I'm here- and still pregnant!

in Pregnant after a Loss

Hi guys,

i feel like its been forevs, and I'm so out of the loop! I'm sorry I've missed all the updates, gender reveals, BFPs and BPFs this last week! Trust me, I've been thinking about you all (since I have a ton of time on my hands!). It's just hard to be on my iPad while hooked up to these dang monitors all the time.  Here's where I'm currently at...

35w3d and hanging in there. BP is finally responding to the meds but now I'm on the max daily dose : OB and peri can't decide if its pre-e or gestational hypertension: BP was SCARY high (at one point last Tuesday it was 199/100 and they started prepping me for a c-section) but kidney/liver/platelets totally normal. I was spoiling a decent amount of protein in my 24 hour catch, but they've also repeated that and the amount has decreased considerably. Laying on my side in a dark hospital room 24 hours a day seems to agree with me, cause baby so far looks fantastic: passes her twice daily NSTs, has tons of fluid, etc. it's still a day to day situation but for the time being things have improved. I'm miserable and heartsick to be in the hospital at Christmas, but I remind myself that every day I'm here and still pregnant is hopefully one less day Thalia will spend in the NICU.  Your thoughts and encouragement mean more than you know right now!

any January ladies interested in taking over the check in? If so, pm me :) love and smooches to all and merry Christmas!!

    Sorry you're still stuck in the hospital, but VERY happy to hear you're still pregnant! Hoping you can stay that way (pregnant, not necessarily in the hospital) for at least another couple of weeks.  Merry Christmas!

    Hey lady, good to hear from you and glad things seem to be going well. Sounds like you have a positive attitude too. Any idea when they'll let you go home? Hang in there, we're all thinking of you!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

    I am so sorry you are stuck in the hospital for Christmas but I am so happy to hear that you both are doing better!  Hopefully when baby girl makes her arrival she will not need any time in the NICU.

    So glad to hear from you! You and Thalia have been on my mind a lot this week. I'm glad to hear that your BP is finally responding to the meds but I'm sorry your stuck in the hospital. Does it look like they'll be keeping you there until you deliver? I hope that she is able to make it to 37 weeks and that giving her a little extra time keeps her from a NICU stay. You and your little girl are in my prayers and I hope you both continue to improve. Try to enjoy your Christmas and continue to take care of yourself and your precious little girl.

    I am so sorry your spending Christmas in the hospital but I'm glad your doing much better and Thalia is doing great. I hadn't seen what your were naming her til now and I must say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE her name. It's beautiful I am sending you lots of TP's.
    on a side note Jackson was born at 35w6d and no NICU stay, so it's not always the case. Which I'm hoping for you if she comes earlier than 37. Ill be lurking and checking on you.

Sorry you're stuck in the hospital for the holidays, but I love your attitude. This will all be so worth it when you finally get to meet your sweet [troublemaking] little girl.

Nonetheless, I'm really sorry that you're going to be in the hospital over Christmas. I hope you find tons of distractions. Maybe you'll find some Parks and Recreation re-runs?

    I'm glad that things seem to be settling down with hospital bedrest, even though I'm sure it sucks to be there over xmas!! I hope you can keep your little girl in there for just a little while longer, but you're definitely in the range where you could be looking at no NICU time, which would be great!
