Last week Updates:

vsalt31: Just stopping by to give updates on her two kiddos! DS is now 2 1/2 and loves
singing/dancing, swimming, chocolate milk, and his little sister! He loves to read and show her different things. DD was a 35 weeker but did not need NICU time. She is now 7 months old and been good with BFing. They have decided that they are 2 and through and she feels complete! What a wonderful feeling and it's so great to hear from you @vsalt31 !

We always welcome updates from our mommies well after our babies our born!

cbranch89: NT scan was good, but cerclage placement did not go well-but she was able to recover without further issues than back pain.

megs2011: Getting close to previous milestone and making her more nervous. At 28 weeks, fundal height was measuring 2 weeks behind-OB says it is fine, but after having twins with IUGR, it is understandable why she would be so worried and wants additional monitoring/growth scans. @megs2011 Did you bring that up at your appt?

Pips09: Waiting for results of NT scan. FX that everything is well!

PhillyGal34: First appt is on August 8! Can't wait to hear about that wondeful heartbeat!

mmooki: Fatigue is starting to disappear which helps having an energetic 2 year old! How did your appt and NT scan go on Tuesday?

Re: Pregnant & TTC After A Preemie 07/17/14

  • I am stalking all up in this piece. Hi, former check-in buddies!





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

  • @flerlgirl This is why I love doing the weekly check-ins! I can't believe that we already have 2015 due dates! Seems like yesterday that I announced my BFP and the birth of DD.

    How are your kiddos doing?

  • Loading the player...
  • It's crazy how time flies by!! My kidlets are good! DS is starting to crawl and gets to start OT and speech therapy for eating so I am super excited about that. And DD is just a plain old "normal" baby. So dull. But she is a sweetie!

    How are your kids? How's your FIL?





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

    Nt scan went great. Everything looks good and I go back to Mfm in 3 weeks for an early anatomy scan. I also start progesterone shots then as well, at my ob's office.

  • That's great to hear that Josh is starting OT and speech. I bet he will do well! I love their new pic in your sig-so cute!

    DS is starting kindergarten in the fall-getting all choked up about that as I type...DD is surprising us all the time about what she is capable of doing since apparently I am "adjusting" her age and milestones to DS's. LOL! Like she just drank out of a straw and we were like "Holy sh@t!" DS didn't master that until he was 3. :)

    Thanks so much for asking about FIL-wow you have good memory! We were told he told he wasn't going to make it or have to be in a nursing home. Well-prayers must have worked or he got Noah's super preemie powers of defying odds cause he is home! He didn't even need the trach surgery either! He made it to the kids' birthday party several weeks ago. One of the nurses asked him "So how does it feel to be the miracle patient?"

  • Haha, I know what you mean. With DD I'm already amazed... I can just imagine how it will be when she gets older. Exciting about kindergarten! Is he looking forward to it?

    Awesome about your FIL! That's incredible. It must have been the sweet little note your son wrote!





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

  • I think he's excited about kindergarten, but afraid at the same time. We put him through 3 years of preschool to make sure that he had social interactions since he was an only child for 5 years. I know that will help since he makes friends at the park all the time. However, being the overprotective preemie mommy that I am, still worried to death that he will be teased for his eye and won't make friends.

  • I didn't even have to bring it up at my appt really. We talked about my blood pressure being awesome and hoping it stays that way. I asked what my chances are of getting pre-e again and iugr again and he said of course bc I had twins I was at increased risk and the chances are lower this time. But then he proceeded to say that he's sending me for another u/s and blood work after my next appt just to make sure everything is ok. This has eased my anxiety on that matter. I am still on edge till I pass that milestone. About 3.5 weeks from now.

                              

  • We found out we are having a little boy, the anatomy scan went great. Still no blood clots in sight, blood flow to the placenta is also great. I did fail my GD test so I will be doing the 3 hour one on 7/25. Baby boy weighs 10 oz, my OBGYN said baby might be bigger since both of my girls measured small.

    I would worry, too! It's hard not to. I bet he will find some good friends, though! If anyone teases him you can send them to me. Children fear me.

  • Appointment on Friday went great. Dr did a speculum exam to check the cerclage and I got to see baby because he thinks he wont find a hb via doppler. Follow up on 8/1 before his vacation

  • So glad to see all the great updates!

    We are 6w4d and I am starting to feel like junk.  I keep reminding myself that this is a good thing and that it means my body is doing what it should be doing.  We have our first appt and u/s in a few weeks so until then I will be scared about viability (as far as a viable pregnancy goes) but I think everyone does that. 

    So for now we are just trying to get through the fatigue and nausea and I live for sleep.  I just got to work and I'm already counting down to when i can leave and wondering if I can leave early to take a nap before DS comes home.

    @flerlgirl LOL! I am a teacher and have the teacher look down of "What the hell do you think you're doing?"  I am glad to send DS to a school where I don't teach cause I will hunt kids down who are mean to him. :)
