*** Weekend Bedrest Check-in ***

in High-Risk Pregnancy
Hi ladies, I hope everyone had a fairly easy week. Congrats on making it to the end of another week!!

*I'll only be posting one check-in for this weekend but please feel free to leave comments for both days if you'd like*

Also, I'm looking for someone to take over the Bedrest Check-in's. If you're interested please speak up, the check-in's really help to encourage and keep br moms connected with one another....

So... how did you sleep?

Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions?

Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?)

QOTWknd: Have you and DH/SO chosen LO's name? Are you sharing the name choice with family and friends yet? Is it a family name or does it have significant meaning to you? What is the name you chose? Or names you are considering...

Open Topic: What's on your mind today?

    Day 3 of modified bed rest and I'm so.effing.bored. I have an appointment on Wednesday. My blood pressures have been great being at home. But earlier, I took a shower and that raised it. Ugh.

    Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions? Nothing really. I have always had an aversion to lasagna when I am pregnant though. I have no idea why, it just sounds so gross.

    Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?) My next follow up is in 5 days. I had a FFN test and it came back negative (I am currently 25 weeks). I am looking at 28 weeks as a milestone and then going in weekly increments after that. My goal is  35 weeks but ideally 37+. Like I said though, I am starting small and looking at 28 as my first goal :)

    QOTWknd: Have you and DH/SO chosen LO's name? Are you sharing the name choice with family and friends yet? Is it a family name or does it have significant meaning to you? What is the name you chose? Or names you are considering... We have a name picked out. It is a family name, but that isn't why we chose it. We like classic names. This one will be Theodore (Theo as a nickname).

    Open Topic: What's on your mind today? I am wondering how I am going to stay sane during bed rest. I am a very active person and this is so difficult for me. I am really hoping that things go well, and I get to have modified bed rest/possibly return to work. I doubt that will happen though unfortunately.

    I can definitely understand being bored! Today is only day one at home and I am already going nuts (I was in the hospital for 2 days on bed rest though so technically 3 days in bed I guess). 

    Hopefully things get better for you! Good luck!

    Hi Ladies...

    I'll continue to check in, but guess I'm not really on "bedrest" anymore.

    Nothing much new. Slept ok until DS woke up puking at 5am, so hoping I don't catch it!!

    I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, my last 17P was 6 days ago and should be wearing off. I had a nonreactive NST last Wed, BPP was ok, but I went up to 2x weekly NSTs. This week they are Tues/Fri, hoping he looks good! I'm doing lots of kick counts.

    Still contracting like crazy and I kinda feel like the next 7-10 days will tell me a lot about whether these contractions are a whole lot of nothing or whether it's been the 17P keeping me pregnant... we'll see.

    LO will be Liam Alexander. Liam is technically after my father William and Alexander is a name we liked. We told our parents, priest, and close friends when we asked for prayers when things got scary. We're holding off on telling everyone else till he's born.

    I slept pretty well last night.

    I'm 34 weeks today, which is my first big milestone since being diagnosed with pre-e at 31 weeks! I'm pretty excited about that. Next goal will be 35 weeks so we can deliver at our preferred hospital with our midwife and then after that I'd love to make it to 37 weeks. My next appt is on Tuesday. I'm a little nervous because my blood pressures have been a little bit more labile, but still pretty good overall.

    QOTD: we are naming our little guy Dexter James. My husband's name is Alex so I love the fact that Dexter has an "x" in it, but it's not too crazy of a name like some "x" names can be. We both just really love the name. James is a family name and for some reason I really like the nm jimmy although we probably won't ever call him that. We told our parents and our close friends the name, but haven't told too many other people. I always felt like it was a little weird to call my unborn child by name - like I might jinx something, or what if we changed our minds on what we'd call him? But I'm pretty much over that and we've been referring to him as Dexter for a couple weeks now.

    So... how did you sleep? I haven't slept more than 4 broken hours in about 2 weeks. It's starting to wear on me and I felt myself crabby today:( Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions? Nope but still love my egos! Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?) 28 weeks is my and my MFM's goal. That is on 4/29...so we have 23 days! QOTWknd: Have you and DH/SO chosen LO's name? Are you sharing the name choice with family and friends yet? Is it a family name or does it have significant meaning to you? What is the name you chose? Or names you are considering... If it's a girl it will be Paige Catherine. Catherine is after my mom. If it's a boy I'm starting to think we might not choose one... Some of our choices Phillip, Matthew, Andrew(Drew) and last night DH said maybe Eli which I've loved and he's hated since I met him might be ok! Open Topic: What's on your mind today? I'm having a tough time now with seeing the scale change. I feel like it's out of my control especially with not being able to exercise. I was hoping to run through this pregnancy:( how do you feel ok about it?

    Good evening ladies!!

    Congrats @Fuccimama‌, @Sam0905‌, and @haziedaze‌ on meeting some milestones this week!

    Tomorrow morning I have my cerclage removed!! I'm a little nervous because I've heard it hurts like a mother! But I'm also excited because my Dr's been telling us that he thinks baby will be here soon after removal. T&P please!!

    Commercial:)
    **I'm still looking for someone who would be willing to take over the br check-in's. I know personally, that it really helped to stay connected with other women experiencing something similar to me especially when things looked impossible. Of course, whoever takes over can use their own format and can change whatever they like. If you're interested please let me know.**

    QOTWknd: dh and i have had our LO's name picked out since Christmas but we haven't told anyone yet. As we get closer to delivery everyone has become more curious about her name. We plan on sharing it with everyone on her birth day:) but if y'all promise not to tell I'll let y'all know... her name is Zoie Love. Zoie (zoe) means life which we thought was fitting after we experienced two 2nd tri losses. Love was one of the two middle names we were considering until my Grandma suggested that we name her April Love..... at which point we knew that Love was destined to be lol.

    So excited for you @tracint and hoping your LO is in your arms very soon! I don't think I'm the right person to take on the check in since hopefully I'll be moving on to brighter pasteurs as well, but thank you for doing it all these months!
