PGAL- March

Hi Ladies- Happy March!!
I know most of us experienced early pregnancy losses- but as we head into the 3rd Trimester (eeek that is starting in March) I know we will start hitting trigger weeks for later loss mamas. Plus I know I had anxiety going into the home stretch with DD, so don't feel like you are alone if you are starting to hit high anxiety again. Starting the March thread as a place to rant without judgement about all the anxiety you are feeling -especially as everyone is expecting you to be super excited. Fingers crossed that we all have healthy- non eventful 3rd trimesters.

Re: PGAL- March
Booked my cevical exam for next Thursday. Spoke with my H about the whole situation and he'd rather assume nothing's wrong before jumping to assumptions.
He's very "go with the flow" which works because I'm exact opposite. We've already looked at the budget for when I'm off, so we're not concerned about that part.
Until we get answers, we both discussed me doing less. Nothing strenuous to ensure if there is an issue, we're not making it worse.
Crazy to think we're all almost in 3rd trimester!
I really need to get to the point where I can do kick counts. I hate how long I go without feeling him sometimes. It sends me into a panic and I know that’s not helpful.
I’m 22+4 today and I lost my daughter at exactly 24 weeks. I’m scared to get to that date but excited to get past it.
I hope everone’s pregnancies keep going well and are uneventful.

@profmcgonagall I’ve been thinking of you and hope these next few weeks fly by for you.
AFM, the worst I’m dealing with anymore is nightmares. TW: Like I’ll dream I went into labor and had her super early, and I know at almost 27 weeks her chances would be decent, but in my dreams they tell me she’s perfectly fine and breathing on her own and send me home with this preemie where I find out that’s obviously not the case. So processing those kind of dreams the next morning is pretty rough for me until I feel her start to become active for the day. With DD1 I had some typical worries, but nothing this graphic, so I’m chalking it up to PGAL brain this time. End TW.
I hope everyone else is doing great and is finding some peace with where we are at on this journey!
@profmcgonagall fx for you and for passing this difficult milestone.
i never did exact kick counts with DD. What’s the rule of thumb? I had some Oreos so baby girl is kicking away lol.

and so far the one thing that has helped is a mood scale. You rate your mood 1-10 1 being awful 10 being great and then try and improve it.. so say your a 5, what will it take to get you one point up, go for a walk, coffee, take a bath etc and just start from there

I’ve developed insomnia and food aversions
I've been MIA for a while (weeks? A month? I don't even know....) because life has gotten crazy & this little one is sure making his mark. Diagnosed as gestationally diabetic at 25 weeks, and had a high-risk US because despite 3 ultrasounds, they simply could not get clear images of his heart. Perhaps the coolest US ever. We got to see his WHOLE HEART, thank goodness... as well as brain activity, blood flow, they measured his bones, counted his fingers and toes, checked for urine in his bladder and fluid in the belly. Seriously a scary appointment to walk into but such an amazing experience.
sending all the good vibes to you ladies coming up on tough milestones!!
Last night we had spinach pizza - which I love - and I could barely finish one slice. I just didn't want it.
I have been having racing heart and shortness of breath and was concerned about my bp but I got an at home monitor and it’s been fine. DH asked if anxiety is the cause. I have been anxious thinking about everything coming up but I’m also reading that they are also both 3rd trimester symptoms, I just don’t remember having them with DD.
@2589 Definitely not vertigo.
Currently in the hospital for threatened preterm labor. I started having regular contractions so I went in.
My cervix is closed but funneling which is a change from 3 weeks ago. My FFN was positive which means I have a 25% chance of
delivering in the next week.
Currently getting lots of meds to prevent contractions and help baby’s lungs. Contractions have basically stopped at this point so I’m hoping we will be on the good sides of those odds.

They checked my cervix again tonight and it’s still closed. I’m staying another night for monitoring and they are hoping to send me home tomorrow on bedrest as long as nothing else changes. I’m not feeling contractions very often, less than every two hours at this point. Baby Boy is still kicking away.
Its been such a scary day but I’m hoping he stays put for a few more weeks at least.
