Remind us if your risk factors.
High blood pressure. History of pre-e. Overweight
How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Still worried about weight gain, but I'm walking and trying to make good decisions when it comes to food.
Any new challenges? Just continuing to monitor blood pressure daily and keeping an eye on swelling.

We have a Town & Country. Love it! It's definitely handy with the kid and dogs.

Whelp - I think I definitely go here  . Thanks for doing this check-in mkrupar! Remind us if your risk factors - large sch which has caused significant bleeding (internal and external) since 8 weeks, deterioration/thinning of amniotic membranes due to sch (which puts me at high risk for PPROM), stage IV endometriosis, and a 7cm chocolate cyst (endometrioma) on my left ovary. Oye. Been on bed-rest since 8 weeks. How are you feeling? Considering everything I feel okay - I regularly have pain/heaviness in my lower uterus when I stand up, which is likely caused by the sch. I also have really bad heartburn/reflux, sometimes with nausea, esp at night. Any new challenges? None that I can think of - next appointment with MFM is on Thurs, so I guess I will see then. Bonus GTKY: What kind of car do you drive - We have a Honda CRV and love it. Since we live in an urban environment, just one car for the family. |

Remind us if your risk factors. History of pre-e, chronic hypertension and PTL.
How are you feeling? Okay. BP is steady and my cervix measurement last month was "super long" as the sono tech put it. Thursday is my A/S so hopefully it stays that way.
Any new challenges? I started my progesterone shots and they're starting to feel sore. Last weeks injection was really bad (and I still have a little bump at the injection site) but I think it was more the nurse than the actual shot.
Bonus GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? Lexus SUV

At first she refused to tell me what kind of car she got so of course my first guess was a mini van. lol She expected me to make fun of her but I told her you're expecting your third, you need one. |

I swore I'd never drive a minivan. But that was before I had kids and before I got arthritis in my back. I don't care anymore and I love it. I need something easy to get into and easy to get kids into. |

I'm 5'1" and the prospect of hoisting a kid in and out of a big SUV was a non-starter for me, so we went with the minivan. We bought ours pre-owned from CarMax and it was the best decision because we got all the bells and whistles for a non-bells and whistles price.

@duskmonkey Sorry you have found yourself in this group, but I am definitely here to commiserate with . Bedrest is soooooo not my style - but it is what it is. Luckily I have been able to keep working from home (I work in investment/finance), so that has been nice to keep myself occupied during the day. I'll admit - I did start singing the Little Mermaid song, "I wanna be where the people are..." to DH while I was looking out the window the other day. We both got a good laugh |
