Damabo80 updated that she's still pregnant (33 weeks and still counting). She's being checked weekly w/ biophysical U/S and for both pre-e/hellp. What wonderful news.

Re: Pregnant (& TTC) after a Preemie check in 8/8/12
My second birth was unmedicated, although I was hoping for at least an epi. I didn't have pre-e the second time, so no mag salfate (yay). I did in fact get stadol and that was a nasty combined w/ambien. Obviously thinking about it now, I'm happy that I didn't get the epi and that was able to get up almost immediately to head to the NICU to see my DD.
Love that you've been given the green light to lay in the pool, awesome! Keep up the good work baking that LO. Thanks for checking in.
Kd&J: Due March 29, 2013, Keira born at 29 wks due to PROM at 19 wks
Welcome and Congratulations. Please stop back weekly with updates.
Good news: No more contractions in the past week!
Bad news: My emotional state has been SUCH a rollercoaster. At times I am so, so scared for what could happen this pregnancy. At other times I am completely calm and peaceful. I just wish I could maintain that. I've had so many tears the last 24 hours. It doesn't help that my OB (whom I love normally) keeps saying how this is the critical period for my cervix, until 24 weeks. Ugh... I don't need that reminder.
So glad to hear everyone else's updates. It is so nice not being alone in this pregnant after preemie journey.
Congratulations! Thank you for updating us and enjoy your little guy.
I haven't been around much because my LO is a very busy li'l man these days and is taking up all my time!
I am 9 weeks 3 days pregnant, but I still am terrified I will have a miscarriage. This morning, I had about an hour of severe cramping... like, 10x worse than AF cramps... it reminded me of my first m/c so I was afraid that's what was happening. The cramps stopped and I haven't had any sign of bleeding/spotting, so I guess we'll see. I don't feel pregnant in the slightest (but, I didn't with Jack, either).
I've been so worried about a miscarriage that I haven't even started to worry about a second premature birth yet... but my BP is already high this time... praying that I won't have to deliver any earlier and might hang on until at least 34 weeks this time if not longer!
