Thank you Dreaming Rainbow!
I’m getting so annoyed. I emailed my doctor saying I need to stop the progesterone shots due to their high cost. He’s out of town for soring break so someone else is filling in. They called the financial assistance department without speaking to me first. The financial counselor was obnoxious as could be. She told me we needed to apply for assistance plus Medicaid, not stop the shots. She just couldn’t get it through her thick head no matter how many times I repeated it that we fall quite a bit outside their income guidelines and do not qualify for any assistance. She kept telling me to apply anyway, continue the shots, and wait 45 days for them to approve or deny assistance. Well, the shot costs $300 each after insurance pays. I told her I am not racking up thousands of dollars in bills waiting for the denial letter for something that is not an absolute need. Now I have to sit and argue at my appointment tomorrow with whomever is filling in that I will not be receiving anymore shots while they act obnoxious about it. There isn’t even any scientific evidence showing it benefits those delivering after 34 weeks in the first place. I’m tempted to skip my appointment altogether just to avoid the whole situation altogether, except it’s the second half of my anatomy scan and that’s important. I told my husband I wanted him to come with to back me up if they get huffy about it, but he’s expecting to be too busy.
Very gorgeous twin bump :)Quote:

Bunnygirl, how many weeks are you now? Why does your dr want you in the progesterone? I hope you are able to get it all worked out!
I’m 19 weeks now. The progesterone is because I have my babies early (35 week range) due to having a blood clotting disorder. My appointment went well and I was able to decline the progesterone without any resistance, fortunately.
Hi everyone. I have been having pain since yesterday. Went to hospital today, Dr said it could just be one of those things in pregnancy or my appendix :( has anyone ever had round ligament pain last more than a day? I'm hoping that's all it is.
Bbb my round ligament pain usually comes and goes and is dependent on what activity I’m doing. Rolling over, getting out of bed, getting up too quickly all seem to do it. But it’s never constant. Did they do a scan to check your appendix? CT scans are most affective but aren’t recommended during pregnancy.Quote:

No they only did a scan to check baby and my fibroid. The pain goes away when I lie down but comes back as soon as I get up. He said that in pregnancy the appendix is higher up and my pain is pretty low down

I spoke with a very good midwife recently about this after i seen your other post and she advised me to point you to the Home | Cochrane Library and this article: Prenatal administration of progestogens for preventing spontaneous preterm birth in women with a multiple pregnancy - Dodd - 2017 - The Cochrane Library - Wiley Online Library
this website is very helpful for a number of things especially when discussing stuff with ob's and the like, I will be using a bit of research to take with me to an appointment of mine with regards to pph and gdm when requesting to water birth again in a birth centre attached to the hospital, research always helps with everything i find especially when you feel you are being persuaded into a situation when it needs to be informed consent :)
Bunnygirl, I’m glad you were able to advocate your wishes without resistance, :)
Babybeaublue, I hope all is ok! I get round ligament pain frequently but it’s not constant
Hello ladies I havent been on here for a while. I had big ultrasound and confirmed that I am indeed having a baby boy. I couldn't be more happier than this. I been feeling great hardly feel pregnant. Besides feeling baby moving. Cant believe we all are this far in our pregnancies. Seems like time is going really fast. Dont you all remember when we first got our bfps and felt terrible at the very beginning with nausea and what not. How is everyone feeling now? Ramdom question What is everyone going to use as their birth control? I dont want to get my tubes tied but I am done my family is complete.
You can add me to the front page! Swayed girl and found out on Friday we are having a girl!! Due in August :)
Congrats lovely pink and welcome!!
Momma bear 4, Great to see your post after a break from here! So glad every thing is going so well and that your feeling good now! Congratulations on your Boy!
Lovepink, welcome and congratulations on your baby girl!

