:omg:Hello Mamas!!!

I'm super bummed. I have been AF cramping all day today- I mean low/front and back cramps and supposedly 5 dpo (based off O pain and +OPK on CD 14!

TMI alert: Now, used the restroom and found 3 small bright red dots on tissue paper! WTH??

Little Background: I have been pregnant a total of 6 times in my life 3 boys and 4 angels :( and never had implanting bleeding! But never the start of a period this early! My cycle has been as early as CD 25-and never past CD 29!

As you can imagine, I feel like I'm completely out and back to the drawing board!!! Ugh... This is frustrating- I don't temp, just use OPK's.

Could it be progesterone? Vitex? Thoughts? Advice? or

Thanks for all your help! Feeling so frustrated :(

Could be supplements or implantation but 5dpo is really early for implantation to occur...usually 6dpo would be the earliest an embryo can fully hatch and implant.

Thanks nuthinbutpink! I'm sure is AF rearing her ugly head :( it's probably these supplements! I think next month I'll stick to rephresh only and no Vitex- and see what happens.

Update??

It may just have been some spotting, it does happen sometimes for a variety of reasons, and it is totally possible to have some spotting and then go onto have a normal LP after that.

JEWELLE11
February 19th, 2014, 05:38 PM
Thanks Atomic! That makes me feel better and I hope your right.

Here is my update: All last night I had cramping on and off/especially low back pain. I haven't seen any more spotting since I last reported but feel like AF is about to start at any minute...ugh!

Supplements I did this cycle:

Baby Aspirin (all cycle) I have to take this as I have a blood clotting disorder and when I am pregnant I add lovenox to that combo...

Vitamin C 500 mg (all cycle)
B6 100 mg (all cycle)
Magnesium till CD14
Folic Acid 4 mg (all cycle)
Acidophilus - prone to yeast- unfortunately.
Vitex till Postive OPK which was CD 14

I did rephresh every three days and that's all.

What could of caused that spotting? I have been taking Vitex now for 4 months, like you have suggested from AF-O or in my case till positive OPK/O pain.

What should I drop from these supplements? I definitely can't be without the BA and Folic Acid. Thanks for your help.

It could still be implantation bleeding...even if you didn't have that with 25 pregnancies it could still happen with this one.

I personally only had implantation bleeding with one of my pregnancies and know a lot of other women who were the same.

5dpo is early but something could be miscalculated somewhere and you just never know!

JEWELLE11
February 19th, 2014, 06:00 PM
Rosie85, thank you.

I agree that every pregnancy is different however I just always found that whole idea with implantation bleeding hard to believe-sort of speak- since it never personally happened to me -in my six pregnancies - one which was even a twin but you are right that every pregnancy is different and it's nice to know that could be a possibility since I really don't know exactly when I ovulated. I do know that I had what seem like a positive OPK on CD 13 then on CD 14 it was more positive and I had O pain- which I attributed to my ovulation day! At the end of the day just guessing -really.

It could be I was 6dpo yesterday but I was going with 5 dpo based on this CD 14 -calculation.

I'm glad to know that you personally experienced implantation bleeding-at least now I know someone who has :wink:

Rosie85
February 19th, 2014, 06:08 PM
You are welcome Jewelle! Just trying to remain hopeful for you! IB is a weird concept for sure if you have never had it for so many pregnancies. It truly does exist though! A lot of women I have heard have it but don't even know.

The cramping and aches are a good sign of implantation too!

JEWELLE11
February 19th, 2014, 06:35 PM
Thanks so much Rosie85, super sweet of you. I guess it ain't over till AF shows up but the cramping and aches make me feel it's right around the corner. - I see you have 3 boys like me :) Let's hope we get our little girls for baby #4!

Thanks prayingpink! Still cramping. Had a dream last night that I took a test and it was positive. I think it's all this TTC stuff but hope it comes true soon!

Prayingpink
February 20th, 2014, 04:13 PM
Well you are in my thoughts and prayers. I took a prganancy test with my second son because I kept having a reacuring dream of me taking a pregnancy test that was as big as me lol and it came out positive. So after three nights of the same dream I took a pregnancy test and I thought it was negative so I threw it away but I kept getting this nagging feeling to look again. So I did and it was positive. Thinking it could be an evap line I took another and it was positive :) I hope this is it for you!

JEWELLE11
February 21st, 2014, 07:15 PM
Prayingpink!

