Re: PGAL Check In - 01/01
Any appointments coming up? I have my MFM appt and possibly my amnio tomorrow morning.
Questions? None at the moment
How are you doing? (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here). Doing okay I guess. I really still don't want to do this amnio. I hate the risk and I'm scared of getting a bad result.
GTKY: Did you get any awesome loot this year? What was your favorite gift that you received, and what was your favorite gift that you gave? DH and I didn't do gifts this year. Our Christmas was a trip to Florida haha. Even though it was technically for medical reasons.
How far along are you?
23+4
Any appointments coming up?
Just a regular one next week.
Questions?
Any STMs feeling more scared about labor/birth this time around? I've started really worrying and sweating all the things that could go wrong or differently than last time. I feel like it was easier when I hadn't already been through it. Maybe that's weird!
How are you doing?
Good! I'm really happy to be almost 24 weeks. The viability chart that was posted this week was really encouraging to see.

MH and I just did stocking stuffers this year because we have been spending a ton on house projects recently. He got me a pair of fuzzy, grippy socks/slippers that I love. I'm about some fuzzy socks always. Favorite gift given was DD's play kitchen. She loves it!
@kbamomma33 I feel you on the birth nerves. I think the first time around I was just younger and after first tri the pregnancy went so smoothly that I just assumed a healthy birth. I feel like I have more anxiety about the birth this go around.
25 weeks
Any appointments coming up?
I had labs drawn this morning but nothing until 1/22 unless labs come back bad.
Questions?
I’m thinking about starting a high risk check in. I feel badly venting to dd all the time and taking over other posts but I feel like I need some commeraderie from other moms riding anxiety roller coaster with me!

I know there is no such thing as “jinxing” your pregnancy but I’m feeling so crushed after hitting the emotional relief point of viability to getting diagnosed with choleostasis a week later. I feel like I’ve gotten more “attached” to this nugget than I let myself with my previous pregnancies and I’m really frightened of the stillbirth risk as we as the risk of prematurity. After my first miscarriage i have kept a distance from babies in utero emotionally to protect myself and I suddenly am feeling like I let my guard down and I’m about to be crushed again.

barnes and noble gift cards (totaling $140!). My first purchase was the illustrated version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone! I started reading a chapter a night to DD who just turned 6. She’s really getting into the story and loves the pictures! I love hearing her talk about the plot lines and what she picks up!
