Re: PG Again Check-In
Hi everyone!
Update: I had my consult with my peri last Friday, and unfortunately I still have complete placenta previa. My OB resisted when I asked for a referral to a peri, but agreed to give me one. I am going back to the peri in 5 weeks to see if the placenta has moved. If not, she suggests a C section around 37-38 weeks (with amnio beforehand to check lung maturity). My OB doesn't think we need to do a C section until 39 weeks, so obviously the peri is taking a more cautious approach. I guess the final decision is up to me so I have some thinking to do. Hopefully it resolves on it's own and I don't need the c section, but neither doctors were optimistic about that happening. Oh well, all I really care about is that my baby boy arrives safely. Sorry for the long update.
QOTW: How is this pregnancy different so far in terms of symptoms (M/S, weight gain, fatigue, etc.)
This pregnancy has been pretty different than my last one. I had no morning sickness with DD, and this time around I felt pretty crappy from around weeks 6 to 11. I never actually got sick though, so that was a good thing. I was definitely more tired this time around too. I don't know if that's because I had DD to take care of, but with my 1st pregnancy I never got the fatigue that people talked about. As for weight gain, I have gained a lot more with this pregnancy than I had at this point in my last pregnancy. At 27.5 weeks I've gained close to the total I gained with DD. Eeeek! However, I started out about 10 pounds lighter this time. So I'm hoping I will end up at around the same weight at the end of this pregnancy as I did before. We'll see what happens, but I'm not too worried about it.
Can you add me, please? Due 9/17.
QOTD: So far, it's been the same, but with more bloating. I didn't have any symptoms at this point with DD and haven't with this one, either.
I'm full term! Unfortunately, DD doesnt think that is any reason to make any progress. At my appt last week, my cervix was really soft but nothing else to report. At my appt yesterday, he said I still wasnt really dilated (does that mean not at all or a little bit but less than 1, I guess it doesnt matter) but my cervix has thinned and she has moved down. My OB said not to be discouraged, I could go at any time, blah blah blah. It's ok though, at this point I'm not really in a rush. I am getting a little scared about having a toddler and a newborn and while physically, I am totally over being pregnant, mentally I dont think I'm ready for it to be done since it is probably my last time.
QOTW: The pregnancies have been pretty similar. I am more uncomfortable this time but I think that is to be expected. I was on bedrest for PTL for 6 weeks with my first pregnancy and this one has been fine (obviously, I cant even make progress when it is time to start!). I am only 2 lbs less than I was when I delivered DS which is not great since I started 10 lbs less - oops!
-----Lisa-----
I would like to join. My due date is 6-08-11 with a boy.
QOTW: This pregnancy has been incredibly different than the last. I am so sick still. The m/s just won't go away and I never got the 2nd tri burst of energy.
I'd love to join! My due date is April 15th and I'm having boy/girl twins.
QOTW: (from epphd) How is this pregnancy different so far in terms of symptoms (M/S, weight gain, fatigue, etc.) I was REALLY sick this time around in the first tri and was never once sick with Bennett. I guess that should have been a glaring sign that I was preg with twins, but since the betas were almost exactly what they were with just one, I had no clue! And the fatigue was out of this world! I was in bed and asleep by 8:30 every night. That has all evened out now and I'm feeling tons better. Weight gain seems to be the same.....a lot! I'm just not good at watching what I eat, especially with all of this time I've had at home with Christmas break and snow days. I'm still working out 3-5 days a week though!
Nothing really to report. I'm 28 weeks today- so entering the 3rd Trimester. My next appt isn't until the end of the month. I am starting to think about nursery ideas.
QOTW: This time more m/s (or all day sickness). Headaches- which have seemed to have gone away. and just ,more tired since I am chasing a toddler now.
It's been over a week since my last ultrasound and I am dying to have another...I get worried when I don't have reassurance that everything is okay in there. Next appt is next Thursday.... then we might tell immediate family. I am in the process of weaning off my progesterone meds.
QOTW: It's not much different so far...except for the size of my belly already. Pants are getting tight already and I feel like I can't wear a lot of my shirts cause they emphasize my belly... but I feel pretty good and about the same as before...
Question ideas...could ask about cravings, about funny things DC has said about the new baby/baby belly, if you're as cautious/strcit about things the second time around, name ideas, what are you most scared of?
Sorry I haven't checked in lately...work has been INSANE!!!
QOTW: This pregnancy has been very similar to my last one...all day sickness still which is not fun...but at this point I think I'm just used to it! I am carrying a little different...more coming out my back, which is probably because of the extra cushioning Ieft over from the first one
...oh we found out that's it 's a GIRL!
Oops, I forgot the QOTW. The ms and fatigue have been so much worse this time. I am starting to feel better but I have been very close with the couch the last couple of months!
Hi everyone. Update, today is 35/35 for me. And we had a growth ultrasound last week and baby brother does not have IUGR. We are thrilled. I am hoping this means a stress free last few weeks of pregnancy.
QOTW: I am bigger this time, but I have gained the same amount, just started out bigger. Morning sickness was worse this time becuase I needed to be admitted for fluid a couple of times when I was in thick of it. I am really tired. I don't know if I felt this way with DD, I had so much more time to rest then. I also am having more incontinance issues and hemis which I never had with DD. (TMI)
still have not seen the OB yet. 7 more days til I get to know what is going on in there.
QOTW: (from epphd) How is this pregnancy different so far in terms of symptoms (M/S, weight gain, fatigue, etc.)
So far the same no symptoms at all other than I can smell EVERYTHING. Not sleeping and tired all day. BUT I have to toddlers so the not sleeping and the tired all day was there before this bun was in the oven.
