Pregnant after a Loss
*~*~*Tuesday Ticker Change Check-In*~*~*
Hi Girls! I?ve been a little out of the loop in terms of keeping up with the board since I?ve been battling law school finals and ten thousand doctor appointments, so please excuse me if I?ve missed anyone?s big announcements. I?m looking forward to things calming down finally at the end of this week and getting my life back.
What?s your ticker reading this Tuesday? Any big ups, downs or milestones to share?
QOTW: How?s your pregnancy impacting any of your holiday celebrations this year? Anything different or special you?re doing this time around?
Jinx75: Any change in your contractions? How nice to be at a point where you don?t have to get super worried about it. You?re so close!
Aluenna: Hope you?re hanging in there in spite of the discomfort. Yay for being able to be productive on baby things anyway and an even bigger yay for being just around the corner from meeting your baby girl!
Bluenoser4ever: Congrats and welcome! Big hugs and lots of t&p that your stay here is happy and healthy. Fingers crossed for you for lots to celebrate after your early ultrasound this week!
mscandyman: Best of luck at your NT scan today! I hope your DH was able to rearrange things to make it. If it?s any consolation, mine was on a business trip to China of all places for ours this time. I ended up bringing my BFF and got to show DH the DVD later when he got home.
MsVolley02: Yay for flutters and boo for morning sickness. I hope you?ve seen progress in both areas over the past week.
MarxieVonTrapp: How?s the inverted nipples research going? I have two of those myself and am anxious as well. I have a feeling I?ll be getting to know the hospital?s lactation consultant pretty well!
Gerberva11837: What a relief to have the daycare decision made! How many did you end up looking at? I really need to get moving on that, but we?ll be moving back across the country next summer so it?s hard to do that stuff from here and not being sure where exactly we?ll live.
Joanna914: Anyone have any updates? I?m sure there?s been one but I?m so out of the loop. Hope everything was amazing!
Pottermommy: Anything new in bedrestland this week? My last week of bed rest wasn?t super restful because of trying to squeeze in a million appointments and taking finals at home, but I?m really looking forward to the calm after the storm starting next week. Any at home projects or tv shows you?ve been enjoying?
Choicesmom: Again, so sorry to be out of the loop, but I think I remember seeing good amnio results for you, right? If so YAY and what a relief! What a headache this pregnancy stuff can be.
Pangnl179: Welcome to the check in and congrats on your pregnancy! How was your first ultrasound? Any new symptoms to report?
Naflmj: How?s your head doing these days? Any better? Yay for a great NT scan! I?m someone who got the worst news at our first NT scan, so having a good one this time was such an amazing milestone for me. Thanks for the tips on inverted nipple nursing ? I?m sure I?ll be back for more when the time comes!
Anyone else I?m missing or new to the check in? Hope everyone?s week is off to a great start!

Re: *~*~*Tuesday Ticker Change Check-In*~*~*
36 weeks today. I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. It's my last so it's bittersweet that we are almost to the end and LO will be in my arms in no time!!! I can't wait to meet her! I have a routine OB appt today and a growth u/s to see just how big this LO is. At 28 weeks she was measuring 3.3 lbs. I am excited to see her cute little face today and make sure everything is going the way it's supposed to. My contractions have settled down, they are intermittent and I still have to breath through them but they are not timeable. We'll see if Madeleine will be a 2011 or 2012 baby.
QOTW: How?s your pregnancy impacting any of your holiday celebrations this year? Anything different or special you?re doing this time around?
I'm doing nothing this year, other than shopping for DD #1 (already done) and DH. I have no energy for anything else. This is the first year I haven't participated in the office gift exchange either but I need a stress free holiday season.
Hi ladies, hope your weeks are going well so far.
I am 15 weeks today and we find out the sexes tomorrow (if they cooperate) so that's what is getting me through this week. Headaches are more once/week and seem to not last as long but they still suck. I just keep telling myself how worth it it will all be in the end. I can't believe how much harder this twin pregnancy has been on me and it's still early.
