OKY-so glad to hear from you and so happy to hear those babies are still doing good. I had Preclampsia really bad with Lily so they keep a close eye on that with me too. I hope it all turns out ok. I know you dont need anymore things to worry about. Please keep us posted. I will be thinking about you. Hugs and Love. PLANT-whoo hoo. Not too much longer. You can do it!!! :) Joy-so sorry to hear about your loss. But congrats on this new pregnancy. It is so scary after having losses to be pg again. Prayers and good luck to you. BEILER-happy to hear Joel's heart seems to be doing good. What a releif. Take it easy momma

OK- glad to hear from you momma! as long as they are growing right? hooray for your big milestone... though hopefully they make it to a bigger one without too much complication. PLANT- cant wait to see you pics and birth story. JOY- welcome back. as for me i had to go to the er today because i was having contractions. thankfully they were stopped though and i am just on take it easy mode and not actual bed rest!!! on a better note joel was monitored for two hours with absolutely no sign of a heart arythmia! :) i think we are out of the danger zone with that!

Back again ladies. We lost our baby, we think she was a girl and named her Aubrey, on Christmas day. We were planning to wait at least 6 months before TTC but after a trip to the er on Monday I found out I'm already pregnant again. I'm freaking out and praying we don't lose another baby. My Dr said my chances of delivering a healthy baby is greater than the chance I'll miscarry again but having lost 2 definitely brings fear. I'm trying to have faith everything will be fine.

plant- Whoa, you are already 39 weeks?? I hope you get to meet your baby soon! Babies are still measuring about the same distance but they are both still looking ok otherwise so that is good. They are watching close. My little guy is really small but still growing and dopplers looked fine so he is still getting some blood flow. fluid levels are a little better too.

As for me, I had a GREAT doc appt yesterday. 39 weeks so she did an internal check, I'm 1-2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and baby is at -1 station. Ever since the check I've had some mucus/spotting. The doctor said she doesn't think I will go more than another week. I am so very excited, ready to hold my little girl!!

SUNSHINE - huge congratulations hon!!! so exciting! BABYBEILER and ALLISON - good to hear, cause I've been told that this one should be at least 8 lbs. and I would much rather her come out a little smaller :-) OKYNOT - so good to hear from you! I have been thinking about you and praying for your two little loves. I had to do the 24hr urine test too, NO FUN. How are the babies measuring up size-wise now?

Hi girls, sorry I haven't been on in a while, I guess I needed some time to sort things out. Babies are still alive and kicking. I reached my first milestone and am now 24 1/2 weeks. They are still watching them closely every week and that is all we can do right now. Each week is a victory. I did have high blood pressure on Friday and there was protein in my urine so I had to do the 24 hour urine collection. I turned it in yesterday and they called me today and said that they don't like the protein levels and I need to do the test again next Tuesday. UGH! Can I catch a break??? They are now monitoring me for pre-eclampsia. I just need these babies to keep hanging in there and grow and come out alive and healthy! How is everyone else? I have some catching up to do. Looks like congratulations are in order for sunshinelady32 though!

baby-beiler - 23 days ago.
haha mine were estimated to be big too! i think my old ob thought since im big well i will have big babies... both were supposed to be between 8-9 and neither one made it to 7! lol but sunshine CONGRATS ON YOUT BEAUTY! creaping for pics and a birth story ;)

Allison Marie - 24 days ago.
OMG! Where the heck is everyone?????? SUNSHINE-Congrats on your precious baby!! They are never right about size of baby when pregnant. When I was pregnant with my Mia, they told me she was going to be 8/9 pounds. She was only 6 pounds 5 oz. Sheesh!! CHRISTIN-take is easy. I know being on bed rest is hard.

on 1-17 at 3:50 pm I delivered Aiden Noah!!!! He WAS 9lb 4oz 20 1/2in. Idk if I ever told you ladies but u/s at 35 weeks estimated him to be 5lb 10z. so we belived he would be about 6-7lbs. anyway he is now 10lb 1oz a week later! I LOVE my fat man soo much I have shed tears two days in a row just looking into his eyes (tears of joy). I wish you all the best! this page has helped me so much. I thank each and everyone of you for sharing your story/life with me. xoxoxoxoxo btw i will be posting my birth story

Ah. Actually I have some heart issues too - tachycardia - but it doesn't sound as bad as yours. That's the reason why my doc put me on desk duty at work when I was 6 weeks along. I do landscaping, and being out in the heat (without my medication) was making my tachycardia episodes worse, so inside I went. But I didn't have to do full bedrest. Hopefully they can find another way to help you so that you don't have to stay so restricted!

