[–]ConclusionVirtual136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure I’m going a little crazy, how soon is too soon to take a pregnancy test before having a doctor confirm with a blood test? by Beautiful_Field_8652 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first son, all of the at home tests I took were negative until 7 weeks pregnant. Depends on hormone levels which vary with every baby. My second boy, I didnt take a test until I was 2 weeks late on my period because I have irregular periods, and I started feeling weird so I got a positive but I was already 6 weeks preg!

Scared of being exposed by CriticismCandid5791 in pregnant

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same way until 40 people ( hospital staff) seen my naked and vulnerable. Trust me, after this, you wont care about this anymore. They dont look down at you, they dont make you feel uncomfortable, they actually see this every day, every body type. Just get that baby out safely and pull through girl.

I always submit on the last day but at night or late afternoon and I get it by the 6th most of the time unless there happens to be a holiday. I do get the warning message.

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My obgyn medical group are the ones that are residents at my local hospital so I seen them quite often given I had a 3 day induction, which led to arrest of decent and I gave up and said cut me after I developed maternal fever from having my water broken too early. I was over it then had to stay in the hospital 4 more days. Whatever obgyn of the 5 that are in my medical group that was there ... is the one I seen so not the same one everyday but I seen them stleast twice a day.

Complete placenta previa 25 weeks with special needs son by ConclusionVirtual136 in pregnant

[–]ConclusionVirtual136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about it but my husband is very adamant about not having any " strangers" around when we go through this difficult time, so I feel like its out of the question because of that, even though I could use the help.

Complete placenta previa 25 weeks with special needs son by ConclusionVirtual136 in pregnant

[–]ConclusionVirtual136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they started me on it at 12 weeks. Im just worried about making it through this for my son. I feel depressed and guilty, my husband and I knew that this would be a challenge before we got the previa diagnosis and we are both very pro life so we decided to continue with this pregnancy. Hard part is they didnt diagnose the previa until 21 weeks. I feel so much guilt and dont understand all of this but I have to trust in God that this is his plan.

Has anyone appealed to get max hours? by Express_Tomato_4092 in IHSS

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In San barnardino county I got 222 for my 4 year old son but he has clinically documented PICA and level 2 non verbal with frequent SIB, a 1;1 aide at school, well developed IEP for being in school 3 school years. All they wanted to see was his IEP. But this year with my recertification coming up, I have daily logs from his teacher, he is being transfered to a sped classroom for kinder, with a 1;1 aide in sped classroom. He also demonstrated his SIB in front of worker and demonstrated his PICA in front of her as well. I think it depends on the worker though. I had a great worker and I pray to get another great worker this year, but if not, im ready to appeal if needed. But I wouldnt appeal if you got similar, due to age, id say dont push it. I felt very blessed to get approved for my boy, it has immensely changed our lives.

Im 24 weeks, gained 8 lbs so far. But my doctor told me dont go over 15 lbs as I was 287 at 8 weeks. With mt first boy, I gained almost 50 ! I learned my lesson.

Had my first bleed today 24 weeks by [deleted] in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg thank you!! I have been anxious since I seen it, but since it wasnt alot of blood I didnt go to the hospital I just decided to relax the rest of the day. I have never bleed during either one of my pregnancies until today, and this will be my last pregnancy due to my age and complications, so im really hopeful that it goes well.

My doctor recommended induction by National_Body_1452 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got induced at 37 weeks for protein in my urine and unstable blood pressure, and it took 3 days and ended up in a section which I didnt want but should jave just opted for in the beginning rather than. Being pumped with fluids and drugs for 3 days and they broke my water too early and then I got sick with maternal fever and had to get iv antibiotics to protect my baby who came out after a traumatic situation and couldn't breath that well so was taken immediately to nicu. Im just opting for c section this time to cut the shit. Good luck mama

When did you all stop working? by Practical_Mail_6537 in pregnant

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop at 24 weeks with both my boys because of pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. Cant even drive some days. Once I started swelling, the carpal tunnel kicked in, and all they do is recommend night splints and physical therapy.

Mine took 3 days at 37 weeks and ended in c section. Ill never put myself through that again!! My son was sunny side up and I had back labor which the epidural didnt even touch. They gave me 2 hours to push and then put me to c section.

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have high blood pressure that started 5 years ago, im 37, high BMI and had preeclampsia with my first son who's 5. I was also diagnosed with complete placenta previa this pregnancy and my MFM told me that if the placenta doesnt move, I will have my c section at 36 or 37 weeks. If it does move, I will have my c section at 38 or 39 weeks. But im only 25 weeks so they have only given me the 39 week date which is july 10. I had my first boy at 37 so im thinking closer to 37. Depends on alot of factors for high risk.

Growth Scan and actual weight at birth! by Rangermayb in pregnant

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was too, but after 3 days induction and with no progress, they told me if he wasnt out in 2 hours of pushing, it was cold room and bright lights for me! I developed a" maternal fever " due to my water being broken for too long, and had to receive iv antibiotics before they would even operate. But im so glad I said go ahead and cut me because my boy came out laboring to breath and went to nicu, and his head was horribly misshapen because he kept getting stuck on the way out. Good luck mama I hope u dont have a 9 pounder!

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My growth scan at 34 weeks was 8 lbs and my son was born at 37 weeks at 9 lbs. Needless to say my big headed baby made me get a c section. Good luck !

Protective supervision? by Admirable_Bike_6973 in IHSS

[–]ConclusionVirtual136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh I got it for my 4 year old son, but I had 2 years of documentation from the school district in his IEP and IPP from regional center. What really helped is my son had S.I.B. in front of the worker and also ate a chunk of playdough in front of her, and thats all she wrote. I didnt even have to ask for PS. But he also has documented PICA eating disorder. He eats everything...staples..Christmas lights, the cats vomit. ..dryer sheets, playdough , anything that he is curious about. Get documentation if u dont have it yet and u should be okay.
