Good Vibes check in, 4/22

virginiaunicorn11

Any ladies facing extra challenges today or needing some extra good vibes today?  Maybe you are in a health care facility, cooking baby from bed, or reducing activity... maybe you have suffered some of life's curve balls, and could just use a place to share and get some support.

We are here to listen and lift you up.  And as always, obviously, feel free to start your own thread or comment on any other, if you prefer.  Sending you all big hugs.

Good news, I just got a voicemail from the nurse and I passed my 3 hour glucose test!

ETA: shameless confession, I was standing at a coworker's desk right after I got the voicemail and happened to see my name on a text she had sent so I read it. She was talking to her boyfriend and it said "Oh God Anna passed her glucose test, now she thinks she can eat whatever she wants". Ummm I never said that. She's constantly on some fad diet and cranky because she's hungry, but it really pisses me off.

Yay @KarasTwin! And you haven't had any more episodes of bleeding, right? Did that end up being a one day thing just before your shower? And yes, that chick is just jealous cause yes, you can eat whatever you want, you just choose to mostly eat healthy with a side of whatever you want. Go munch something yummy right in front of her. Take that, cranky diet lady

So far the bleeding was a one time episode, thanks for checking on me! I'm just shocked to see that she would say something like that. I thought we were friends. So maybe I shouldn't be so nosy, but I saw my name and I wanted to know what she was saying. I'm sorry that you want to lose weight and you're having a hard time, but I'm kinda growing a human here, so excuse me that I need a few extra calories.

Also sorry for my tutirade/hijacking of the thread, but I'm livid and I know ya'll will be supportive

Good morning ladies! Sorry I didn't get back over here last night to check in. Had my 32 week appointment yesterday and my bp was good, so the meds and laziness are doing their job! I've also randomly lost about eight pounds in the past week. So I treated myself to Chik-fil-a breakfast this morning! Spent some time on the NST and was told my fetus is a happy baby. I was so super nervous all day about this appointment so I was relieved it went well. Next week is a growth check at the MFM's office, so I'm excited to see my little nibblet again.

FANTASTIC!! Oh man, what great news!  Bet you feel like the weight of the world was temporarily lifted.  Here's hoping the good news continues.

Thanks @mellymar and @amark11! Especially with having a sinus headache yesterday to add to the paranoia, it was great to see a normal number!

the doctor said that we just have to make sure that the baby is born by the due date. 

makes me a little nervous, but keeping it positive.

Positivity is powerful, keep at it! Hope you stay feeling good and baby stays healthy. Sending you big healthy hugs!

Thought this may be the most appropriate place to post an update on my hospital bed rest saga.

If (1) LO continues being a rockstar and (2) my platelets don't go crazy low - they are 126 as of yesterday - then we are scheduled for a C-section on 5/7/15 at 3:00pm at 36w1d!! When we were admitted to the hospital at 29w5d the doctors didn't think we would make 32 weeks - now our plan is growth scan at 35w5d and if she keeps growing, deliver after 36 weeks! I am cautious to get too excited since my platelets have been dropping slowly but steadily, but at the same time we have passed the 34 week mark. And this news means I get to meet our baby girl in the next 2 weeks no matter what. 6 1/2 weeks of hospital pregnancy prison will seem like nothing the first time I see and hold my LO.

Sending positive vibes to all the other ladies facing difficult situations!! We can do this ladies!!
