Re: Pregnant (& TTC) after a Preemie Check in 1/31/13
I am STILL pregnant! I can't believe it either. Mentally and emotionally I am thrilled to be expecting a full term, plump (well, comparitively speaking but obviously I don't know exactly yet) baby girl any time now, but physically I'm pretty beat.
So, I get to be one of those huge waddling pregnant women who is prepping to eat spicy foods and take long walks! I'm starting to actually worry that I might go overdue and need to get induced. That would be ironic, huh? I needed pitocin with DD since my water broke with no contractions so I'm holding out hope that my body will do what it needs to do, when it needs to. My exam on Monday had me at 80% and 3cm so I'm hoping I'll meet baby girl in the next week to 10 days!
Wow 80% and 3 cm! I hope your LO plans to make her entrance soon. Praying for an easy delivery.

Silas 1.25.13 35.4w 10 days NICU, allergies/asthma, gluten intolerant
Hi everyone! Today I'm the GA that I had DD1 at, so I'm thrilled to still be pregnant! Any day from here on out is a gift!
If DH could absolutely commit, then we would probably tell people. It's going to be Coraline Ann, so I don't know why he's dragging his feet. Whatever, I'll just go along until I have her so he feels in control, haha.
BFP(4) DD2 born 2.14.13 @ 35w5d due to pPROM
Hi, we had our 18 week anatomy scan and biweekly cervical check this week. We found out we are having a healthy and active baby boy. I was also told that my cervix thinned to 2.6cm (down from 4cm two weeks ago). The ultrasound tech mentioned that 2.5cm was the hospital cutoff. We also found out I have a low lying placenta--probably from the T c-section scaring. So we're just keeping our fingers crossed and staying positive until I go in for my next cervical check and OB apt in two weeks.
We announced our daughters name before she was born but didn't announce our sons name. Mostly that was because we both loved my DD's name from day 1 and didn't have a name chosen before my son was born.
Lily born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 4 oz.
Max born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 2 oz.
Glenn born at 31 wks: 3 lbs 9 oz.
My twin's birth story
Congratulations on baby boy#2. Praying that your cervix starts behaving. Definitely keep us posted.
I will be 22 weeks tomorrow and still feel good, just occasional back and pelvic pain. I'm curious to see how my cervix looks at my 24 week appt. My last dr. tried to tell me at my 20 week appt that my cervix was fine and there was no reason to monitor it going forward. I called the office (because in my opinion if I start to thin out it'll be between 20-30 weeks, not really before that) and asked for another opinion, and my original dr (who delivered Kieran) said that he definitely wanted to monitor my cervix at each appointment. This makes me happy even if it is unnecessary monitoring, better to be safe.
We waited to share our name when I was pregnant with Kieran and will do with this baby as well. We are not sharing any possible name ideas with anyone.
Yay Incogneato and Sucrets for still being pregnant! I still feel great except for my back being totally out, but a trip to the chiro Saturday morning should fix that. DH is actually really good at giving me the 17P shot, this week was even easier than last week, the man is skilled, lol!
Now if we could only agree on a boy name without causing WW3...
New here, can I join in? Newly pregnant, approx 7ish weeks. DS was my preemie, but my ODD was 3weeks early but no complications. DS is now almost 3, he was born at 29weeks, after pPROM at 23weeks (SCH dx at 10weeks that caused pPROM and PTL). I spent 5 weeks on HBR (which SUCKS), and then he spent almost 5 months in the NICU. no one could get his lungs figured out. Came home on high flow O2, and a gtube. When he was approx 18months, he was O2 free, and as of October of last year, we are gtube free! Well, sorta. It's still there, but we're not using it anymore!! He's a petite little boy, only weighing 20lbs, and with little stick limbs lol, but he's doing awesome.
So now I'm pregnant with #3 and sorta in a panic about what will happen. Feb 5th seems to be d-day around here--that's when I was hospitalized 3 years ago with him, and then last year thanks to RSV.
Hoping to hit my due date, or at least my MONTH, which has never happened before :P
