[minae01]

I'm going to move myself over to the pregnant group. I got my BFP on 7/19. EDD 3/31/16! 3 u 3.5!

[tngrl3]

I'm officially the most pregnant I've ever been! Things are going well. Not too much to report. My blood sugar numbers are still looking good with just diet changes and hopefully they will stay that way. My next appointment is Friday and then they start being weekly. We are still watching growth as at my last scan she had dropped 34th to 24th % with abdomen and legs lagging a little behind the head.

[jense927]

Congrats minae01! We are still TTC. On month 8 now, cycle 7. Right now I am 6 DPO so just hanging out and hoping this month is it. I ovulated much earlier this cycle than last which I am taking as a good sign.

[wicked22]

Congrats minae01. So far at 13 weeks things aren't much different baby wise /body wise. I am less stressed even with a 10mo this year and hopefully it will stay that way.

[minae01]

jnetx, Congratulations on your beautiful (full-term!) baby boy! I hope you are adjusting well at home. Thanks for the update!

[minae01]

jense927, I'm hoping so hard that you can join me over on April '16!!!

[jense927]

Aww Congrats on the healthy baby boy and the short stay jnetx!!

I will be 22 weeks tomorrow. Still doing P17 shots but suddenly shot sites from 2-4 weeks ago are itchy and bugging me, anyone else have a delayed reaction? Did it get worse after time (I have had 6 shots)? I am worried it is annoying now but will be way worse in another month?? GD seems to be rearing it's ugly head, I will do an early GTT in 2 weeks, yuck!

Yes, this sounds like my reaction. It got worse each time. My last one was at 35 weeks and my reaction was so bad my doctor let me skip the last one (DS came on the day I would've gotten it, so it didn't make a difference!) It's totally worth it, though, to keep that baby in for a little while longer.

[stuntmanmillie]

I'm 34w2d! Currently 3cm & 50% effaced and just laying around on bed rest waiting. I was in L&D all weekend getting magnesium and steroid shots so at this point, if I go into labor, baby is coming. We're just hoping I hold on for as long as possible! But it feels good to have made it this far.

[direy25]

minae01, thank you so much for taking this over! And congrats on the BFP!

Csection is tomorrow, holy cow! I'll be 37w5d. Wish I could keep her cooking a bit longer but this is the latest my OB wanted to push it because I had a vertical incision with DS. Definitely feeling emotional - grateful that my body did what it was supposed to this time around but a bit angry that I couldn't do that for DS. Super excited to meet our little girl though!

[direy25]

Thanks jnetx!

[minae01]

So exciting direy25! Wishing you an easy delivery and smooth recovery! Update when you can.

[jense927]

direy25, Good luck today!!! So excited for you!

[runningmommy519]

Hope it went good direy25!

[runningmommy519]

I'm having a hard time. I prayed almost every night that I'd have a full term with no NICU/hospital stay, but here we are. Day 27.... No end in site. We're waiting for DS2 to eat his full feeds and he's not there yet.

He'll be 39 weeks gestation tomorrow. It sucks that I have to do this again.

Hugs, I am so sorry you are feeling that way. That is so rough. I'm praying that things turn around quickly for you and you can take him home soon. 

[minae01]

Hugs, runningmommy519. I'm so sorry that you're still there. You will be home soon, even if it doesn't seem like that right now. Hang in there, momma! You're so strong!

[runningmommy519]

Yes. We're just waiting for him to figure out eating. I decided I wanted him home more than I wanted to nurse him. So we're doing more bottles and less breastfeeding. Once he's home we'll slowly introduce the breast more,

[direy25]

Hugs runningmommy519. I hope he figures it out quickly and that you can transition to BF at home. I'm so sorry you are going through this again.

I for one am glad at least someone from our BMB didn't get a preemie again. i think it was you, me and liv that had preemies last time. So so happy for you direy25

Thank you so very much runningmommy519, I really appreciate it. It's still a little surreal!
