Re: Pregnant & TTC After a Preemie Check In 7/11/13
I've scheduled an appointment with my doctor (who is the head of high risk at our practice) for July 23 to see what if anything I can do before we start trying next spring/summer. I also want to talk to her about the chances of everything happening again and how it will be different this time since I won't see them again until I'm pregnant (hopefully). I'm both excited and terrified. My son is amazing and doing so well but I'm worried I won't get as lucky next time and worry about him if something happens next time. So many things I never considered last time. I'm hopeful that the appointment goes well though and the news is better than what I'm expecting!
ETA- second time moms- what did you ask before you conceived again and is there anything you wish you had asked? (XP question on high risk)
good memory.... severe pre-e (high BP and swelling but no protein at any time) and some related neurological issues (me not him... history of intracranial hypertension/pseudotumor cerebri, seeing spots, headache that wouldn't go away).
I'm sure it is frustrating... I am glad that the shots will help you though!!! isn't 30% close to the range for people without a history of PTL?
Your feelings are completely understandable! We went through the same thing and vowed that if MFM said our chances of another preemie were high that we were going to be OAD. Another pregnancy after a preemie is definitely not an easy road to travel, but if you were given the green light and DH is completely supportive and on the same page, I would try. MFM gave us some advice on having number 3 (preventative cerclage at about 12 weeks), but we only wanted 2 kids so we are definitely done. The SBR and my age are huge factors as well (I'm 35).
Our main concerns and what we asked about were the chances of having another preemie (don't remember stats but she said my chances of FT baby were good with P17 shots), making sure we knew cause of preemie #1 (pPROM with no signs of PTL), and the plan for extra monitoring (we were told MFM visits every 2 weeks starting at 12 weeks for cervical checks). DH and I were satisfied with that plan so we went for it.
Good luck with your appt and I will have fingers crossed that you get good news! Keep us updated!Im doing pretty good this week. I have been taking it easy and back to work. Today was DD1's birthday and I took the day off to spend with her and we went out to lunch with DH before he went to work. Yesterday I kept thinking about my labor experience with her and hoping it is much better this time. I can't believe she is already 2 and DD2 is due in 7 weeks 2 days. My family is coming to stay with us this weekend for her party so we will have 4 extra adults and 3 extra kids in our 2 bedroom apartment.
My next dr appointment is on Monday.
Glad to hear you had a good week! Happy 2nd birthday to your DD! Let us know how your appt goes.
That's great that you haven't had side effects from shots! FX that your cervical length stays that way.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
That wonderful that things continue to go well for your LO! Sorry to hear about your chronic hip and back pains though-I hope they go away soon! FX on your VBAC!
happy birthday Older LO and keep on keeping on LO! Good luck with all of those people in your apartment!!! you are braver than I am!
You are doing great!!
I hope they stay that way for you!
let's hope!!!
I'll actually be over 35 when I deliver again so that is another consideration... I'm sure I'll have plenty of visits ahead of me when we do conceive. I'm glad we aren't going to be team green this time, that might be too stressful to try to hide that often!! we were team green the first time and DH said he wants to know next time so I am sure we will.
There is this huge part of me that is really excited to start trying again and feel the baby kick (hopefully I won't have an anterior placenta and can actually feel it this time) but I'm going to be a mess the whole time with worry too. Hopefully now that we know what I might face we can figure out a way to control everything but only time will tell.
I will definitely keep you all updated on my appt. I can't tell anyone else anyway haha we aren't going to tell anyone when we start trying again just in case we have trouble or there are issues.
I asked a lot of people about vbac. I'm very excited to have my ultrasound on the 29th. I meet with the midwife the Monday before. Very excited to meet her. She thinks I'm a good HBACcanidate, and says she doesn't think I am at high risk for another preemie!
My partial previa resolved and I'm allowed to go back to normal activities so long as I ease into things slowly.
My anatomy scan was Monday and baby looks healthy. We also found out we're having another little girl. I discussed VBAC/RCS with the OB.
I also toured the new hospital where I'll be delivering. It looks fantastic (though I did burst into tears in the middle of the delivery room we were looking at which was awkward).