Thank you my friend!

Crossing my fingers it is but haven't had anymore cramping since I last reported- honestly no symptoms at all- who knows, maybe the dream will come true, I'm sure with all this TTC stuff-eventually. What a great story it gives me some hope.

I'm waiting till Sunday/ Monday to test- AF is due Tuesday or Wednesday- Do you think its too early?

I'll keep this thread updated- one way or another :)

Rosie85
February 21st, 2014, 07:26 PM
some ladies test positive super early, like 6 days before AF and others don't get them until after AF. It all depends! I am a nut and would start testing at 8dpo not matter what!

Prayingpink
February 21st, 2014, 07:43 PM
I really think it just depends. With my first son I was like 4-5 days before expected period when I tested and got a strong positive right away. With my second I was only one day before my period and got a faint positive (which is why I thought it was negative). I personally would started testing 10 days past o since they say you typically implant between 5-9 dpo with 7 dpo most common. You need to allow time for hcg to build up so. Hcg doubles every 48 hrs I beleive so since you had bleeding at 5 dpo the earliest I'd test is 8 days but won't try to hold off till 10 dpo

Glory! Thanks!

Yes. I have taken the FRER before but I am waiting till tonight to take one and will update then. I cannot believe this might be the start of a BFP. I haven't even told hubby yet- don't want get my hopes up until I see it on a digital!

Bigwish
February 22nd, 2014, 12:02 PM
The moment i read your post, i thought: that must be IB! It sounds so familiar with what i experienced with dc3.
I also had it with dc1 from 5-8 days dpo. With dc3 only a light spotting on 5 dpo.
With dc2 i had implantation cramps and also this time i experienced them.

But, more importantly, i can see those lines: they' re pink and the same width as the contol line. I bet you'll get stronger lines! Sending you some pink, sticky dust!

February 22nd, 2014, 12:15 PM
I see a very faint line. I took a test this month because my LP was 14 days and it's never been longer than 10-12 and my test was Snow White. We didn't try this month so I'm not surprised by the Bfn. But keep testing and I will bet the line gets darker!!

February 22nd, 2014, 05:46 PM
Prayingpink! Thank you! I have been in shock all day and so scared to test again but just went out and got me some digitals and frer! Lol just want to be 100% positive but everyone seems to this it's a BFP so I'm really encouraged now.... I have been really tired today- took an afternoon nap, that never happens- and only when I'm PG. DH wants me to test already but I rather wait till the HCG doubles up! I have me never had a BFP this early- the earliest with twins was 10 dpo and I was testing since 7 dpo. It freaks me out thinking it can be twins or triplets... Lol Just hope it's my Jewelle, waiting for her for a long long time. I'll keep you updated!

:omg::omg: it's Official Ladies! 9 dpo and positive on digital! I am :pray: this is our sticky pink bean! This will be my 7th pregnancy- I just pray the baby is super healthy! Lovenox, Crinone and BA regimine again- Wow! It feels like I just did that and now here I am! I'll post my sway later today! Still on shock.

@rosie85, you sure did tell me :) and I'm glad you did! I really thought I was out, guess the cramping at 5dpo and spotting was my baby! Crazy!

@lilithwiser1979, it's crazy because I have never ever had a BFP this early- except like I said before with twins at 10 dpo! Praying for one healthy bean- twin pregnancy is super risky for me. With my boys all my BFP's were 13/14 dpo nothing earlier... And I tested everyday starting 7dpo- kinda POAS-a-holic.

@prayingpink, I'm excited now! Thinking of my sway and hope it tip the odds for me and Jewelle is in there!

Sisterplease, I hope I have that same outcome! Early BFP hopeful it's a pink bean! The only thing that will tell me different is my symptoms, I had the same exact symptoms with my boys- never sick- spitting and heart burn- sleepy.
The only thing so far has been tired but can't sleep-lol- maybe it's different b/c I have an 18 month old to chase after- :)

I went to the DR. and she said that my test was "faint"! I have been taking test at home and they have been getting darker but this morning my apt was at 10:30 am and I had already drank a lot of water- so it could of be diluted.

I been having low back cramps :( and just used the restroom and found light Pink CM. I HAVE never had a chemical, I really hope that's not what is happening but I am completely bummed.

I'm so sorry. I personally had a lot of bleeding on and off with my first son. I actually thought I was was losing him since I had a lot of cramping too. But he's now turning 4 in April. Has it turned to more red than pink? Try not to stress. You are in my thoughts and prayers

Thank you Ladies!

