Thanks for your message! We've done so much research on Trisomy 12--we've even been in contact with the doctor who runs that website you got the info from. We're just thinking positive thoughts! I'm actually off to the hospital to be induced! I hope you're well! Megan

Hey there!
Doing well. I went to the perinatologist on Friday and my cervix is still long and closed so he said he sees no reason why I should still be on berdrest. He said he would talk to my ob about it, but as far as I'm concerned I'm not on bedrest anymore, but still trying to take it easy. That's hard seeing that my shower is on Saturday and it is at my house. My friends have offered to clean, but I can't bare the thought of them cleaning my toilets!! That's great to hear that you only have a couple of more weeks! I guess things are going well. Update me whe you can...Oh, by the way I'm a Realtor too. Is the market looking up at all where you are in CA? I'm in GA. It's flat here.

I lost the pregnancy, but will try again in a couple of months. I was stunned that my doctor told me to go home and have a miscarrige. It was the most painful experience. It took 5 days. First day I was in the bathtub screaming for about two hours. Day three lots of intense piercing cramping and day five was another two hours in the tub screaming. I was so upset that my doctor said it wouldn't be so bad. He said I may experience some mild cramping and to take some advil. Apparently he was wrong. I swear it was if I were in labor the whole time. My poor boyfriend was sweating. Even when he wanted to take me to the ER he couldn't get me to move. If ever again it will be a D&C. No woman should have to go through that! I did not talk about it to any friends until much later and a girlfriend of mine said she went through the same kind of experience and she could not get up off the kitchen floor for two agonizing hours. The hot tub sort of helped. Never again. And I am switching doctor's for the next try!

I truly hope all goes well for you and baby! Best wishes and blesses! Getting close!

Thank you so much for the concern.

Thanks for your well-wishes! Baby is rambunctious as ever, it's Mum who is hurting!!! I think I did a bit of damage to my back in the fall... but I am just thankful that the little one is fine. How are you two doing?

I went to the doctor today, the perinatoligist says I have gestational diabetes and sent me to get baseline labwork to check for pre-eclampsia. While there I also recieved a lovely orange jug to pee in for the next 24 hours. I was right when I told my husband I thought they were paying alot of attention to the baby's heart on the last ultrasound. The doc says there is a small amount of fluid around the baby's heart but he doesn't seem concerned with it right now. He says I have a skinny baby and this one won't be anywhere near the 8 pounds 4 ounces my last weighed. I am scheduled for an another ultrasound in 3 weeks, my midwife appts will continue to be weekly and every other week I will have non stress tests. I am also awaiting a call from the diabetes clinic at the hospital to meet with a dietician for nutritional counseling. My husband went with me today and now undersands how strict my bedrest is supposed to be. I think when the perinatoligist went and got the wheelchair for me that must have done it. I am allowed to lay or sit but no walking or driving. Hubby has now offered to get up my 7 year old and get him off to school and is going to go in late on Mondays to take me to the doctor! I am so much less stressed than last week, even though I found out I do have GD. I can easily sacrifice 10 weeks of food I love for the health of my little boy.

Thanks so much for the encouragment! I know I don't need to worry or be scared too much about being a mom:) My emotions are all over the place. The day after I wrote that...I was walking around babies r us and getting excited and just had a peaceful feeling about everything. I guess we all have our up (confident) and down (insecure) days:) Thanks again and congrats on your baby on the way:)

Still no word on the GD test, I will find out Monday for sure. They never bothered calling me to tell me I failed the one hour, the midwife told me at my next visit. I guess I should find out the results of my ultrasound on Monday too.
I have my real estate license too but the market is so bad here in Atlanta it isn't woth the paper its printed on right now. When do you go back to the doctor?

blessed-in-atl - Friday, 2 May
I went and took my 3 hour glucose test on Wednesday, haven't heard back from the doc's office yet. Matter of fact I still haven't heard from the perinatoligist who never showed for my appt on Monday and I am worried because the ultrasound tech spent alot of time looking at the baby's heart. I am thinking maybe there is something wrong with it. When I was leaving I told her, "See you next Monday" and she said "Oh you you will be hearing from us way before then. I called on Wednesday and the receptionist told me the perinatoligist was there seeing patients and he would have to sit down and go over my chart before he could call me. Still no phone call. I am so frustrated.
On another note, I am supposed to be on bedrest but still having to get my son off to school and can't even get my husband to put his dinner plate in the dishwasher, much less help with any housework. He is gone 13 hours a day for work, but my 7 year old is here from 3pm on. I had to make a quick trip to the store a few days ago because I needed food I could get up and quickly make to eat and there was nothing here. Well atleast today is Friday, I can ask my one and only friend here to come over since she usually has weekends off.
I hate to come off like someone who is always complaining, I am really not like that, but I must admit it feels really good to get it off my chest.
Its good to hear your cervix has gotten longer and you got to get out of the house, I know you must have really enjoyed it.

