Last week Updates:
Congratulations to haziedaze who gave birth to her son, Liam Alexander at 38w5d and weighed 6lbs 11oz!!! Holy cow-I remember when she was having contractions about midway through the pregnancy, but thankfully, baby held on for much longer! Enjoy your full term baby boy! So happy for you!
Bluebird2318: 39 weeks! Still 1cm dilated, 50% effaced, and OB could feel baby's head! All good signs for a VBAC and docs will most likely let her go to 42 weeks.
rslhmg: BH has started and doc saw more on the monitor. He is happy that she is off her feet for at least the next week. If the number goes down, she will be let up for a little bit. If not, she will be on bedrest for the duration of pregnancy. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that LO stays in for at least a couple of more weeks.
flergirl: 32w1d and loving it! Doc still thinks that she will deliver early, but will not schedule her RCS. DH can feel Jenna's kicks from the outside. yay!
mrsdbc: Had real contractions; Doc ordered blood work and should hear results in 2 weeks unless it is an emergency. Please send thoughts and prayers that everything is ok. On last vial of P17 shots! Has only gained half a pound in the last several weeks so she has to eat more.
MinaE01: 4-5cm dilated and OB let her go home, but would most likely be admitted to L&D the next day (at 36 weeks). She will update us as soon as she can! Please send thoughts and prayers for safe and uneventful delivery.
megs2011: She is 17w4d and doing well! Starting to feel movement from the outside and can't wait for the anatomy scan!

Re: Pregnant & TTC After A Preemie 4/21/14
So i dont have to go on bed rest (yay, this week was enough, i was going nuts lol) I'll be 35 wks tomorrow and dr said once I hit 36 if I go into labor hes gonna let me go. Getting so close! Fingers crossed I get all 5 wks in, but I'll gladly take just 1 if thats what lo wants to do. My friends who have kids think I'm crazy because I'm so happy to be uncomfortable lol.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
@MinaE01 Max is absolutely perfect!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!
@rslhmg YAY for no best rest! I hope you get to be uncomfortable for a really really long time!!!
@bluebird2318 Happy anniversary and congrats! FULL TERM!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited for all of you!!!!
I made my appt to get my IUD out on 5/5!!!! only about 10 days to go! then we will avoid for a cycle before we start TTC. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I keep having feelings about twins which scare me so much but I am sure they don't mean anything :-) I can't wait to have something to update haha