Prayingpink; It's more light pink cm- I had bleeding on and off with my son too, it was nerve racking- up until 16 weeks- crazy! But then as pregnancy progressed it ended and I had a easy peasy pregnancy.

Today, it started out great- no spotting, no cramping and then just now some pink cm but no cramping...still keeping hope..waiting for Dr. to call to start crinone- feeling more pregnant today - that keeps me hopeful but need to check levels to see where we are at...I'll keep everyone posted.

JEWELLE11
February 26th, 2014, 01:46 PM
:pregnant:
11 DPO LEVEL 113 HCG
PROGESTERONE 38

She was very happy with these results and wants me to start meds immediately then see her next week for ultrasound...I cannot believe its so quick.

I'm excited but still not liking seeing this pink cm but she said it's normal unless it comes with pain and it gets heavier. You would think that after 6 pregnancy I would know this but I swear I forget everything and have to start all over!

Prayingpink
February 26th, 2014, 02:09 PM

Hey BigWish!

Sorry I have been MIA. The spotting as continued but just brown now but the Dr. thinks it can be the Crinone- I was told to stop the baby aspirin but continue the lovenox until the spotting stops for at least 2 weeks and then resume.

I had my second BETA on Friday and waiting on those results :) This morning I took a test and got a super dark line with a positive on digi - I'll attach a picture.

I have an ultrasound scheduled for 3/11 and closing on my house that same day- as you can imagine...quite busy. The house thing has me busy.

I'm still uneasy with this spotting but trying to stay positive b/c in the end what will be will be.

Just dark spotting and no cramping but the occasional cramps-nothing major.

Bigwish! That's awesome and I like your quote because its very true. I asked for 3 wishes this year and so far have 2 manifested :bigsmile: the third is not that urgent and can't wait till after baby! Just hope I have that healthy sticky bean!

This evening I felt waves of nausea- which I thought was different but other than tired that's it for symptoms.

I would be the same way- if this baby was a girl- probably couldn't believe it until she is here! LOL.

Got a MSG this morning from Dr. 2nd Beta looks great! Ultrasound was changed from the 11th to 14th - I should be 6 weeks by then so hopefully get to see baby and Heart Beat.

IT'S TWINS!!! AGAIN.:twins:....:holysheep:

I almost dropped to the floor when I saw them...this is not what we were expecting again. Dr. said I have a high chance of vanishing twin syndrome- as the pregnancy is almost identical to my last twin pregnancy.

They are definitely fraternal

First Baby Heart Rate 118bmp 2nd Baby we couldn't measure (like last time) but we saw it flickering....

I feel like DEJAVU ...I'm closing on my house today and now TWINS....hubby is beside himself. I think I'll go buy a lotto ticket now being as TWINS pregnancy doesn't happen naturally (back to back) ...I'll post ultrasound pics later...still in shock! :holysheep:

First of all huge congrats.

SEcond of all, twin pregnancies DO happen back to back and one of the strongest risk factors for conceiving twins is having already conceived them. Some people just regularly hyperovulate and it appears you're one of them!

Good luck and pink dust!

Apparently I do hyperovulate, twins run in my mom's side of the family so I guess it's super common.

My grandma had twins B/G
My aunt had twins B/B
My cousin had twins B/G

All fraternal...I was pregnant with twins but I'm not sure what the sex of the other baby was...

I'm still not 100% excited as last time we lost our Baby A at 12 weeks and 5 days :( Baby B was my Boy....

So wonderful! Congrats! I second what Atomic said about twins. Age is also a risk factor in addition to having conceived twins before. It is common to hyper O more and more frequently as you get older, if you have the gene. I hope they both survive and at least one is pink. :)

Jewelle, just catching up, congrats on twins! How exciting, I understand you wanting to be cautious though.

I just wanted to say I just had a HT pregnancy where I was on crinone and lovenox and I had bleeding all the way until we stopped the lovenox about 12 weeks. I had a huge bleed and a little bleed and then basically some kind of spotting every day.

If you are seeing pink CM, this could be the crinone, it is sometimes referred to as Salmon colour, you can also get some dark brown blood mixed in. Just make sure to clear it out every day with your finger in the shower. It can really stick up there and I have heard of people having to go to ER to get it scooped out. This can also cause irritation and bleeding.

