I spent the afternoon at the hospital with high blood pressure. It came down after they took it a few times, but one of my liver enzymes is up and there is some protein in my urine so I'm doing a 24 hour catch Sunday into Monday then back to the hospital to repeat labs and do a NST. I'm trying hard to not freak out. This is basically what happened with DD and I passed the urine catch at this point and failed it at 37 weeks. My body doesn't pregnancy well.

Tlex, thank you, same goes for you if you need to complain (or anyone else). Carrying babies is hard!

Oh I’m sorry, if they’re sending you home that’s a good sign you still have some time right? It sucks when you feel like your body is letting you down.

tapdancer Sorry for the long day and added stress. I hope you get good results on Monday. Eames I only have half the baby in my abdomen, but I was just telling someone today that I need my job to make reasonable accommodations for me to have my full desk setup but at a nice recliner because that is the only position I am comfortable in. I seriously go from sitting to standing to kneeling in my desk chair every 10 minutes. I can’t get comfortable at work at all.

Just got my results back from my 1hr... failed with a 184. Thank goodness I have an appt today. But I’ve already been nervous about getting pre e a second time now I feel like it’s just a for sure thing for me. I feel like I’m so bad at being pregnant. It leaves me scared for the rest of this pregnancy and makes me feel like it’s not worth it to have a third.

All the hugs nmom! I’m sorry you failed the 1 hour. Will you do the 3 hour test now? I know it’s scary, but healthy babies are born all the time from diabetics and mothers with GD as long as it is properly managed. More hugs!

Ugh...so one of my dogs got either skunk sprayed or she found a dead skunk and rolled in it 🤢. Bless my H...he has already bathed her twice, bathed the puppy once (he was licking her face where the skunk spray was), and he cleaned the bathroom and washed the towels.
I’ll head to the store a little bit later to find deskunk and then probably bathe them both again. Happy Friday...ugh! The whole house smells like skunk spray.

I spent 4+ hours last night dealing with prodromal labor contractions. I had them with DS2 also. I'm so glad my midwife warned me that I would likely have them again. My body just knows how to get ready to expel babies. I'm tired today though.

I'm sorry nmom Good luck on the 3 hour if you're doing it! orangehibiscus, omg why do they lick each other when they're gross? My lab was just lazily licking my spaniel's feet the other day when I let them in from being outside. Apparently some dirt makes them more delicious? Horkkkk.

Someone needs to take away my credit card and make me back away from the clearance section of the OshKosh website. $6 hoodie? DON'T MIND IF I DO.

Eames sorry your in so much pain. I can’t imagine twins, I get a lot of pain with just one in there. Be careful with too much heat. I used it daily for a few hours my last pregnancy and actually burned my back. It is called something, but I don’t remember. It didn’t hurt but I had weird lines on my back for months. I’m trying to be more careful this time, but heat is the only thing that helps. nmom sorry your feeling so anxious. I failed my one hour too and am doing my 3. Hour right now. It is scary to feel like your body isn’t doing what it needs to. orangehibiscus sorry your dealing with that. No fun!

What is the spectra pump everyone was saying they like 1 or 2? I got the 1 because of the built in battery. Otherwise they are the same from what I could tell.

What is the spectra pump everyone was saying they like 1 or 2? I got the 2 because it's what my insurance covered and I have 24 hour access to a plug... but the battery and weight are the only differences I could tell.

What is the spectra pump everyone was saying they like 1 or 2? I also requested the Spectra 2, because that's what my insurance covered. I think the difference is the battery pack.

Did someone post a list of the random baby things to buy, or am I imagining that? I might be confusing this with the hospital bag list, but I was trying to start a list of all the little random things I need to buy still.

Sorry I suck at tagging everyone I liked the comments and I’ll just make one post to update. Thank you everyone I slightly lost it in the MOTN thankfully I had the appt this morning. That poor nurse I basically threw my pee at her and was like check this this gets checked for protein right now right checked it she was small talking with me... I totally cut her off my husband said and asked if it looked good😬 it did. I sobbed, I was a mess I was just so relieved to hear that. My husband explained between previous pre e with DD and now GD possibly I was just overall a mess she assured me that they aren’t related... she took my blood pressure and didn’t tell me the numbers. She said it was higher then normal but still good... and I was crying. I’ll take it. Off to schedule the 3 hour next. Thinking of you tapdancer I hope your BP stays down too❤️