christinaeagles - 27 days ago.
Hi. No i don't have ic. I have been having some really bad heart palpitations prior to pregnancy and they are getting worst. Plus i have a hyperactive thoryoid. Beinging referred to a highrisk dr and cardiologists. Little scary but the bedrest keeps the heartrate down

plantlvr07 - 27 days ago.
CHRISTINA - Why the bedrest, do you have IC? Praying for you! I know you want to do what's best for your little one but bedrest sounds like it sucks sooo bad. SUNSHINE - waiting for an update!! THE REST OF YOU (lol) - how are you all doing? Way too quiet in here, need some updates! As for me I'm 38+3 today and still not a damn thing happening. No contractions, no signs that labor is near. Sigh. I am so ready to meet my little girl. Spent a lot of time walking yesterday, and cleaning the day before that, and all I've gotten for it is very sore hips/SPD. At my last appt the doc told me she thought the baby is going to be at least 8 lbs. Here's hoping these wide hips I was graced with can handle 8 lbs no problem lol!

Christina... hopefully the bedrest works!!!!

Hey Ladies, I was put on bedrest again. I was on Bedrest with my daughter for 7 months and know I am 8 weeks and back on bedrest. Praying that this little bean makes it through. I don't think I can handle anymore losses. I lost two pregnancies in 2011 (twins and a single). Anyways can use all the good vibes out there... :)

sunshinelady32-Yay! FX for a speedy and uneventful delivery:-)..baby-beiler- I have basically 'stayed' pregnant the last 5 years,lol. Seems the urge to be pregnant again right after delivery is pretty strong...despite the insomnia and adjusting to a new life all over again. I thought about tying my tubes after this one, but think I will just let my fertility expire on it's own naturally in a few years,lol. Bahaha, 5 more kids meanwhile waiting for that to occur....that'd be my luck.

baby-beiler - 32 days ago.
sunshine- cant wait to see pics of your new little love :) haha i get so excited when we get close! makes me anxious for my little guy. but i have to ask a question. does anyone else just want to stay pregnant? haha I am so afraid I am going to miss it. and idk if we will have more... Hubby said we can talk about it when Joel is John's age...almost3.. so just knowing this could be the last one well sure i want to meet him but i am just wanting this little boy to stay inside my belly and wake me up and night and kick my bladder and i just want him to stay just mine for a little big longer ;) Okay im getting sappy here! haha!

plantlvr07 - 32 days ago.
SUNSHINE - praying for you, can't wait to hear how it goes!!!

sunshinelady32 - 32 days ago.
Hey Ladies! I changed my name from 31 to 32. I couldnt remember my password. Anywho I'm 41 weeks today and little man does not want to come on his own. I am being induced tomorrow starting at 7 am. Im ready to meet him and get pass the loss that we had in march. I will be having my tubes tied so this is really it for us. But im content with 3 kids. Our house thats being built is a 5 bedroom so no need for a bigger house and we still have a guest room. I bought a car a year ago befroe i found out i was pregnant now i wish I had gotten an suv. Its just enough room for us. thx for reading and all the support. I will post tomorrow when he arrives. sticky and labor dust to all!!

BEILER=llol that show kind of drives me crazy. I hope the headaches go away and the bp stays down. CHRISTIN-welcome to the group. I hope you can find some comfort and support here. PLANT-hoping your bp stays down too. I had preclamosia with my daughter and it wasnt pleasant :(

baby-beiler - 34 days ago.
plant yeah i know that was wishful thinking on my part but i was still thinking it could be plausible. lol. i know 140 is the magic number lol so i was 8 less than that so they didnt note it in my chart at the ER. For me i thought it sounded high but hey i am not the expert here :) christina- hoping for a boring 8 months for you too. and i hope against hope that you are not a worried momma the next 8 months :)

christinaeagles - 34 days ago.
Thanks Ladies. Here's hoping it's a boring 8 months!

BABY-BEILER - Doc still isn't concerned about my bp... I have my mom's monitor here at home now so I am keeping a check on it, and the doctor said that unless it gets up into the 140s or 150s/90s, there are no worries and I don't need to call them. She said mine may be up a little b/c I'm sick (stupid cold) so stands to reason that yours could have been b/c of the migraine.

baby-beiler - 35 days ago.
plant... THANK YOU SO MUCH! i go to rite aid or walmart and checked it just to make sure that it wasnt still up. It is back to normal. thats the other thing like i am not swelling up or anything im am just getting migraines EVERY SINGLE day. okay so maybe its not as bad as a migraine but it hurts and its QUITE annoying. I am taking benedryl with extra strength tylenol now to try to take care of it. It works better than just the tylenol alone. Christina and JJ... welcome both of you... I am not sure if i had the chance to welcome you guys yet. so welcome to this group. it is soo amazingly supportive and such an awesome place! you will still worry but you will find a place to yell and cry and laugh and just relax a bit because we are all here because we know what its like to suffer a loss and then get pregnant.

jjrhodes - 35 days ago.
Welcome christinaeagles. I am in the same position as you. I have had 2 miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancies with 1 healthy 4 1/2 year old and 13 weeks pregnant now. So I know the fear. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