Bunny girl-Thats the thing I wouldnt want my dh to get that done just like I dont want that done on me. Just thinking of what bc I can get. With less side effects but thats effective.
Thanks ladies!!!
I can’t do birth control because of my clotting disorder. My only option other than condoms and NFP is Paragard and that failed on me, aside from having bad side effects. I got pregnant with my twins while on it. I was swaying in preparation of having it removed and TTC further down the road though. LOL
You got pregnant on Paragard? That’s terrifying, lol. I had one and liked it but the heavy periods were super annoying. I’ll probably go on the pill after this baby and DH is considering a vasectomy. If I needed a C section for some reason I would consider getting my tubes tied. I don’t want more than 3 children but it’s still hard to decide to do something permanent.Quote:

I am most likely going to go back on the pill for a few years until we are 100% positive that we are done. Then probably going to have my husband get a vasectomy. LOLQuote:

Prior to trying to get pregnant, i was on trisprintec (genetic version of ortho tricyclen lo) for about 7 years. Never had any issues and got my period like clockwork every 28 days.Quote:

No I have never experience that yankeegirl. On your next appt tell your doctor.
I had sciatic nerve my whole first pregnancy and it was painful and horrible I know how you feel, unfortunately my doctor didn't prescribe me anything that was 9 almost 10 years ago now though, I would think massages may help or some acupressure/ acupuncture and or seeing a physio who specialise in pregnant women also :)Quote:

. I’d love to see a picture of your nursery! I totally feel you in wanting baby to hurry up and be here; :).
Pinkcomestrue, great to see you in our group! Yay!!!! Welcome!
Grace, so exciting about your nursery! I’m just so tired lately it’s like first trimester all over again all I want to do is sleep! I check every 2-3 days just have been quiet and not posted in awhile! I too cannot wait until the end of June it’s so reassuring now that she moves all the time now! Miss you all! Will start posting a little more! The back pain is awful by the end of the day, but I won’t complain just happy there is a healthy little beauty growing inside of me. I go the 19th of April to do glucose test, officially schedule csection date, second part of ultrasound, and sign paper for tubal.
Mommy2apples, I’m So tired lately too. I’m looking forward to starting my maternity leave so I can get everything done I need to get done before the girls come! It’s lookimg like I’ll start my leave a little early since it’s twins and my guy is an OB gyn. He talked to my OB and they agreed to put me off work at 28 weeks. After all the work and money to get these girls conceived and to their point, he doesn’t want to take any chances. I feel a bit spoiled lol. But they might come early so it’ll give me time to get everything ready. My back hurts by the end of the day too, but my biggest complaint has been the rib pain. It’s intense! I do completely feel they’ll be worth it. Although when my guy says he really hopes I make it to 38 weeks, I glare at him. I’m thinking I don’t think I want the go past 37 weeks when they’re full term. The rib pain is awful! I’m doing my glucose test this Saturday morning. I’m sure I’ll fail it. That’s so exciting that you’ll get your actual C/S date!!!! We’re getting so close!!!!
Hi Everyone! Exciting to see all the updates! I just had a 3D ultrasound this past weekend and we are having a GIRL! We are thrilled! So far my pregnancy has been okay... and since I am now in my 16th week, I am feeling better, less headaches and evening nausea, and less tiredness. We will see how long the feeling good last. Just praying it does, and that this baby remains healthy!
Someone was asking about birth control. I think I am going to do the Mirena, that will give us 5 years to decide if we are done, and if we are my husband will go and get a vasectomy. I have heard that after the initial adjustment to Mirena you periods become almost non-existent, which will be nice.
Someone else had mentions Sciatica pain. I had this terribly with my first pregnancy. There are stretches you can do to ease the pain. Luckily we have a sleep number bed and I was able to adjust my side to softer and that made all the difference. Maybe you could add a pillow-top or something to make it more cushier.
Now on to picking out how we will decorate the nursery! I am thinking vintage florals...
Ellirosanne! I imagine it is excruciating with the twins! It’s so exciting we are so close now! Yes when you are ready! 37 weeks is a good time too! That is awesome 28 weeks you will be maternity leave! How long until you are? Yes they are for sure worth the tiredness and pain! So worth once they are here!
MeaganB!! Congrats on your girl and pinkscometrue!!
Ladies so nice to see u back! I wondering if this page had gone dead. I'm 22w today and still waiting for tiredness to lift ! It has a little this past fortnight but still waiting for my 2nd trimester mojo!
We had anomaly scan last week and all is well with baby- perfectly average which is music to my ears. 2 more weeks and I've reached viability stage!
Poor u guys suffering with back pain and rib pain. My biggest complaint at the mo is heartburn- ugh!
