  • @OmegaRose3 - I have low iron levels too although mine were just below the threshold. Even then I have been feeling exhausted lately and I had thought it might be my thyroid levels but those kept coming back normal so low iron explains it. I also compared my results with those from early in pregnancy and it's interesting to see how much they dipped.

  • @absbubbs I've always been able to take my medications for any type of testing, which is why I ended up messaging my doctor and her nurse replied. The other nurse I saw was for one of the other doctors that I had to meet in case mine isn't available if I go into labor on a weekend that she's no on call. The nurse sort of hesitated when I asked about my meds then said no, prompting me to email my doctor just to double check. Thank you for the reassurance! :)  Hope you start feeling better too with the whole feeling so full! 

    ugh, I feel your pain @lulubemadness!

    I thought I saw someone mention eating soup and that helping...I was eating a lot of soup and then went to sandwiches because they sounded good! I'm thinking I'll try soup again!

  • @chickyclg That sounds really difficult. I hope you have some answers soon. Can I ask you about the head shake? What does it look like and how often? DS has done a head shake thing for quiet a while now and I plan to ask the dr at his next appointment. We previously assumed it was something he does out of frustration (he doesn't speak), but it seems to be getting more frequent. My mom has epilepsy (late onset due to a head injury) and I think I have been trying to down play the shake in DS because the events leading to my mom's diagnosis were rather traumatic. Just wondered if the shake was similar to what DS does.

  • @RainyDays86 so glad to hear that! 
    How much longer of chemo do you have before they give you a break?
  • @RainyDays86 , I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well (minus the tiredness)...I've been thinking a lot about you and hoping things are ok!

    @chickyclg , it definitely sounds like what you are dealing with is emotionally taxing. I agree with PP that more help is best as early as possible--early intervention has shown to have hugely positive impacts on children's futures. Vent away...the board is a great space to get out your frustrations and emotions!

  • @Jens_Hoes , meant to tag you before submitting my last comment...good luck with your court appearance! That sounds stressful, but at least you have a little getaway to look forward to.

  • @chickyclg I know it's easy for us to stay ASD isn't a bad diagnosis if it can't get his services, and give your family peace of mind of knowing what's going on better, but from an outsider's perspective that seems so. I'm sure it's very hard going through this with such little ones, and while pregnant! You're a rockstar mom for making it all happen, don't forget to give yourself credit. I hope that the coming appointments prove to be more beneficial than saddening. Thinking about you!

    @RainyDays86 Good to hear from you! It sounds like you have a great team that has set out a great plan for you. I hope everything continues to goes as well as it has been so far. Your positive attitude is truly an inspiration.
  • @Louise_Belcher basically he randomly starts shaking his head very violently and when he stops he generally makes this weird squinting face.  He will do it very randomly but it is also something he does if he looks at bright objects.  He did it in front of the pediatrician and after she checked him out she made the comment that it may be something he is getting sensory pleasure from similar to when kids spin around in circles and then suddenly stop, but we needed to rule out seizures.  Originally we were just going to go to a standard neurologist, but he failed his MCHAT pretty badly and with the notes from ECI she said let's have the developmental Neuro look at him.

  • Well, bummer. I am going to take my glucose test tomorrow, so I called my OBGYN office to see if they have specific requirements about eating beforehand. The nurse said no eating or drinking after midnight. I really hate skipping my normal mealtimes, it tends to make me feel weak/dizzy. Plus, I'm kind of worried that sugary drink on an empty stomach is going to mess with me.

    @Squirtgun That's a good reason for keeping a baby book that I hadn't though about. I may have to pick one up after all.
  • Ok, speaking of baby books. Any recommendations on one that doesn't cost too much?
  • @chickyclg Thinking of you and your DS as you navigate all these upcoming appointments/diagnosis. I just want to second/third/fourth how beneficial it will be for him to have an early diagnosis and intervention. SPED services are becoming so much more readily available and making huge impacts! How wonderful it is for your DS to have such a great advocate of a mom behind him!

  • @starphish18 Regarding baby Books, I make my own using Mixbook online! I keep track of milestones on a note in my phone because let's be honest, I always have my phone with me so it was easy for me to make a note of it with the date! Then I can work on the babybook a little at a time.

  • @starphish18 someone had mentioned some apps that they like to use if you want to go that route. The ones I remember, because I downloaded them to check them out, are The Wonder Weeks and Baby Tracker. 

    I think we have a baby book that my MIL got us a long time ago (she's been asking for babies since we started dating  :O )! I just need to find it...maybe I'll come across it when we unpack once we move...or she'll get us another one haha

  • Okay STM need some help. Not sure if this deserves it's own thread or not...but what questions/suggestion do you have when picking out daycare's? Peanut will be going to daycare once I head back to work (at about 11 weeks) so curious what questions you all thing are important to ask...
  • @chickyclg - Just here to offer support. DS has a developmental delay and I often worry about how school will be for him. He is currently in preschool and I worry that at some point he will start to feel like a dumb kid in class and just thinking of that breaks my heart. We have gotten him in OT and speech therapy to help and I really hope it makes the difference needed for him. Sending hugs! I know it's hard but it's so good that your DS is getting diagnosed early so that he can receive as much help as possible early on. FX for a good upcoming appointment.

    @starphish18 - Kohl's has good books that are about as they are at other stores price-wise but if you have discounts then you end up paying a lot less. 

    I have done a baby book with both kids and especially now that time has passed and we are onto #3, I have found them extremely helpful in looking back and remembering specific milestones, stats, etc. It's amazing how one can think that you'll remember everything but then it doesn't happen. There were specifics about DD's pregnancy that I thought were different until I went back and looked at the baby book and it set me straight. Plus I love that they will always have that information for when they have their own kids.

  • @starphish18 this is the one I plan on getting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXQU3RC/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_ttl?ie=UTF8&colid=1ODC4X2ICW5EB&coliid=I3OR8BG4Y4R51H I'm not a huge fan that it goes until age 5, but I liked how it was set up and some of the things it offers that some of the cheaper (and more expensive) ones don't have. I also have just a calendar one that I may or may not use depending on what baby is.
  • I hear ya @RainyDays86! I have senioritis too and I'll be part time post baby. But I have like 14 weeks so...