Good luck!

Hi Glory,

I'm glad someone has been in my shoes =) This is my second pregnancy on Lovenox, Crinone and BA and another twin- My first I had a few bleeds but we also had a vanishing twin at 12 weeks and 5 days :( I'm not sure if I should of been on higher dosage of Lovenox- when I got off crinone I had pink cm and light bleeds from 14 weeks till 16 weeks- it was super scary but it all resolved after 16 weeks. I think it might of been b/c I got off the crinone (cold turkey) at 13 weeks. This time we will wean-off till 15 weeks which makes me feel a whole lot better.

I have to wait a few more days before I start BA again- as I have had no spotting in a week (Thank God). I sometimes wonder if BA is too much but it worked last pregnancy- so just going to stick to the same regimen.

I know about that build-up, I take it out- hate that build up, and I agree that it helps with irritation- if you get that out!

So sorry I have been MIA! It's been a crazy April let's pray May comes in with better luck (excuse any typos) using iPhone!

Where do I begin?

Got a new job (yay!)
Got a new house! (Yay!)

Now the babies :))

I swear my pregnancy cannot happen without some drama ��

At about 8weeks 3/4 days I started to bleed :( not heavy but bright red- freaked me out and gotta sonogram that day! My DR said I only see 1 baby and I don't see a heart beat on the other- I think you experienced the vanishing twin syndrome! I was expecting this as I was told there is 75% chance this could happen again however she did say come back in 1 week and we will verify with the sonographer!

Due to new job I was only able to go today- I'm 10 weeks and 4 days and the sonographer says- what vanishing twin?? I see two babies with 170 bpm heart rate and measuring at 11 weeks 2 days! I about fell out of my chair :)) just happy my babies are good! Next week, I see the MFM and we will confirm the babies but for now it makes sense why I'm showing so much and sooo tired! Baby A super active and Baby B really quite but both looked really good!

My pregnancy just seems to be unfolding into a nightmare. On Friday, we had on NT Scan only to find out that Baby A was well but Baby B had what they called Anencephaly (the major absence of the brain)  To the point where it was so apparent on ultrasound. Apparently that genetic disorder is very severe and only very few Babies survive, if pregnancy. I was given two options:
1. to carry on with the pregnancy until (full term) if we make it but Baby B if survives would only do so for a few hours and if not more than likely I have a 60% chance of not going full term b/c B would pass on his/her own and then endanger Baby A.
2. to have a 'selective termination' asap. That means the sick baby gets a deadly injection directly into the heart, through the tummy the same would happen as if one twin died spontaneously (vanishing twin) up to week 19 or 22: it would shrink- or reabsorb into the placenta. There would be a small risk of full miscarriage, but if the baby with Anencephaly- Baby B- died later in pregnancy, both babies would die.

I was wondering, if there is anyone else who went through a selective termination in a multiple pregnancy?

Given the circumstances we decided that option 2 is probably our best bet, so that baby A has a possibility of survival. Thinking of the words 'Selective Termination' make my skin crawl and I find myself praying for a vanishing twin syndrome- sadly. Emotionally, I’m devasted and sick to my stomach that I have to make this decision.

In addition to the SR procedure, I was advised to do the Chronic Villus Sampling CVS on baby A just to be sure it’s going to be okay. The Dr. said that once there is issues with one baby there are no guarantees to the surviving twin. This would be two invasive procedure and I’m worried about Baby A survival.

Baby A has a strong heart beat and looks really good on ultrasound and I’m so worried that by doing all of this I could potentially put my daughter/or son in harm’s way but I feel as I have been given no choice.

Does or did anyone else go through a similar experience? Thanks for all your help and prayers.

I can't even imagine what you're going through, I'm so sorry.

Oh mama so so sorry to hear this. My baby had a form of anencephaly and there are no chances of survival. Not one baby has survived anencephaly. It's such a cruel and gruesome thing to go through. I had the pregnancy terminated (that sounds horrible, but we did it so we could end our babies suffering) and didn't have to deal with the health of another baby. I know of one mama who was pregnant with twins and one of the twins didn't have kidney's, which is also fata. She carried both to term and her son passed away during labour. She got to hold her child, hug him, kiss him, say goodbye. I think that is worth more than money can buy. Babies with anen usualy survive the full 9 months, only to pass during or shortly after labour. But I don't know how the chances of the other twin are. I know anen occurs more in twin pregnancies, so there should be info out there about this. Oh mama I'm rambling, I don't know what your best option would be. This is heartbreaking. Will be thinking of you and your babies xx

O, sweetie, what devastating news...
An 'online friend' of mine went to the exact same thing. She didn't feel she had a choice but to terminate the life of one baby. The risk of continuing pregnancy with both baby's was too high, she felt. Everything went well! I hope this nightmare is over soon.


