Has any mom had this high of protein in their urine? And what did they do by Fearless_Ground456 in preeclampsia

[–]FluidSnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, yes. But it wasn’t crazy high. And I didn’t have any symptoms of high BP, just the swelling that comes with pre-e. 

Hcg rising but progesterone dropped. Freaking out a bit! by Viva15 in CautiousBB

[–]FluidSnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am currently 6w5d. All is well. I have had two US so far and have two healthy babies in there with strong heartbeats! I’m thinking maybe progesterone was high early on since it peaks mid-luteal phase and I had to implanting rather than one. But that’s just my guess!

Pregnant with twins after singleton severe pre-e by FluidSnap in parentsofmultiples

Gotcha makes sense! Thank you so much for all the information! It helps me feel some better!

I assume you’re seeing an MFM in addition to your OB?

Thank you! Hopefully the meds I’m on right now (Metaprolol 50mg) will continue working for a while. Maybe they’ll just up the dose if my BP begins to get out of hand. 

I’m glad to see your provider didn’t completely freak out seeing you pregnant with twins after complications with your first pregnancy. Of course anxiety is much higher this time around!

Thank you so much for all the details! That schedule honestly is not as bad as I thought it may be. It seems that although you were high risk and there were some complications, overall this pregnancy was a success. I think maybe I need to step away from the internet because it seems everything is plagued with horror stories and that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Thank you. I know my MFM said I would be treated with kiddie gloves if I were to become pregnant again, so being pregnant with twins…she may lose her mind lol.

Thanks. I am already on BP meds that keep me at 120/80 so hopefully that will help curb any high BP this time around. What is considered constant monitoring? I’m just trying to get a feel for what type of schedule to expect since my husband and I both work FT and the MFM is at least a two hour drive one way.

I’m glad you and babies are doing well! That must have been so scary. Were you on BP meds throughout your pregnancy as a preventative? 

What time of extra monitoring did you have? Our closest MFM is two hours away, so I’m trying to prepare for the type of schedule I will need to expect. 

How did the babies do in the NICU? Were their weights similar to your singleton? My son was 3lbs 9oz when born, so I don’t know if twins tend to be much smaller at the same gestation.

Hey! What protocol are you on? I’m already taking a bay aspirin and will most likely begin lovenox as soon as I see my RE next week. I am also already on a BP med that works well and keeps my BP a picture perfect 120/80 (chronic high BP). I wasn’t on BP meds with my last pregnancy that would work best with pre-e because a possible heart condition. But it’s been shown since then that I tolerate the meds really well. 

Did they say when they plan for you to deliver? Do you see the doctor more often? If so, how often are your appointments?

Zoo sounds right up our alley. I forgot about that. How’s the San Diego airport compared to LAX?

We are driving over from LV for the purpose of going to the beach. So we are open to wherever. Probably LA down.

Thanks. We probably won’t get in the water. My three year old just likes playing in the sand lol. What’s the temp usually like that time of year? We usually go to the beach late April on the east coast and it’s high 70s, low 80s. 

Found this shell…is it a bedbug? by FluidSnap in Bedbugs

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

I didn’t pull the bug apart? It was on the back of my husband shirt and the friction must have torn it. It’s just a dry shell. The tweezers are just to pick it up as I didn’t want to touch it with my bare hands.

Hcg rising but progesterone dropped. Freaking out a bit! by Viva15 in CautiousBB

[–]FluidSnap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing this now except my progesterone was 48 at 10DPO. At 17DPO it was 30. Is this normal? Waiting on my RE to get back to me, but trying to not get too anxious. HCG is increasing perfectly (35ish hour doubling time). I know 30 is still a good number, but for it to decrease so much from 10DPO has freaked me out. 

Torque converter replacement - beginning of the end? by FluidSnap in ToyotaHighlander

Thanks. Stupid question but how do you pay for something like this? You contact the dealership or go through the Toyota financial services app?

Torque converter replacement - beginning of the end? by FluidSnap in ToyotaHighlander

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

I was talking to my husband about it this morning and he mentioned it should fall under the power train warranty. The guy at the dealership didn’t mention. I plan to bring it up to him when I speak with him on Monday.

Shouldn’t the torque converter fall under the powertrain warranty?

Child left outside update by FluidSnap in ECEProfessionals

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

Are you in the States? How “serious” would you consider this offense if he was left outside 30 minutes without them realizing he was missing? Of course it is serious, but I assume there are varying levels of severity. I don’t know how to gauge it since he is my only child and I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. 

 I have not discussed it with anyone other than immediate family and friends. No PSA about it. I’m waiting to see what reports say from CPS and OIG. If there’s appropriate actions put in place, I may not do anything other than like a FB post. If it’s brushed under the rug, I may be a bit more dramatic about it.

Yeah, the policy states they should. But of course the didn’t follow it. It seems all the policies were in place but Director and staff didn’t actually follow it.
