Foxy hrh Thanks ladies 😊 Just glad it wasn’t worse than it was. FX we can find something we like for a decent price so we’re not stuck with a huge car payment. tngrl3 I’m so sorry. Anxiety is the worst. I’m a big worrier when not pregnant and even more so when I am. I hope you’re able to relax a bit. Be kind to yourself, it’s totally normal to worry especially when you have a reason to but when I get in my head I personally try to remind myself that worrying isn’t going to change anything. Hugs!

Well.... I'm officially on pitocin! I guess baby boy is coming tomorrow!
38+4 - I went in for a check today and was almost 3cm dilated and was having some blood pressure spikes. My Dr sent me over to L&D for monitoring. They kept saying everything looks great! So I totally thought I was going home. The next update was they said we're going to induce you 😁!
😮😮😮
So I'm in my L&D suite, they just gave me an ambien, I've got pitocin going, I'm going to try and get some rest while I can. I just wanted to give an update since this was totally unexpected.

Foxy good luck! Today I am 39w4d, the day both ds1 & 2 arrived. I'm convinced this time around I may be pregnant forever. I'll see what the dr says at my appt tomorrow but with the weekend and new years, I'm sure they won't induce me until late next week at the earliest 😞

@amc, That must be a huge weight off your shoulders. With DS2, H's insurance changed a week before he showed up and it wasn't an insurance accepted at the hospital we were registered at. I was majorly freaking out but the new insurance provider and H's company paid the whole hospital bill because of the chaos.

I just got an epidural a couple hours ago. I'm trying to take a nap while I can. My last check had me at 6cm just a bit ago. This is all so crazy. I sent my husband out so he can get something to eat while there is time

I asked to work late today in case my checkup took longer than my lunch hour. It didn't, barely. But I didn't bother taking my normal time off because hey, an extra half hour on my check of overtime. Except when I mentioned how I was glad to go home in 2 hours, my manager asked me to stay until 5:30 because he wanted to get home before roads got gross (they're worse where he lives right now) so I said yes. Tack on an extra 1.5hrs to my day. THEN he asked me to work tomorrow because he was suppose to be the cashier but has to be valet because the valet is sick. *sigh*
I was looking forward to a full weekend off :/

thelittleredm I’m sorry! I know how you feel. Work has been insane for me lately and I’ve been working so late with so much stress. I’m so sorry you had to give up a weekend day. Hugs. Being pregnant we need our days off!!

Hello and happy belated holidays! I’ve been dealing with the usual work/end of year/Christmas stress and joy over here. And also...
I had my sono today to make sure that LO’s kidneys look good (and they do!), but we discovered that his abdomen is measuring too small and my placenta has some calcifications that show premature aging. So that’s a pretty big bummer. I have to be monitored every week and now induced at 38 weeks, if not sooner. And the MFM pretty much told me not to eff around with kick counts - if he’s not moving like usual, do not pass go, do not eat a snack, call my OB and head to L&D.
I was not prepared for this. An induction and a possible preemie/NICU stay were nowhere on my radar, and although I knew he’d be small thanks to genetics, the whole IUGR thing was obviously unexpected. I’m already anxious due to my losses, and I don’t know how I’m going to get through these last weeks without running to L&D every day or going into a panic. I just want to fast forward to a healthy baby in my arms and be past this.

CharlieB big hugs to you. I've been there and am dealing with that some again this time. IUGR can be scary. I was completely blindsided by it with my first. He did end up with NICU time but only for a couple of weeks. He is now your average 6yo. Are they monitoring you extra? If you need to vent or have questions or just need an ear to listen please reach out. I hope that baby stays put as long as possible.

CharlieB hugs! That is a lot to take in. I’m thankful that you have a team that is clearly knowledgeable and prepared, and will do everything to make sure you and baby are healthy and safe. @amc bah, I’m sorry you officially got the third diagnosis. I can understand how it could be a relief to have that uncertainty behind you. I hope the meds help and these last few weeks will be smooth and uneventful!

Thank you. ❤️ It helps to know that so many babes with IUGR go on to be healthy kiddos. My SIL actually had the same issue last with her placenta, and my niece is a perfectly wild one-year-old. I’m holding on to the success stories. I see my OB on Wednesday, and we’ll figure out a plan then. MFM mentioned weekly BPPs, and I’ll push for all the monitoring possible.

@amc Ugh, I’m sorry for the ICP diagnosis yet again, but glad that they’re being proactive and following you closely. I hope that the itchiness isn’t too unbearable and that LO stays in there for as long as possible.

CharlieB &@amc sorry to hear about that! As for me, I had my regular appt yesterday and I now have an induction scheduled for 1/2, when I'll be 40w 3d. I have never been this pregnant before and I am soo uncomfortable.

also a quick rant. Why does everyone think it's okay to pester me every 5 minutes to ask if I've had the baby yet or if I'm in labor? Don't you think I will let you know? It's like every person who has my cell phone number has texted me in the last couple days.
