@vssbrm - glad to hear you are back home and taking it easy. My OB has me drinking a gallon of water every day. I've never heard of your actual weight in water though. That seems a bit excessive. You know though if they told me I had to sit on my head for an hour a day to keep baby safe, I'd do it. Praying that baby cooks as long as possible. My SIL just had her beautiful baby girl in April at 31 weeks 2 days and she is perfect. It's amazing what they can do now to keep baby in there as long as possible and healthy!
Me: 33 (no known issues)
DH: 33 (lower motility; 0 morphology) TTC since Oct 2013 IVF round 1 January 2016 (w/ ICSI) ER: February 17, 2016; 15 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 11 fertilized Day 5 Blastocysts: 8 sent for PGS - 5 Normal FET date: April 12, 2016 - DS born Dec 7, 2016 IVF round 2: FET : Oct 4 - 1st Beta 188!
@vssbrm glad things have slowed down for you. My SIL had her baby on 9/27 at only 30 weeks - 3lbs 11oz. Spend a month in NICU, but now they are home and she's doing great!! I'm hoping your LO makes it further, but I hope her story gives you some comfort.
I usually don't write on this board, but I will say, all of you ladies give me such strength and hope. In a world where people take their LOs for granted and are so cynical about being parents, y'all are a breath of fresh air. I wish the best for each of you!

Thanks for the prayers ladies. Update on friend: baby is ok, she has a golf ball sized cyst on her ovary. That was the culpreit. They can't do anything about it, so she just has to suck up the pain til it goes away.
