My profile

Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm currently 16 weeks 3 days with my third daughter. My first daughter Mackenzie was born at 35 weeks and is a happy, healthy, very ACTIVE and ENERGETIC little girl. My second, McKenna at 29 weeks but passed away due to a genetic disorder. Due to the 2 previous preterm births and the gene that Patrick and I carry this had been a very rough pregnancy. I have had 3 ultrasounds already and a CVS and fortunately all of out test results have come back perfect!!! I will be starting 17-P injections next week and frequent ultrasounds to monitor my cervix and hopefully I will carry this one to term.

I can't believe I'm almost 21 weeks!! I started my shots today and it wasn't actually that bad. I ended up having my boyfriend give me the shot, I just couldn't do it.. I had another ultrasound about a week and a half ago and she looks PERFECT. My dr has decided that since everything is going so well that we probably won't need the ultrasounds at the end and she will just keep an eye on everything when i go in for my routine check-ups.
