I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.

@mrsdbc Not crazy at all-nothing wrong with being prepared!
@flergirl I hope that your BP stabilizes and baby girl stays put! Sending you T&Ps!
@Missa_g there would be a sweet symmetry to that! Hoping that no matter when it happens the timing is right for a termie!
@mrsdbc I also felt that way... we didn't have everything done, but had a "preemie" bay packed and nursery stuff organized. Now that I'm getting closer to term, I'm having fun packing some "normal" things- took the isolette cover out and am getting ready to wash our coming home outfit. So much fun! Wishing you the same luck!
As far as me- all is good in the hood. 34 weeks on Monday, 3 more 17P injections to go! It's kinda surreal, honestly never believed we would get this far.
BFP#2 3/16/11, beta 138; 4/12 Baby/HB DS born 9/10/11 at 29w4d due to partial abruption and PTL
BFP#3 8/19/13 Another boy! 17P, modified bedrest and Nifedipine helped us have a termie! DS2 born 4/19/14 at 38w5d.
I pray that things continue to go well and LO stays put. There are May moms already dealing with PPROM and it's kind of freaking me out! I'm a week and 2 days away from when I had DS. I'm hoping once I get past that, I can really relax.
@haziedays - Love the great update! 34 weeks is awesome. I'm jealous you only have 3 shots left! Stay cozy in there, baby!
@flergirl - Good news about the urine catch, but I'm sorry to hear about the BP. I'm glad you are taking it easy and relaxing! I'll be hoping that you get a good reading next week.
@Bluebird2318 35 weeks-that's awesome! You got this!
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
@jcsntms06 Oh my goodness-what an adorable picture of Annabelle and Caroline! They are both so beautiful! And growing up too fast, just as mine are. :-)
@flerlgirl T&Ps
@takmjs congrats!!!!
I've been MIA out of nerves and nothing to add and an insane work schedule but I have something to add. We went to the MFM yesterday. If you remember I mentioned wanting to a bit back. The doctor said that his diagnosis was severe gestational hypertension. he did not diagnose me with pre-e because there was no protein. Anyway he said that he thinks we have a good chance of going to term if we conceive again! he would put me on a baby aspirin regimen (I've started that already) and I would have an extra glucose test early on, a 24 hour protein catch early on and some additional testing early on to get my baseline numbers for future testing. I would likely have additional ultrasounds as well to make sure the baby stays on the growth curve. He will likely have me monitor my BP at home daily too. Other than that he said everything will be "normal" as far as my medical treatment goes. He said that the chance of it happening again is reduced in a second pregnancy but that I am still at a higher risk than the normal population. As far as he was concerned, I was extremely low high risk... which is good.
he added that if I have severe hypertension before 34 weeks they will try to get me to that time (like last time) but they will have to balance it with the risks to me (again like last time which is why I went at 31 weeks) if I get it after 34 I will deliver immediately (hopefully they give steroids first!) if it is mild hypertension they will only let me go to 37 weeks and deliver then.
they told me I can keep trying to lose weight and that will help a bit. I am only mildly overweight so it wasn't a huge concern.
so the plan for now is to get my mirena out in May and start TTC in June... I'm super nervous but excited now as well. I just want a baby to take home with me from the hospital. i want to feel normal! but I also know that if it doesn't work out that way we will be ok.... so I am finding peace in knowing we all made it through the first time.
