Success after IF

late intro...I hope you'll have me!

Hi ladies,
I should have intro'ed over here 4 months ago, but I didn't have much time to be on TB with our situation. For those who don't know me, I had a somewhat complicated pregnancy. My IF history is in my siggy, and after 10 weeks of bedrest our beautiful ladies, Olivia and Ella, joined us at 28.6 weeks on October 16th. I returned to work while my girls were in the NICU, and at 6 weeks postpartum I ended up hospitalized for acute hemorrhaging due to a retained placenta. Luckily that was our last major hurdle, and our girls came home a week later on December 7th. I only have about 2 weeks left of maternity leave, and I would like to join you ladies instead of just being a dirty lurker! I recognize a lot of you from IF and PAIF, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone else :)

  • Welcome Chels! And, don't feel bad about the late intro...I only just intro'ed! I'm so glad to hear you are doing well! I had been wondering what happened after the girls' early birthday. And, I'm so sorry about the placental problem. My SIL dealt with the same issue at 6w pp and it was a very scary experience for the family. So glad to hear everything is okay!

    Welcome back!!! How are Olivia and Ella doing? And I am guessing you are doing much better yourself.

    We are doing wonderfully! I guess I forgot to include that, huh? Olivia is 9 and a half pounds, and Ella is 8 and a half pounds. We were lucky that they did not end up with any significant health problems from being premature!

    It certainly wasn't easy, but I was fortunate that my boss let me work half time so I could save my maternity leave for when they came home. I worked 5 minutes away from the NICU and never missed a day visiting them.
