Re: Pregnant & TTC After a Preemie Check In 5/23/13
My question for everyone is whether you went to see a mfm before you started ttc and when? My next yearly is in July. But we are going to ttc less than a year after that. Should I see the mfm first or my doctor? I want to do everything I can to prepare!
Thanks! I look forward to reading this post now. I was always scared to even open it because dh wasn't sure he wanted any more kids after what happened.
I would mention something to your OB when you go in for your yearly. See what they suggest, ask about chances of having another baby with pre-e, etc. If you feel like you need another opinion, I would see an MFM. Good luck with your decision.
I was still pg with DS (but in the hospital with my pPROM) when MFM mentioned that I needed to do a consult with her before we even thought of the possibility of TTC another baby. So we saw her in March 2011 when we were thinking about it and we planned on TTC that September. She gave us her advice and said I had a pretty good chance of going FT with the P17 shots. She did say that there was still a possibility she would have to put me on bed rest just to prepare us for it. After the consult, she made sure that I started prenatals and extra folic acid right away. I did have my yearly right before that and OB was happy about us trying again, but told us to do the consult before we did anything.
I completely understand your fear of having a baby after a preemie. It took us a good 3 years before we felt we could do this again. Good luck with your decision!
I'm still here ladies, I will be 38 weeks on Saturday. No changes since last week, or even since the week before. I've even managed to stay the same weight the last 3 appointments.
I am 1 cm dilated but have been for the last 3 appointments. The baby is head down still but still not engaged in my pelvic bone.
I still can't believe I have gotten this far with this pregnancy. I am so ready for the baby to come now and so excited for the opportunity to hold the baby right after he/she is born like a normal person.
Now the hard part, waiting!!!
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I would talk to your dr at your pap and see what he/she says. I had pree with dd and went into labor at 35 weeks my dr said that my chances of getting it again do not increase because I had it with dd1. This pregnancy is going well so far I lam definitely more in tune with my symptoms and get nervous when I have a headache or something else that might be a sign of pre e but that's to be expected. I'm also planning on staying local after 32 weeks I don't want to travel on case an issue occurs Good luck.
Congrats on hitting full term status!
Glad to hear that your cervix is strong after last week! Keep us updated with what OB says.
Happy to hear that pregnancy continues to go well!
PhillyGal, when we met with MFM before TTC this time, it was basically to get some odds and also develop a plan for how my next pregnancy would be handled. It was informative and helped set my mind at ease a little, since I really had to be talked into TTC for #2. So far, between the constant monitoring and P17 shots, I am still pregnant at 33 weeks, which is a huge thing for me. It's definitely worth meeting with MFM to see how they plan to handle your next pregnancy, good luck!
For an update on me, I am 33 weeks as of today and cannot believe I made it this far! I also cannot believe that I only have three weeks left of P17 shots...DH is going to be disappointed when he can no longer stab me in the a$$ in a weekly basis, lol!
Good to hear that everything is still going well!
I completely understand how you feel!
I can't believe I made it this far either! I have one more shot and 17 days left until FT.
Love love your picture!
Can't wait for him to meet DS1!
