News: GL to all our ladies in the 2ww! T&P to ijack on being sent to L&D for spotting. mrsfriend is still doing well. Congrats to kamcfarlane on being full term! Congrats to njkaren on getting to the 3rd tri!
Updates: Last week, we had a great anatomy scan and found out it's another girl. ijack had some spotting and was sent to L&D - everything was OK, but she did do steroid shots just in case. lemen99's been feeling some pressure, but everything looks fine. kamcfarlane is full term and waiting for baby's arrival in less than a week! njkaren is also doing well and is in her third trimester. mrsmikey had her anatomy scan, but it was very rushed due to a scheduling error - she'll be going back for a second look soon - her cervix is looking good and she started 17P shots.

Re: Pregnant (& TTC) After Preemie Check-in!
I joined yesterday and I figured I would post my kids history like it was for everyone in the orginal post.
photoqueen115, Stefanie - Baby #1 DS Christopher born at exactly 37 weeks, Baby #2 DD Rachael born at 35 weeks for unknown reason.
I had another u/s this week and the baby looks good and is definitely a girl (yay for confirmation after 3 other u/s!!). My placenta is a little low, which doesn't make sense because it used to be "normal" and they are supposed to grow up with your uterus, but mine is now 6mm from my cervix. I guess we'll see what it looks like at my 28w appt, hopefully it isn't a big deal
Last time I was this PG I was on bed rest so it's nice to be up and walking around still. I feel pretty good, so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can. I washed and put away preemie and newborn clothes last night - gah, I forgot how tiny they are!

Welcome! Where would you like to be added - pregnant, TTC, or thinking about TTC?
I am with you on that! When we checked my cervix last week, the baby's head was right on top of my cervix bump, bump, bumping away! I was like, can you stop please? I don't think you can carry a baby any lower than that
But I feel like I have to pee all the time even when I don't because baby is just hanging out down there.
