Excited for this weekend and next weekend. This weekend we are taking our kids to a water park for the weekend. Next weekend we are all going camping. should be interesting. lol Hopefully I can sleep in a tent with this big belly....HAHA.

Sounds like fun Zem, we decided to go on a holiday to and I'll be 33 going on 34 weeks then. No sleeping in a tent but hopefully I'm not too tired to do anything. We haven't ever done cord blood banking and probably won't this time, I want to have delayed cord clamping too.

So glad to hear about you girls planning trips. My hubby has a work thing in northern cali beginning of oct. I have taken Jack with me home to texas and on a short trip to visit a friend, but as a family we have not done anything! My hubby's busy time at work is the summer.

Anyway, Zem, not so brave for a tent, but still looking forward to getting out! Hope you have a great time!

Oh Zem you are so brave! I am starting to have a hard time sleeping in my bed even with pregnancy pillows. I can't even imagine sleeping in a tent right now.

Hope everyone enjoys their vacations. I'm so sad that summer is winding down, but so happy that I get to hold my baby this fall.

Hey ladies- I'm having a really emotional time right now....

I had bloodwork yesterday that came back that I'm slightly anemic and my thyroid level is low. Now I'll be starting medication for that. Reading up on it I found that if I don't treat the thyroid issues, there could be developmental delays. I hope the treatment we're starting takes care of it. I also read that the thyroid issue could cause miscarriages and I've had two, so I have to wonder if that played a role in those.

I also had bloodwork this morning to test for IPC (Home). If I have IPC, I'll need to start medication for that and I'll need to deliver by 37 weeks because there is a significant risk for stillbirth after 37 weeks. The lab said to expect the results in 2 weeks. I guess I just get to worry until then.

Not sure exactly why I'm sharing this- I guess I just need to get it out there and talk about it.

I hope everyone else is doing well and staying complication free.

So sorry you have to take the meds and all, hopefully the bloods come back just fine and you don't have to worry about the IPC as well. I know not much encouragement on my part, all I can say is everything will work out... That's what I always tell myself in these kind of situations.

Sorry you're having a hard time Squamgirl, there are lots of things that can cause miscarriage and is so common, please don't blame yourself. And Im sure this bub will be fine developmentally. I went to have my glucose tolerance test the other day and the hospital asked if Id be part of a trial on thyroid function in pregnancy, my results aren't back yet so I don't know how mine is. The test isn't usually done here even though our iodine levels are really low.

I hoe you don't have IPC too, that can be nasty.

[squamgirl]

Thanks ladies!

I don't mind taking the medication if it means I'm doing something good for the baby. I just hope it's the correct course of action.
I have a lot of the symptoms for IPC, so I'm hoping that if it is IPC, my dr will take it seriously and do whatever is necessary to keep my baby safe.

Basically, all I want right now is for my baby to be safe.