ETA: Didn't see the QOTW. Nothing is really changing about our celebrations this year although we are making an extra trip to Long Island since we likely won't be heading down next year with the twins.

Good Morning Everyone!
16 weeks today! I am going in for my check up today at 3:15 and I can't help it, but I am a little nervous. I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again though. This week flew by and not much changed for me. I am still struggling with my m/s and taking a Zofran pretty much every other day at least. Other than that, I have been feeling some pain right above my pelvic pain that I am attributing to RLP. I am going to ask the doctor about it today though.
QOTW: How?s your pregnancy impacting any of your holiday celebrations this year? Anything different or special you?re doing this time around?
I am a lot slower than last year. We just got all the decorations up and I didn't even put all of them up. We got the tree this weekend but I haven't decorated it yet. Oh well! It will get done!
New to the check in but been lurking for quite some time!!
I'm 20 weeks today - which is a huge milestone for me!!! Can't believe baby is half-baked!! Also, hubs and I are going in for 20 wk. app't and a/s scan today - so we are hoping to find out which team we are on...??? Can't wait - but I've been so stressed about this app't - I hope my b/p is okay....
QOTW: How?s your pregnancy impacting any of your holiday celebrations this year? Anything different or special you?re doing this time around?
Not really doing anything different this year - just haven't had the umpf! to get too crazy. Tree and decorations are up, shopping is pretty well a done deal - so I'm pretty much ready to rock 'n roll for this holiday!
Hi there! Happy Tuesday!
We are signing daycare papers today, although, as mentioned before we decided on this one a week or so ago. We ended up only looking at 2. I had this really neat website that showed me the daycares in my work area and allowed me to see the latest State inspection reports so I knew if they had any violations and if so what they were. It's super expensive, but my FIL offered to watch the baby until May 1st which I'm sooo grateful for! What a nice thing to offer to help keep our costs down.
What?s your ticker reading this Tuesday? Well I'm 34 weeks today! can't believe I only have 6 weeks to my due date! I'm hoping to go a bit early because my doc will be on vacation on my due date and I really want him to deliver. So we'll see. I have my next appointment at 35 weeks next Thursday, and that's the first appointment where they'll check me to see if I'm dilating etc. Exciting! Plus I'm going to bring my little sister with me because my doc promised me a quick u/s to see the baby and I want her to see it. I figured that would be pretty cool for her.
Any big ups, downs or milestones to share? Nothing major really, milestone is just tacking on a week at a time. The only thing that my over-thinking brain won't let go is the fear of something being wrong with LO's health. Not that there's really anything that would indicate it, but my husband's uncle has downs syndrom and the closer I get to my due date the more I fear that it was passed on to our LO. We opted not to get him/her tested earlier in the pregnancy which was fine then because I was so far away from my due date, but the closer I get the more scared I get. Everything checked out just fine on my 20 week u/s, but for some reason I can't shake that fear. I keep telling myself though that there's nothing I can do about it so to just sit back and look forward to meeting my LO, which I TOTALLY AM
Is it January 24th yet?
I am 22 weeks today! Things are going well, I'm starting to feel LO move around more and more (I have an anterior placenta, so it's apparently normal not to feel him very much right now) but I'd like to be able to feel her a lot more and have DH be able to feel him. (I'm Team Green, so I mix pronouns). I've got a little bump, but I'm really looking forwad to the basketball look, which I guess might happen in the next month or so. I feel like I haven't grown much over the past few weeks.
I also haven't bought anything for the baby. I'm getting a bunch of gender neutral clothes from my sister next month and then she'll send the boy/girl clothes once the baby's born, so I don't want to buy clothes. We haven't done anything to the nursery yet, but everything I want is personalized so I have to wait!
No big ups or downs or milestones. My GT is on 12/27, when I'll be 24 weeks and V-Day!
