Hi Jamila, I'm going to request you now. I'm doing well and my contractions have slowed down drastically since I've been on modified bed rest. At my appt last week I was 1cm dilated, but still hoping to make it to my 38 wks date.
Leora - Congrats on the good news with the babies.
Reenie - I am scheduled for a c-section on the 6th, though my Dr says we'll have an ultrasound to determine whether both babies are head down. If they are, we'll attempt a vaginal delivery, otherwise go ahead with the c-section. Right now Baby A ...
Jamila - glad to hear you're doing well. Question: how is your cervix closed if youre 2 cm dilated? That would make it open. Have you been having any contractions? Itsbalmost time for you )
Yep Lou! I have a little less than 3 more weeks to go. Apr 6th is the day.... and I am sooooooo ready. Being pregnant again was incredible, but I'm so over it now Praying for the days to just fly by, hehe
My twins came earlier than we expected! My pre-eclampsia turned from mild to severe on Monday so the OB said it was time to deliver! My cute little Hamilton weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces and my little girl Shelby weighed 4 pounds 10 ounces. They are small and had some trouble getting their ...
Hi Leora, sorry you're having to go through this. I am with mellow's suggestions as I had a subchorionic bleed (gushing) during the 1st trimester and it bled for 4 weeks straight. Through much prayer, faith,and hope my little ones survived and thrived and I'm looking to meet them in less than 3 ...
Leora - Thank you! 5wks turns into 35wks in no time :) and yay on the dtd! Maintaining that level of intimacy during pregnancy can be difficult, so enjoy it as longgggg as you can :))
Annashope - Thank you! Very sweet to say. I've gained ...
LostGirl - Thank you for the sweet compliment :) Outside of hip aches, pains, and sciatica my body has treated me pretty good. As far as being nervous and worried... I wish I could say it eventually goes away, but I'm almost at the home stretch and still get ...
I'd love to join the combined group, but it appears I'd be the furthest along; 33 weeks with b/g twins :) I was apart of the summer ivf cycles and remember a few of you, so very glad to see you on this side. This pregnancy has definitely given me a run for my money, but I'm almost there ...
Just checking in to see how everyone and their growing babies are doing. My babies are doing extremely well, but unfortunately I am on modified bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. Last week I had to go into L&D due to contractions that wouldn't stop. Thankfully they were only ...
Hi Ladies, sorry about being MIA. For some reason my notifications for this thread are not working.
Reenie I also have a bit of swelling in my knees, but also in my ankles depending on what kind of shoes I wear :) Have you had to take off your rings? I pray all these other symptoms subside and ...
Jamila - I forgot to answer your question from earlier about my husband being Nigerian. Yes, he is... but completely American raised even though his parents were born and raised in Nigeria. After 8+ years I'm still trying to get use to it :) I'm taking the breastfeeding class next Wed and am hoping ...
