News: GL to all our ladies in the 2ww! Congrats to kar5162 on the birth of your baby girl!
Updates: Last week, I was worried about having to have another C-section. mrsmikey's Amelia was having some nursing issues, but otherwise doing great. faeriequeeneonwow had her 20 week scan and everything looks great. BartsGirl was in the 2ww. Question: What are your plans after baby #2 - are you going to be done or will you have another at some point?If you'd like to address a question to the group, please feel free to page or PM me.

Re: Pregnant (& TTC) After Preemie Check-in!
Well, I had my last midwife appt yesterday and I'm still 1cm and 70%. Baby's still high, and no other labor indications. Actually, I think she's higher than she was last week...*sigh*. Anyway, my midwife still says there's always a possibility it'll happen before the C-section, but at this point, I'd imagine we're having a C-section. Never thought I'd end up here...one born 6 weeks early and another taken forcibly at 40 weeks! Crazy.
QOTD: I'd love to have 4-5, but I think I'll only be able to convince DH on 3. Having a preemie (esp after going to full term this time) hasn't really changed my opinions. Although, now that all my kids are going to be C-sections, that's another concern to think about, as well.
Since baby is definitely coming tomorrow, this will probably be the last check-in I'll be able to post - is anyone willing to keep it going? Maybe one of the newly TTC or pregnant girls? Becketts? BartsGirl?
Shannon good luck tomorrow. Praying for an easy delivery for you.
If no one wants to take over I will. I love reading all the updates and hearing how all the new momma's are doing. It definitely gives me hope for #2.
Hi ladies! I cannot believe that Shannon is next! Good luck tomorrow!
As for us, we are chugging along. I can't believe that my baby is already 3 months old! My preemie is in love with my full-term baby. Brotherly love at it's best, right here... (psst...the preemie is on the left)...
I hope you all are well!
ETA: Oh...the QOTW! We are definitely going to give #3 a go...but not until #2 is at least a year old. I talked to my doc about it and they are recommending that I do the P17 shots again along with cervical checks from weeks 16-24. They also are recommending that I have an amnio at 37 weeks to check for maturity so that they can induce, given my two past precipitous labors. I will do the shots and cervical checks again, but not the amnio for induction. If #3 wants to come with quickness also, then so be it. I'll just call the ambulance a little earlier next time.
Good luck tomorrow Shannon!
I would love to have a 3rd child but I don't think my husband wants anymore so we are probably done unless I can talk him into another in a few years.
Thanks!
I usually just open up 2 browser windows and copy and paste the last week's check-in into one of them. Then I use the last week's check-in as a guide to make edits/updates to the new check-in. Takes about 5-10min. Every once in a while I'll go through the list of Bumpies and delete those who aren't active on the boards (if you google search bump names, post histories come up).
Good luck tomorrow Shannon!!
We're good here, can't believe it's been over a month already! We're only having 2, but as Quinn gets older it makes me really sad I'll never have a baby again

Thanks for posting this. I know sometimes I have weird formatting issues with copy and paste.
Good luck tomorrow Shannon! Praying for an easy delivery for you!
Thanks! I can't wait to have this baby in my arms....and something to drink/eat, no food or liquids after midnight and I woke up at 12:30am desperately wanting a drink!
Update: We saw baby and the heartbeat (HR 143) on Monday!!! My anxiety level plummeted.
I have normal labs/nurse visit in 2 weeks, then another u/s in 4 weeks. I'm so excited that I can finally feel excited instead of anxious!
Question: I'm pretty sure we'll be 2 and done. Between DD's premature arrival and our infertility issues this time, I don't think I can handle the stress. However, if this little one makes it to full term without complications, we'll re-assess.
