Thanks Ladies!! We are really lucky to have this support system and thanks for sharing all your stories and PMA!

I am really trying hard to avoid being admitted to the hospital...it is close to that point but my RE is letting me ride it out at home for now...thankfully!

Hope everyone is doing well ...
