People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
Re: High Risk Pregnancy Check-In 12/18
1. How many weeks are you? 5w
2. Why are you high-risk? I have a heart condition that is in the sudden arrrythmic death syndrome family. Aka I could drop dead without warning. The meds for that have a risk to the baby but my MFM wants me to stay on them due to my risk.
3. Upcoming appointments? New information? January 7th for my first real appointment. Went yesterday for a med/risk discussion but that was it.
4. Rants/Raves/Questions? I wasn't high risk for my other 2 kids because I didn't know I had this condition. So the whole high risk is new to me. On top of my issues, both of my kids have/had heart defects so there will be increased monitoring for he baby as well. That is also a recent development so another new part for pregnancy.
5. If you could have a super power for 24 hours, what would it be and why? To see 8 months from now to see if this kid is healthy or if we have another heart baby. Simple enough, right?