I will pray everything will turn out fine for baby A, and i'll pray for courage and strength for you.

Thank you mamas for your thoughts and prayers! I have a level four sonogram on Wednesday and meet with the MFM specialist who will perform the selective termination. As much as I read on it, nothing can prepare me for that event. Just thinking of it I cringe- Baby A thankfully is good, but just don't know how all these "invasive" procedures will affect the remainder of the pregnancy. All I can do is "let go and let God" and see what will happen! I started this journey wanting a little girl, now I just want my baby A and mourn for my baby B!

All I have to say is the worst procedure of my life and the Dr was a nightmare!

Not only because my baby was fighting for his or her life after being injected with potassium chloride, the heart resumed and they had to inject the baby again (horrific event)

I regret getting pregnant, I regret putting my own health at risk,my child's health at risk! I regret having to do this and most importantly I HATE how I feel about myself!

To all that the Stupid DR did not like my baby's placenta- so I decided NOT to have anymore procedures! She said there appear to be blood around it or on it and it could be do to my blood thinners- she wasn't too HAPPY with my baby's placenta.

However the 2nd DR that saw me was much nicer and told me the placenta was ok and that he has seen many like this that heal with time. He said to monitor baby growth and that's all!

As to the technician, she was sweet and kind - told me to rest lots and drink a bunch of water! She thinks my surviving twin might be a boy but too early to tell as I was only 12weeks 5 days, based on that I'm convincing myself of another boy- just not to get disappointed!

Please continue to pray for us, I'm an emotional mess and so so so sad!

I am praying like crazy for the surviving baby but Jewelle, please please please do not beat yourself up for this, it is NOT your fault. Things happen, good and bad. Focus all of your energy on your baby and his survival, he needs you! You are a wonderful person and don't deserve this but it surely isn't even close to being your fault. It wasn't the sway, it wasn't your desire for a girl, it was bad luck and random fate. Big big big hugs. Please take a load off your heart and be kind to yourself mama.

So I called him at 1 am and he flipped out at me saying never to call again he doesn't care what the emergency. It was horrible. Sometimes doctors make me so mad. They need to care more!

Ladies,



I am mess right now. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while but things have not been good this pregnancy.

Last week, we found out our baby-who we now know is our 4th boy- had a echogenic bowl (meaning two white spots on tummy) this the Peri said could be a number of things: down syndrome, cystic fibrois, infection, or swallowing blood in amniotic fluid or IGUR. Adding to this the baby was 8 days behind and my amniotic fluid was a 7cm total which is on the low end.

Fast forward to yesterday, the echogenic bowl is still there and all test came up negative-Materni21, Amnio, Blood Test etc....but now my amniotic fluid is at a 3cm, baby is measuring 13 days behind and 13oz, basically the Dr gave us NO hope at all- he said if things don't improve my body would go into labor or I would come next appointment to find out my baby had passed.

I am mess right now, I have been crying my eyes out- I don't even care he is not a girl, I just love this little boy and feel terrible for wanting him to be a girl when all along there was more things for me to worry about like his health.

My options right now are to terminate by next week- I'll be 23 weeks and it's illegal after 24 weeks or prepare for a future stillbirth, if things don't improve. I'm cannot believe I put my self, this baby, my husband and children in this situation.

This pregnancy started out as twins lost B due to anecepphaly and now this! I feel as if I am being punished for trying again all because we wanted a girl. I just need a miracle to happen here- this is so unfair and hurts me so much.

Thank you all for listening and I appreciate your prayers....

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with such hard news & difficult decision!

Did they suggest increasing your fluid intake? Depending on the reason for low fluid, sometimes the mother drinking a lot more can increase it. Also, fluid is really hard to measure. It's kind of like looking up from under a bathtub with an adult in it & trying to guess how full it is.