Christmas while pregnant is great--I get to eat all I want while wearing elastic-waisted pants. We do a three-year rotation for Christmas: one year with my family, one year with DH's family and one year at home. This is our first year at home and it's wonderful. The two-week visit from my MIL is not wonderful, however.
Inverted nipple research is coming slowly but surely. Apparently there are these suction-cup type things which will help. I'm still wary.

26 weeks for me today! Pretty exciting considering when all of this pre-e stuff first went down two weeks ago I had no idea if I'd get this far. Now I have my eyes on 28 and beyond. I have two more finals and three doctors' appointments this week and then I'm finally off on what I hope will be a relaxing and uneventful 10 weeks of bed rest.
We won't travel this Christmas (hooray!) but my family is coming to visit and I'm looking forward to seeing them since we didn't get to go home at Thanksgiving either because of the bp issues. I had to do all of my Christmas shopping online because of the bedrest, but I'm definitely seeing the benefits in that as a couple of hours of couch clicking have resulted in a constant stream of packages at the door. If only these things would wrap and re-ship themselves too!
Hey Lisa!!! Glad to see you!!!
We are doing pretty good on bedrest....Watching alot on animal planet and TLC oh and criminal minds....Gabriel is doing well he is flourishing without me moving around alot, he moves non stop all day long. Just bouncing around in there like it is his own personal bounce house....
On a side note my aunt asked if I wanted anything yesterday and not thinking about it I asked for a jamoca shake from Arby's....Yeah he was jacked up for hours
Any ups this week: Uhm, the bathroom is painted finally, I wasn't allowed to do it so I had to wait for others. However I have Dr. permission to paint the stars, they won't take long so I going to do it today or tommorrow.
Any downs: no, not really. I think it is being in bed and my mind wanders but I am really struggling with some Kamryn issues. You know guilt and sadness. His C section date is 13 days before her 5th birthday and 3 days after the 3 year anniversary of mom's death. I don't want to be in the hospital with him at the same time I was in the hospital with her.....I feel bad for being sad though b/c I should be so happy to be there.... I don't know I think I have too much time to think.
I officially have under 50 days!! We are 33 weeks today!!!!
Hey gals!
Yes, I had my NT Scan today and my DH was able to join me. He actually ended up driving 5 hours late last night and then 5 hours back after our appointment today just so he could be there. It was his first U/S & he really didn't want to miss his peek at the peanut. Seeing the baby actually look like a baby made it so real. It almost looked as though he/she was waving at us! Although we were given so many great pictures, the baby wasn't in a good position to get a proper measurement. After doing an abdominal, an internal, some jumping jacks and another abdominal, it was decided to try again this Friday and hopefully the baby will cooperate.
Between this and the trouble hearing the heartbeat, this kid truly is already a trouble-maker. Something tells me we have our work cut out for us. Good news is the doctor said things look normal and the baby is measuring true to size. And I'll get to see him/her again!
Christmas will be huge for us this year as we will be telling both sides of the family in person. We can not wait to see their reactions. We're going to put u/s pix in a frame that says Coming Soon In June 2012! No one knows that we've been trying for some time and the fact we are a little older, no one expects a thing. Hopefully we'll be able to catch their reactions on camera!
Hi everyone, hoping you are all having a great day!
What?s your ticker reading this Tuesday? 7 weeks, a blueberry!
Any big ups, downs or milestones to share? I had an u/s on Friday and saw the tiniest bean with a heartbeat flickering away. She said it was hard to measure the heartbeat but that it was over 100 bpm. It was amazing to see a heartbeat this time!!
I still don't have many symptoms. Basically just a little tired and my boobs are fuller but I think that might be from the progesterone. I am trying not worry and I know that some people don't have many symptoms but it is still worrysome.
QOTW: How?s your pregnancy impacting any of your holiday celebrations this year? Not too much besides that I won't be drinking during parties. We are not telling anyone yet but we will probably tell only our parents on Christmas day.
