Re: being induced friday-long ----

[Guest guest]

Hang in there, . Bedrest is hard. Having a wireless connection and my laptop

helped me. I hope things go better for you.

I've been having contractions all day so I hope they are doing enough help out

with the induction tommorow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyway... if I dont get a chance to talk to you again, I hope you have a safe

and speedy L & D.

Wishing you and Adam all the best on Friday! Sounds like you have

gotten excellent care through your pregnancy and despite the

complications, you remain positive and upbeat...Thats awesome.

One of my fellow nurses at work had problems with DVTs with her

pregnancy too...She was hospitalized initially on IV Heparin and

then of course went home on the shots. She and her baby did very

well, just like you.

Its awesome that you have been able to go 39 weeks! I am just over

34 weeks right now and two weeks ago, was put on bedrest due to pre

ecclampsia issues. Thankfully, baby girl is still okay, though I

have come one step closer to being admitted as I now have protein in

my urine in addtition to the bp/headaches, etc...Hopefully the

increase in bp medication will help and I can avoid being put into

more of a jail than I am already in (lol) but you know, whatever it

takes is what I will do...They are hoping to let me go another

couple of weeks so baby can continue to grow, but we will see what

they say on Monday. I am nervous about induction too and of course,

the possibility of a c section is there too...Actually, I am nervous

about the whole labor experience, being my first. I had to cancel

our prenatal classes due to the bedrest...but, being a nurse and

having all the reading material, I am hoping to be as well informed

as I can and pass that info on to hubby.

Anyway, I have blabbed long enough...Best wishes to you,

Sharyn...and can't wait to hear about it soon!

Hugs,

EDC Nov 10th....but not thinking its going to go much past mid Oct

to go downtown Phoenix twice a week for my peri appts and once a

week for the iron infusions. I'm almost 39 weeks and I'm being

induced on Friday.

didnt have a single complication. this pregnancy has been the

complete opposite, so I'm a little nervous. (my complications having

nothing to do with wls)

weeks and have had to deal with that the entire pregnancy. I have

only 1 more heprin shot. I did find out that they are going to keep

me on a low level of heprin throughout my labor and delivery.

> I've had 3 iron infusions in the last couple of weeks. Wow! what a

difference I feel already. If your dr. ever suggests having it done

dont be afraid like I was. It is so worth it. I feel so much better.

I'm now a house cleaning fool that doesnt need a nap everyday.

> I've gained about 15lbs this pregnancy. I'll be 2years out from

surgery November 26. I was about 10lbs from goal when I got

pregnant. It's been fun being able to see my a round basketball

belly this time and wear maternity clothes. The strangest thing

though is when I go into the peri office and they make a comment

about needing the smaller blood pressure cup for me. Or hand me a

gown and it fits with plenty of room spare. I'm sure so many of you

understand how I appreciate these things that most people take for

granted. Oh and yesterday I got a size medium nightgown for the

hospital. I was very pleased I'm 9 months pregnant and I've never

worn a medium in my life.

> I'll check in when we get home. Good Luck to everyone that is

going to be delivering soon.
