just so I can have peace of mind they are both ok so I can go back to sleep.

    @rslhmg Those dreams sound terrifying! I totally understand the worry. My DD is the same age as yours (actually, looking at your ticker it seems that mine is exactly 1 day older in actual age!) and I still find myself checking on her in bed every single night before I go to sleep. I've also been a belly poker/jiggler with DS this time around.

    I didn't really have nightmares, but the whole time I was on bedrest, I felt like I was going nutty. Every weekly milestone, I kept thinking "Well, this is probably as far as I'll go cause I am just not that lucky." Luckily, I have a very supportive husband who balanced out my crazy.

    Even if I was 10 years younger and wanted more kids, that last pregnancy definitely put me on the two and through mindset. I have no desire to be pregnant ever again! lol!

    25 weeks today! Next Wednesday I will be as far along with this one as with DS.... yikes! Saw the MFM on Tuesday and he thinks there is a very low chance that I will deliver this one so early, so hooray for that news! Otherwise everything looks good with me!





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.

    @bluebrd2318 I just noticed that, your lo is exactly 1 day older actual, that's pretty neat! (I usually bump mobile because DD has me on the go so I rarely ever see siggys)
    @punky917, we were one and done until my birth control failed. Definitely 2 and through, they wouldn't agree to a tubal after DD because I was only 24, but they agreed this time around so we are definitely done. We have 4 kids between DH's boys and our girls, even if everything had gone perfectly I couldn't imagine adding number 5 lol. It's already a madhouse around here with 3 and one on the way!
    @flerlgirl that is awesome news!

    Yay @flerlgirl! That's awesome. :) It's always nice to have our hopes justified a bit by the professionals. My MFM told me something similar and she has been right so far -- tomorrow I'll be 3 weeks past when DD was born. We had similar issues the first time around it seems. You'll make it!

    I've been MIA lately but YAY babies... you are all doing an amazing job!!! I often wonder if I will have nightmares when I get pregnant again so it is really interesting to read what you all have to say!

    Our update is that we have a pre-conception consultation with an MFM on 3/18. We are going to run a 10 mile race together at the beginning of may and then I will get my IUD out and wait a cycle before we start trying. So it looks like June or July we will start TTC.  I'm excited and nervous even thinking about it! Work has been crazy so I haven't been on here much but I am lurking and checking on everyone!!
