Hello ladies.

Christmas is a hard time. I conceived my girl last Christmas. I was also close to death last Christmas. I lost my girl on March 25th of this year. And what day is the 25th? Christmas. Anyone else having a difficult time? I will try to remember how tags work, please forgive me if they do not format properly.

miscarriage, death

Baby Registry - toys

seizetheday wrote in pregnant Dec 12, 2015 21:37

We are in the process of making our baby registry. Is it appropriate to add toys to the registry that are not for newborns? I imagine people have different opinions on this. I see a few cute things for babies that are 3-6 months, 6-9 months, etc.. just curious if anyone adds toys for those ages leading up to 1 year old.

TSH level

Hey everyone, I have hypothyroidism and recently had my levels checked. My current TSH is 2.3. My doctor (primary) says that I am stable and he wants me to stay on my current meds and get tested again in 4 weeks. Is 2.3 too high for being in your second trimester? I will be 25 weeks tomorrow ( Read more... )

Well. Never thought I'd be here again. I'm 39 and have three older kids - 9, 7 and 5.5. I've been at home with the kids since the 5 and a half year old was born and was getting ready to take classes to bring my certification back up to speed so I could go back to work next fall. Cue my husband making an offhand comment about how my hair looks ( Read more... )

And now I wish I had the last few weeks to survive

amycooper wrote in pregnant Jun 11, 2015 03:56

I just recently posted asking how everyone got by on the last month of pregnancy. Apparently a lot can change in just a couple of days. I got a call yesterday that some of my bloodwork came back and I tested positive for something called cholestasis. Suddenly I want five long weeks of discomfort ( Read more... )

Anterior Placenta, Breech Position

amycooper wrote in pregnant May 01, 2015 11:31

During my visit to the OB, they've determined that my daughter is still breeched at 31 weeks. While they stressed that there's still time for her to turn on her own (and in fact she has done some impressive somersaults just the week before) they did give me a worksheet on positions/exercises to do to help encourage her to turn. They've scheduled ( Read more... )