Hi! I saw that you were on bedrest too. Misery loves company so thought I would say hello. Are you on total bedrest where you have to lie on your side all day or can you sit up reclined. It sounds like a small thing but such a big difference. I can sit reclined on the couch all day and can go to bathroom and shower. This is my 3rd week and I am so looking forward to week 36 when I think I might be fine. Still need to talk to the doc though. Another free movie site is quicksilverscreen.com. Talk with you soon!!

Do you still have your foster baby? If so how in the world do you care for her while on bedrest? I had an appt yesterday. It was with the perinatologist but he never showed so the ultrasound tech did the scan and said the baby's abdomen is measuring 2 and a half weeks behind, the baby has dropped to the 3rd percentile and my cervix has dropped from 24 mm to 18 mm in the last 2 weeks so scoot over and make some room cuz now I am on complete bedrest too. I told a nurse I would see them on Monday at my next appt and she said, "Oh you will be hearing from us way before then" great, now I am a worried mess!Meanwhile I have to figure out what to do with getting my 7 year old off to school. I told him he is gonna have to eat the school food the rest of the year cuz I can't get up to make his lunch every morning and I have asked the bus driver for a premission slip that will allow him to walk home from the bus stop so I don't have to be sitting there waiting on him but I am not comfortable with him being there waiting for the bus without me in the morning so I drove him there and just reclined my car seat all the way back while waiting on the bus. Ahhhhhhhh, I feel a little better, always good to vent!

My midwife said she wants me on modified bed rest. I'm not confined to the bed, but she said no walking around being on my feet for an hour or more at a time so I just try to take lots of breaks throughout the day. I have been laying around watching lots of movies. I get an ultrasound on Monday so I will know what my cervix is measuring then but for now they tell me it is firm and closed. My Mom hasn't even set a date for my baby shower yet, we may end up with a meet baby party lol. Either way I have bought everything except a bassinet that the baby will need when he first comes home. Everything on my registry are merely wants, I could make do without them, at least for a few months.

I failed my 1 hour glucose test so I have to go take the 3 hour, not looking forward to all that fasting as I wake up starving. Also, at my last appt they saw a small amount of protein in my urine so I am being watched closely to see if I develop pre-eclampsia again with this pregnancy.

Is bedrest driving you nuts yet? I know of a great website to watch free movies from your pc. Let me know if you want the url.

Thanks for checking in on me, it's always nice to login and see that you have messages! Wishing you and Ashley the best of luck.

I had been having contractions all week and they got progressively worse, so on Friday night I called the doc and she said go to the hospital. They gave me Brethine and Betamethasone to mature the lungs and kept me overnight. Thank God, my cervix is closed, but b/c I am so early they put me on bedrest and Brethine as needed. I haven't had to take any since 6am so hopefully it's working along with the bedrest. It is so hard though to just lay here and not get up when you need/want to and depend on everyone else for everything. Before this I was gardening, painting the trim on our house, sanding and painting patio furniture. I was nesting alright and now all that goes to a halt. The nursery hasn't even been started b/c I thought I would have plenty of time. Oh, well I guess the only thing that matters is that our little ones stay in there and come out healthy. Sorry for the ramble, but I have plenty of time and this medication wires me!!!

If you are having pressure in your colon I would definatley go and get checked out. When you go into labor, labor the sensation is just that pressure in your butt like you have to BM. Hope this helps. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!!!

blessed-in-atl - Friday, 11 April
Just a little update. My cervix is 2.4 cm (it was 2.5 cm 6 weeks ago) so there has been no significant change. The ultrasound tech also commented that my cervix wasn't opening when she pressed on my tummy like it was before. At first I was thinking OMG why did you not tell me it was opening when you pushed on it before, but now that I have had time to think about it, I am relieved I didn't know as I would just worry that much more, but I wouldn't have been cutting my grass!
