High Risk Check In (10/4)

sqfibemom · October 2016

I don't think I've seen one of these yet. I dunno how many know they're high risk yet but I figured we could get it started.

How far along are you?

What makes you high risk?

Upcoming appts?

R/R?

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be?

mcvgal · October 2016

How far along are you? 9w5d

What makes you high risk? AMA, pre-e/HELLP with DS1, PIH and GD with DS2, and 2 losses. I forgot to mention blood clotting disorder. I don't look so good on paper, but DS was born at 30 weeks, DS2 at 36 weeks so we are hoping I make it to 37 weeks this time.

Upcoming appts? I go back in 2 weeks for a regular monthly appointment.

R/R? Thanks for starting this check-in @sqfibermom

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be?

without a doubt it would be fatigue. I don't like feeling tired all the time!

JonesBaby0624 · October 2016

How far along are you? 6w1d (I think). I saw my regular OB yesterday and she said she would leave the EDD up to my MFM.

What makes you high risk? Hypothyroidism, AMA, 3 previous miscarriages, 2 previous stillbirths, two previous placental abruptions.

Upcoming appts? Friday 10/7, first appointment with MFM

R/R? I'm sorry but I apparently I am feeling pretty salty today!! My fiance moved to Rhode Island in June and now I am here to do this alone. I haven't even told him yet. I am waiting for my first MFM appointment. I need to have some good information to tell him or he will flip his shit and be on a plane headed home before dark.

I am old and I want to sleep ALL THE TIME!! This pregnancy is kicking my ass. I do not have the energy to keep up with my son's soccer schedule. He practices and plays 5 days a week. 2 of those days I have to drive him 30 miles one way to private goalie lessons. Is the ex-husband helping...hell no!!! What happened to TW Tuesday? I could write a book about this guy!!

Ok. I'm better now. Thank you for reading!

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? Morning sickness. There is nothing like puking for 2 hours then heading off to spend the days with other peoples teenagers.

JonesBaby0624 · October 2016

@mcvgal girl you look great on paper!! You will do this!!! We will get these babies here together!!

chickyclg · October 2016

How far along are you? 7w5d

What makes you high risk? Blood clotting disorders and PTL

Upcoming appts? RE on Thursday and hopefully OB on next Wednesday

R/R? My old OB stopped delivering babies and I feel like nobody wants me (I've been turned down by 4 OBs already). My old OB gave me a referral and so far I have an appointment so hopefully that's a good sign.

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? When the symptoms come and go it a major mind fuck.

mcvgal · October 2016

Thanks @jonesbaby0624.

@chickyclg I had no idea a provider could turn you away. Hopefully the new OB is a match for you.

chickyclg · October 2016

@mcvgal yep, I did have a call back from one today asking for my medical records to help them make their decision but the other OB let me schedule so I'm not wasting my time. I keep getting referred to only MFMs instead. Last pregnancy I worked with an OB, MFM, and hematologist.

sqfibemom · October 2016

How far along are you? 6w6d

What makes you high risk? I have pancolitis (ulcerative colitis), previous pregnancy with a baby with a CHD (DS), and my last pregnancy ended with PPROM.

Upcoming appts? Nothing till October 18.

R/R? I went for two walks yesterday and now I'm fairly sure my hip is trying to kill me. I have issues with joint pain/possible arthritis and relaxin seems to make the pain worse

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? For now the sore joints. Relaxin is not my friend in pregnancy and I'd like to not feel like I'm falling apart if possible

sqfibemom · October 2016

@JonesBaby0624 Wow. If you WEREN'T salty I'd be shocked. I can only imagine how stressed and exhausted you are. I feel ya on the exhaustion though, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't nap right now, I'm pretty sure my other three wouldn't be doing any of their activities haha! I look forward to reading your vents about XH, not because you're going through bullshit but because it's good to vent and get it out.
@chickyclg I didn't know it was possible for an OB to turn you down! My MFM is an OB, I thought they all were, so he just handles all of it. I've never had MY OB/MFM deliver one of my kids though which I've always thought is odd..

JonesBaby0624 · October 2016

@sqfibemom I should add that my fiancé moved to RI to work on his PhD at Brown. Otherwise he comes across bad, when in fact it's just the XH that's an asshat!!

sqfibemom · October 2016

@JonesBaby0624 haha I figured he wasn't a douche when you said he'd rush back if you told him you were pregnant without anymore info

Laurieday10 · October 2016

How far along are you?
Approx 7 weeks

What makes you high risk?
Hypothyroidism and epilepsy plus DD2 had growth restriction and low amniotic fluid

Upcoming appts?
First appointment is on Oct 11

R/R?
I can't shake off this cold and today at work I was completely miserable, but I have barely any sick leave and what I do have I need to save for appointments and maternity leave.

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be?
Morning sickness, of course, but in my case it should be renamed evening sickness.

JonesBaby0624 · October 2016

@Laurieday10 do you take synthroid for your thyroid?

Laurieday10 · October 2016

Yep, I've been taking Synthroid for the past 10 years or so

KaitieT · October 2016

How far along are you? 9w1d

What makes you high risk? 3 previous miscarriages, current SCH, and preterm labor with successful pregnancy

Upcoming Appt? Next week another ultrasound to check SCH

R/R? My nerves are off the charts and I'd really like to relax and enjoy a pregnancy.

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? Ugh, constipation and gas. Worst I've ever experienced!

aditi02 · October 2016

How far along are you? 7w 5d

What makes you high risk? Had preeclampsia with hellp syndrome. Lost my first daughter due to this. She was born at 25 weeks

Upcoming Appt? In 2 weeks

JonesBaby0624 · October 2016

@KaitieT I understand those nerves! I also really want to be able to settle down and enjoy this. I feel like I am tense all the time, which I think can't possibly be helping. It turns into my crazy vicious cycle. Hugs!

jhorlia · October 2016

I'm new here, hope it's ok to jump in.

How far along are you? Not sure yet, between 6 & 8 weeks, this was a surprise baby

What makes you high risk? This is my 5th pregnancy (1 loss at 16 weeks). GD with all 4 and this will be my 4th c-section plus persistent anemia and history of polyhydramnios

Upcoming appts? Dating ultrasound on the 11th, checkup on the 20th. Waiting to hear from the MFM OB for my first appointment with them

R/R? Sorry, I'm new here, I don't know what this stands for

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? The complete exhaustion. So far the nausea isn't bad but soooooo tired!

mia1116 · October 2016

How far along are you? 9w2d

What makes you high risk? Carrying twins and I'm 38, will be 39 when they're born.

Upcoming appts? Not until the 24th

R/R? I've started to show, and everyone who knows it's twins feels the need to tell me how huge I'm going to be. Um, thanks, just what every hormonal pregnant woman wants to hear.

If you could tell one of your pregnancy symptoms to fuck off which would it be? The nausea and vomiting are finally letting up thanks to Zofran and diclegis. Now the complete exhaustion has set in. With a 3 year old, it's hard to have to function being so tired.
