Jumping into the pool here. Currently 10 weeks with hopefully take home #2. Have an almost 3 yo and a 12+ yo dog.
Was on IF/PAIF on TB, then made the BMB jump to TCF, then another jump after TCF.
PgAL brain sucks.

Hi! Can I play here, too?
I'm ~tinyjoys. This is baby #3 for my husband and I. We also have 7/11 & 5/15 babies. I'm 6.5 weeks and have a due date of 5/5, but was told at my OB appointment today that I will be delivering sometime between 36 & 39 weeks, putting me somewhere in mid-late April. I'll know more after I see my MFM in about 6 weeks. I'll probably straddle both here & May/June, if that's okay?
I'm really horrible at about me things, so if there's anything else I think of, I'll add it, I guess?

hiiii I'm fashionably late to the party. I didn't have time to settle in on TCF, and then I didn't know where everyone went when I finally got knocked up haha. So here I am now! I'm due 3/7, so I'll be 16 weeks on Wednesday. I was TTC for 2.5 years so this baby was a very very happy surprise on our way to meet with an RE. I have a 3yo daughter and was an active July '14 bumpie looking forward to getting to know you all! |

I already intro'd quite awhile ago but then stepped away for a couple of months as that's how long I apparently needed. But I'm in a better place now emotionally. I am 17 1/2 weeks and due April 9th. My next appointment is Nov 13 which could be my A/S but I'm not sure if they'll do it then or have me wait. I would love to jump back in and post with you all. I'm 29, will be 30 at the end of the year. MH and I have been married 6 years and have 2 DDs at home. J will be 5 this month and A just turned 3 in September. I'm a high school special education teacher.
Long story is below.
*********************TW-Bleeding, threatened m/c*********************************
Long story: I had a lot of issues with heavy bleeding starting at 7 weeks. I went to the ER, they did nothing other than tell me I was probably miscarrying and to call my OB in the morning because they didn't have ultrasound that day and bloodwork would take 24 hours to run and I might as well just go to the OB if it was going to take that long (I live in a small town and have to travel for OB appts.). I followed up with OB and things turned out much better than expected. I was measuring on track but they saw a sub chorionic hematoma which they attributed the bleeding to but said it was small, resolving and unlikely to cause more problems.
At 8 weeks, it happened again only much worse and at work. I'm a teacher and after much crying and worrying and figuring out what to do, I finally asked my school secretary for help as she was within walking distance from the staff bathroom I had locked myself in. She was really nice about everything and managed to get me slightly less hysterical. She had the school nurse come down who told me they had to take me to the ER, there wasn't any other option (I had already been the previous week where they were less than helpful). I got to the ER, they confirmed I was likely miscarrying but that they did have ultrasound that day and thought it would be best to do one there. I find out again, that everything is measuring on track, heartbeat, everything. However, on this ultrasound they identify 2 SCHs, the first one was still there and they still said it looked small and that it was resolving. The other they said measured large and could potentially continue causing problems if it did not begin to resolve soon. I left very confused and still very shaken from what had happened to me. I followed up with OB two days later and they gave me about the same info and had me follow up in 2 weeks. I did, everything again, looked ok although I was still bleeding, that 2nd SCH appeared to be resolving even though it was still measuring large. I should have been relieved, but that is really when I started feeling really down. This was so different from my other 2 pregnancies and I was just so afraid to become attached to this pregnancy.
Then about 3 weeks ago, I ended up with pneumonia and hospitalized. Started as a cold, then they said maybe sinus infection but abx never did help and eventually it turned into pneumonia. My PCP pretty much said she had zero threshold for me remaining outpatient and to consider myself to have "failed" outpatient therapy and told me I really needed to be admitted. They did some steroids, bloodwork, etc. and determined that the biggest issue I was having is that my damn asthma that hasn't been an issue for over a decade has flared up. I am now on an asthma treatment plan for the remainder of my pregnancy.
After that hospital visit I was feeling even more down. I can't really explain why. I felt maybe even borderline depressed because so much was going wrong and I literally felt this hopeless feeling where I was just waiting to miscarry. I've since followed up twice more with my OB and talked to him about how I was feeling. He's been really sensitive through all of it and been taking a lot of care with me. He's ordered an u/s each appt. so far to "measure the SCH" but I think he just wants me to have that peace of mind to be totally honest and I appreciate it. He also made a point to bring in a stethoscope and listen to my lungs last appointment haha. I don't know if that will be a regular thing or not.
I just started feeling some real, definite movement this week too so I am feeling much better about everything and finally feel like I can be excited and happy. Bleeding has become just spotting this week as well so hopefully that can be a thing of the past as well. Overall, I'm feeling much better and feeling and looking pregnant. I finally started telling family and friends about a week ago so it's feeling much more real now which is helping me to get past those negative feelings. Anyway, sorry for the novel, I just feel a little weird about jumping back in here and really didn't want to create a whole new thread.

Hugs kait1214. You've been dealing with a lot! Glad to hear you're doing better all around and T&P that it continues better. You're always welcome to vent here; some have had similar experiences even. |

Welcome back, kait1214! Glad you are here again! I am so sorry you have been through such an ordeal and I can totally understand stepping away with all you had going on. I’m happy for you that things seem to be going better and that you can finally feel excited! And being able to tell friends and family will be nice for some support, I’m hoping. Fx for an uneventful rest of your pregnancy! HUGS! |

kait1214 I'm so sorry that it has been such a rollercoaster so far. We're all here to support and listen to you, and I'm glad you're feeling movement and feeling like you can be happy and excited. I'm also so happy to hear that your OB has been sensitive with you, and that you felt like you could be open with him about how you're feeling. I hope I'm not overstepping when I say I think you should continue to talk through your feelings with him throughout your pregnancy as well as postpartum, just to be proactive. For some women, traumatic events like what you've been through can be triggers for depression, even after you feel like you've moved past those helpless and down feelings. Prenatal depression is also absolutely a real thing, and there are safe medications you can take during pregnancy if you and your doctor feel like that would be the best thing for you (and baby!) In any event, I will send all the positive thoughts your way that the rest of your pregnancy is very uneventful and that baby keeps kicking away, for your peace of mind! I'm glad you're posting here again ❤️

I'm glad you're posting here again ❤️ Not overstepping. OB mentioned that too. He also said that may put me at higher risk for PPD as well and wanted me to be aware so that I would be encouraged to be open about how I'm feeling so that we can monitor both during pregnancy and after. He was again, very sensitive about it and assured me that it wasn't abnormal but something I needed to be mindful of and share with doctors so they can help me manage it. At this point, he didn't feel that medication was necessary, but said he would continue asking me about how I'm feeling emotionally at appointments and that it was a possibility that we may need to go the medication route if I continued to feel that way. Thanks so much for your thoughts! I so appreciate them. |
