It's been a while since I have been on TB but wanted to stop by to say hi and to announce that I was pregnant with baby #3. I am terrified since this is about 18 months after my 25.4 weeker. Any tips on how to make it through? Thanks

Re: Hey Ladies
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
Congrats friend! If you haven't already, make an appointment with a Maternal Fetal Medicine doctor asap. They monitor high risk pregnancies which you most certainly qualify for after everything you went through with CJ. If I remember right, he came early because of PPROM right? They will come up with a plan for what is the best way to keep you pregnant.
I would ask about progesterone shots which have been proven to help keep preterm labor in check, the likelihood of bedrest so you can plan ahead for work and your boys, and if there are other medications they can put you on (blood pressure, antibiotics, etc depending on your history). Those things have made a huge difference for some of my friends.
I just re-added you on FB (Cora deleted a bunch of my friends!) so if you need to talk, you know where to find me.
