I'll be monitored by my RE until 12 wks I think. Then graduate to my OB. I supposed it'll mostly be monitoring my BP and asking me to take it at home too.

Shots in 3rd tri sounds painful! You couldn't do oral pills? I do Lovenox shots in my belly for the 1st tri. It's only been 2 wks and my belly is black & blue.

What are the Lovenox shots for? OUCH.... that doesn't sound fun. I'm currently using the progesterone suppositories, I suppose I'll have to ask him about the different options for the 3rd trimester. Injections don't sound fun and I'm pretty sure these would be weekly.

Lovenox is a blood thinner (daily shots). I was dx with a blood clotting disorder called MTHFR after my 2nd MC.

Will you have to do that throughout the pregnancy? 

I was dx'd with the RH Factor, but I think that's only 2 injections.... you poor girl! Do you give them to yourself?

Since I've never had a clotting issue, my ob prefers to take me off Lovenox after 1st tri. She considers my BP a higher risk factor and doesn't want a blood thinner in my system if I were to need an emergency delivery. Yes, I inject myself each morning. It's ok unless for some reason the needle won't go thru easily. Or if my bruises turn lumpy. Sorry TMI! But it is tueaday

[littlelion]

legalbeagle, My DS is also a daddy's boy. It happened overnight (as soon as I took the boobs away). Every once in a while I get butt hurt that he wants daddy but for the most part enjoy the freedom it affords me. But he does seem to prefer me for bedtime and whenever he's sick, so I get plenty of cuddles. 

[legalbeagle]

littlelion, Me too! But this has been three years now. He also says he loves Daddy and his nanny, but not me. I know it is just a different sort of love but it does sting. I'm the "mean one" who tries to get him to eat vegetables, brush his teeth, teach him manners and, if I'm being totally honest, has a bit shorter temper than Daddy. When it is just the two of us it is great and he's so cute with me, but his love for Daddy is overwhelming.
