this pregnancy really has been rough and i hate complaining about it after trying so hard and having so many losses but the reality is, being pregnant just sucks. DH and I have already decided we are going to be one and done because it's just been too much physically & mentally
also i have a good friend who has had 3 perfect pregnancies who tries to be supportive but she really does not get how hard it is having a high risk pregnancy and sometimes i feel like just rolling my eyes so hard at her.. DH had to stop coming to my weekly ultrasounds because his blood pressure would shoot up from stress and she looked at me like i was crazy and asked why he was so anxious during the appointments... smh

I totally feel you pregnancy sucks. I also feel bad complaining because we lost two last year and I would have given anything, even all this to not have lost them. But that doesn’t mean that all this doesn’t suck too.
DH is petrified to not come to appointments with me. He’s so scared I’ll get bad news there (TW......we had a missed miscarriage so found out at an ultrasound). He’s missing out on money to be at them. He doesn’t have sick leave.
He’s talking adoption for any subsequent children. He feels helpless and I don’t think could stand to watch me go through this again. I think if I could get to a healthier starting weight we might have a slightly easier time next time. But who knows.
People just dont get the complications unless they’ve been there. It’s not the same when you haven’t walked out of every appointment with something new to worry about.
Aending hugs and hoping things get better for you. It’s a lot.

@harleyquinn0621 - I am so sorry for the stress and anxiety you are going through. I am so thrilled that you are hitting third tri!!! I'm thinking of you and sending you tons of support. Your anxiety and your worry is completely 100% valid. You are doing everything you can for that beautiful little baby and you're absolutely kicking ass! Can't wait to hear the update from the growth scan tomorrow!
@Stac928 - Holy crap that's a lot of insulin! Are you on Humalog for your meal time? My MFM started me on like 2-4 units and we've been slowly increasing as my need increases. Are you currently on a long-acting? Do you mind me asking what your post meal time numbers were before the insulin? Sorry so many questions, this is such a tough road to navigate and it's 1000x worse when you feel like your voice isn't being heard. Sending you hugs too, I'll be stalking for your update on Friday!

Husband has started home with me since i called him from the hospital, making me food and doing stuff around the house. He's been really great, and my friends are all concerned and dropping by which is nice.
But my mom had a stroke on Monday as well, hasn't woken up yet, and i can go visit her out of state now. I'm having a hard time handling it of course. That is woeryiwo me more right now.

So last time I would get so anxious before each one but then when I left I had this enormous sense of relief. Getting that reassurance 2x a week really does help with the worry! And the time passes soooo fast because there's the monitoring, the growth scans, the 2x month Dr appts, and I had separate MFM appts and then the random stuff like a 24 hour urine catch towards the end.
It's getting real, ladies!!!

@Stac928 - good luck with the talk with your doctor tomorrow - I hope you find a dosage that works for you! Not that it helps at all but every time I get a new dosage adjustment it takes a few days of feeling crummy before I start to get used to the new dosage. I'll be stalking for updates!

@Stac928 How frustrating! I'm hopeful that you and your doctor can find a happy balance that works.
@harleyquinn0621 I'm feeling overwhelmed and unprepared the closer things get to the end as well, especially being in the process of moving. Everything is boxed up, and I feel like I'm stuck in limbo in more ways than one.
@mrsbubbles-2 I'm glad things went well.
How far along are you?
After week 32 they're going to start making me come down twice a week for AFI/NST, which while it sounds worthwhile in the end, having to drive an hour down there and an hour back home twice a week is going to suck. And with gas prices back above $3/gal again? Ugh!
Met with a new, different NP at my sugar check yesterday and I really liked her. She said my numbers were really good, and I looked at her like she had three heads. I'm a perfectionist, I hate a 124 when it should be 120 or less. She reassured me that I'm doing really well. I still wasn't buying it. Then she said that I was doing so much better than most of her patients, that a 200+ illicits a "no big deal" reaction from a lot of them. It did make me feel a little better, lol.
I also got my Tdap shot yesterday. I always have funky reactions to them, so it's already swelled up and hurts like a mofo.

OB appt this morning - everything looks good, just the normal pee in a cup, doppler appt. But we're moving to 2x month appts and she brought up the induction date for the first time today! She said we're going to aim for 39 weeks unless my sugars go bonkers at the end or baby looks like she's not doing well. So August 10th-ish is looking like the date!

baby is 3 lbs 4 oz. measuring about 3 days ahead and in the 51 percentile. So we are doing good.
Placenta still right up against the cervix so still on track to have a c section between 36 and 37 weeks.
Doctor reduced my long acting insulin by 10% and is fine with my 4 units at breakfast and lunch and 6 at dinner. So it looks like we are doing ok with blood sugars. We are on weekly appointments so she will check again next week. But at least I feel functional right now.
Blood pressures are lookinf good. My 24 hour urine catch looked normal for protein. She’s less worried about pre eclampsia than she was last week. Again on weekly appointments and she warned it can come on fast. So I’m still BID blood pressures at home.
Overall a much better aopointment than last week! Much better news.
I lost weight again but she’s not worried about that unless baby stops growing. And baby is growing fine right now. So she said just keep doing what I’m doing.

@neeraja_k the traveling for an appointment does suck. I'm about 30 minutes from my OB and the hospital. We started weekly appointments this week. Right now each with a growth scan and a BPP. Soon (but I can't remember which week) the NST will be added to that as well. It seems like I spend more time at the doctor than at work. I can't imagine twice a week. I'm sure you're right, it's worth it in the end but ugh in the mean time.
Can I say that this is one of the few places I feel safe to complain about pregnancy. I feel like most people get really judgy about it given my history of loss. That I should just be grateful. I am grateful but that doesn't make any of the rest of this easier. It might be my own self imposed judgment I'm projecting on others but it feels like there is no room to complain usually.
