High Risk Check-In 3/7

Sugargirl1019

As we get further along, many of us will unfortunately get diagnoses that shake us to the core. I'd like to pray for each of you in my daily prayers. If you're not comfortable, just leave it blank. Recently there's been a lot of prayers needed.


How far along are you?

Why are you considered high-risk / getting increased monitoring?

What's the potential impact on you / baby?

Any additional monitoring or testing this week?

Any concerns currently?

Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 

GTKY: What's your favorite flower/plant? It's spring here and my wisteria and hydrangea are blooming!

Why are you considered high-risk / getting increased monitoring? HBP

What's the potential impact on you / baby? Growth restriction and any complications with preeclampsia.

Any additional monitoring or testing this week? No appts or testing this week. Still just monitoring my BP daily.

Any concerns currently? Anxiety as things are progressing. I had such a difficult pregnancy last time. I am hoping this one will be different with no extended hospital stays. With my increased anxiety comes increased BP. Good stuff. 

Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? Nothing specifically. Just praying for strength to get through the next few months. 

GTKY: What's your favorite flower/plant? It's spring here and my wisteria and hydrangea are blooming! I like lilies a lot.

@JustBored10  I didn't realize you had it removed it already. Let's let bygones be bygones and trust your dermatologist to have made the best decision

Why are you considered high-risk / getting increased monitoring? Type 1 DM, MTHFR 

What's the potential impact on you / baby? big baby, placental failure, shoulder dystocia, low BGs requiring nicu time at birth/ blood clots in placenta

Any additional monitoring or testing this week?
Nope, just checking my sugar lots! My NIPT should be back this week and I'm so impatient!

Any concerns currently? I'm having some more insulin resistance in the afternoons. It came in suddenly. I'm not dropping super low in the morning either. I think the tide is changing for the basals... 

Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? My NIPT test to be okay, and for my parents. Their marriage is not great and it's just coming to light and I'm devastated.

GTKY: What's your favorite flower/plant? It's spring here and my wisteria and hydrangea are blooming! I like hydrangea.. but I also really love peonies!

GTKY: What's your favorite flower/plant? It's spring here and my wisteria and hydrangea are blooming! I love hyacinth, they are blooming now where I am!

@latershrader I tried to grow a few hyacinth once, they were neat! And then like broke right in half. Like a broken celery. I love flowers, but do not have a green thumb.

My wisteria have been planted for 1 year.. but have green sprouts with no flower blooms. Hopefully next hear they'll bloom. But I suck st remembering to fertilize and prune!

Sorry, I'm a lurker, but I just wanted to say, @Sugargirl1019 I've dealt with my parents having marriage issues as an adult. If you ever want to talk, PM me.

How far along are you?

11 weeks and 2 days.

Why are you considered high-risk / getting increased monitoring?

I have Crohn's Disease.

What's the potential impact on you / baby?

I have to have a C-Section because of past Crohn's complications.

Any additional monitoring or testing this week?

Nope, this is a quiet week between my initial OB appointment last week and my NT scan/blood work next week.

Any concerns currently?

I can't eat any fruits or vegetables beyond a bite or two because of the Crohn's. My doctors have assured me that the baby will pick up the needed nutrients in my prenatal vitamin and through other foods, but I've been craving veggies all week. That's making me paranoid that the baby isn't getting enough of what it needs.

Anything I can pray for you specifically about right now? 

This is my second pregnancy (our last ended when the baby stopped growing at around eight weeks in December 2015), so I'll take any prayers offered that things continue on the right path with this LO.

Any plant that doesn't require me keeping it alive! LOL. It's genetic, my mom couldn't keep flowers or plants alive either.

@amandarene112 Thanks girl. It has to do with a previous brain injury affecting my dad's personality. It's just... scary and heartbreaking to see/hear things, and he's delusional and doesn't believe he acts as bad as he does.. it's just scary. Never thought I'd see my parents separate and take space from each other.