I'm so sorry honey, I'm hoping you get your miracle, thinking of you and your little boy. We're here for you, keep us posted and feel free to vent. Hugs xxxx
You're not being punished, most of us on here are here because of gender desire/family balancing. You've just had a really tough time through sheer bad luck. It was nothing you did or thought x

Wow Jewel, I was just thinking about you and wondering how things were going. I am so sorry to hear that you're still going to through so much and once again being asked to make such hard decisions. Maybe get a second opinion before you decide on anything.

Keeping everything crossed for you that things turn around for you. xx

Thank you for your support and prayers. Our little LO is not going to make it sadly, the doctor saw little to no improvement- the baby looked really smooshed on the ultrasound. Looks like he is over working his brain and heart to survive- so defintely signs of stress, amnio fluid was not improved- in fact they only found a even smaller pocket of 1 cm, at this point we are going to wait for the inevitable. I feel bad putting my baby, self, husband and family through this sadness. I wish we never had tried and feel super guilty over having gender dissapointment at some point in this pregnancy.

Life will never be the same and I am forever scared by this experience but super thankful and grateful for the amazing boys and husband that I have.

I just want to thank all of you for your prayers, kind words, words of encouragement and support. This has to be the longest, hardest journey I could have ever experienced but as they say all things happens for a reason. My soul feels sick to think my little boy will not be with me in the next couple of days and we will have to induce labor but I know he will not hurt and be in a better place.

Thank you mommas for your prayers and support! Our story still continues....



By the mighty grace of God- this is all short of miracle.



I went in on Monday only to be told all these devasting facts and that our little one will not make it- I was scheduled for an induction yesterday but early in the morning I felt some movement and wanted to see the Peri- I walked in only to be told the same thing as Monday and that the baby continued to be viable, he said it’s only a matter of hours now.



On Wednesday we got ready to go to the place for induction, on our ride there the Peri called us and said that he had sent my records to a Fetal Therapy Specialist at one of the best hospitals, for a second opinion since the baby was still viable- the Fetal Therapy Specialist wanted to be sure that my possible placenta abruption wasn't going to cause an issue if we induced the baby once he passed.



After 3 hours of ultrasound, the Fetal Therapy Specialist which I learned happens to be the last stop after a Perinatologist, said “There is absolutely nothing wrong with your baby, yes he is a small but and the amnio is low but that is normal due to his size. My AFI was a 6 and the baby was about 2 weeks behind, but still active and moving. They did a very thorough examination and he said this baby is perfect, nothing wrong with him other than he is small. He said our goal is to get to 34 weeks. You are 24 weeks today and baby measures 22 but he is growing! We could not be more relieved and excited that our pregnancy will continue – we are still not of the woods because he really wants him to be born at 34 weeks but said that if we get to 29 weeks he has a 95% survival chance. I feel like I hit the lottery J Thank you all for your prayers, these next ten weeks I have to take it real easy but our baby will make it- yay!!!!

Thank you mommas! I am so excited, you have no idea what a relief to know that he is perfect and will be okay. I love this little guy so much. I can't wait to have him in my arms and safe- still a few weeks to go but so so close. Thank you for those prayers and I will keep everyone posted on our next adventure :-)

The Peri called me and said he heard from the specialist- he was still adamant about what he saw Monday and said we are not completely out of the woods and that the next 10 weeks would be like walking on a minefield but that if we made it to that 34 week mark, this baby would do wonderfully. I think I'll be changing Peri's afterall- and continue with the Fetal Therapy Specialist. In the same breath, he said the specialist you saw is the God's of Perinatology so if he says nothing is wrong, you can be encouraged by that! In that case, I'll go to the person who knows what he is talking about, instead of one who gives awful opinions and diagnosis.

Wow Jewelle! What awesome news. You have been on such a roller coaster.

It is scary how quickly some drs can make decisions without looking into things more, I'm so glad you got a second opinion and that they are so much more positive.

Your little man is such a little fighter, as is his mummy, and I'm sending you all my thoughts and prayers for a much less eventful 10weeks. 💜

Just an update from today’s visit- 6 days later …..

God is good ladies, I am so so happy with today’s report.

The baby looks perfect and the amnio fluid increased from a 6 cm to a 10.83 cm- almost an 11cm. Dr. says at this rate looks like we might be heading to full term
I couldn’t be more grateful!!! The baby’s measurement were perfect, still on small side but he looks great and now weighs over a 1 pound- Yay! I’ll be 25 weeks Friday and my next visit is at 27 weeks.

I am so so so grateful and excited! My little miracle is doing fantatic….yay
