PAIF Check-in Week of March 12

[Rama]

SO SO SORRY I MISSED LAST WEEK.  Staying home really messed with me 'cause I usually post while at work.  I'll try to be better these last couple of weeks!!  Speaking of which, I'm coming to the end of this part of my pregnancy, is there anyone that would like to take over this check in once Iggy arrives?  Let me know and I'll send you my template!





This check-in is for anyone who is pregnant (in any trimester) after struggling with infertility.

First time checking in? Congrats! We are glad to see you over here. If you’d like to be added OR updated, please TAG ME (rama) in your post and answer the following:

1. Your EDD
2. How many, if you know, beans you have cooking?
3. Boy or girl (if you know) or team green if you're not finding out?
4. What treatment got you your BFP?

For everyone else:

1. How far are you now?
2. Symptom check:
3. What and when is your next appointment?
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group?

Symptom check: I can't move, I can't sleep, I can't stop doing things
What and when is your next appointment? Today! OB and NST
Anything you’d like to share with the group? Sorry again for missing the check in last week. My whole schedule and rhythm has been thrown off by staying home and I'm neck-deep in a billion things I need to get done in the next couple of weeks still. I might be freaking out just a tad.

[birch113]

Rama thanks for the check in! I hope you’re able to cross some things off your to do list!

AFM

1. How far are you now? 24+2

2. Symptom check: nauseous/vomiting, so tired, heartburn, etc.

3. What and when is your next appointment? I’m supposed to have a growth scan for my ovarian cyst (and a peek at baby girl) this afternoon, but it’s snowing and most things are closed, so I’m assuming it will be cancelled. I have a regular OB appointment Friday.

4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I am so overwhelmed with all we have to do. We really need to start getting things together over here!

You can remove me from the check in. Good luck with everything!

I had my baby Monday, March 5. He weighed 9lbs 8oz and is 21 inches long. He had a 2 day stay in the NICU due some low heart rates, but all is well now. We are home and figuring out the new “normal”. Here is a picture:

woodenshoes congratulations!!! He is adorable! I love his hair!

[longhornwino]

I had a behbeh back in February! Noah was born on 2/22 at 9:52pm. 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches long. I started induction the night before, and by dinner on the 22nd, I was only at a 6-7. An hour later, I was demanding they take out my catheter because I felt like my bladder was going to explode. Baby was here about 30 minutes later. My epidural must have been off center a bit because my left side never fully went numb, so labor was more painful than I anticipated. We stayed an extra night due to jaundice and have been home for about two and a half weeks now ❤️

Rama, Thanks for the check in. I can take over for you, especially because I'm the most junior.
birch113, Hope you got a chance to see your baby girl. I'm right there with you on realizing how much we have to do to get ready.
woodenshoes, Congrats! He's adorable. Hope you all are adjusting well at home.
longhornwino, Congrats! I'm glad to hear you're home and doing well.


How far are you now? 23 weeks
Symptom check: Some heartburn and reflux, otherwise just sore and tired by the end of the day
What and when is your next appointment? Fetal echo tomorrow with the mfm
Anything you’d like to share with the group? I made it past my loss date!

[Rama]

birch113 I still am not caught up on all the stuff I need to do. I hope you have better luck! Did you get your scan done or was your appointment rescheduled?

Dogpaddle29 Congrats! Happy birthday to your sweet babes!!

woodenshoes He's gorgeous! Glad his stay in the NICU was short and he's home safe now!

longhornwino I'm glad everything went relatively smoothly, despite the epidural semi-fail. Yay for getting to go home without a long NICU stay and that everything is going well!

bananas22 I'll PM you my template! I usually just save it in a Google Doc for easy editing, so all you have to do is copy and paste each week. Congrats on making it past your loss date!!

Hi all, I guess I go here for now. I found out I’m pregnant on Friday, after 4years of trying! I’d love to join the check-in Rama

1. EDD - Nov 22 (Thanksgiving).
2. Don’t know how many yet. I have my first appt scheduled for April 17 (hopefully I’ll go in a little earlier though)
3. Team Green
4. I had an SIS this cycle, otherwise just timed intercourse! We were starting a clomid cycle next cycle 😂

I’m so excited and nervous right now
TW Loss mentioned

I have had three miscarriages (at 6, 8, & 12wks), and am really nervous until the first tri is over
