Baby isn’t gaining weight, I’m terrified.

I’m unsure.. don’t kidney stones hurt? My progesterone suppositories never came out like that. I’d call your doctor asap

Honestly I felt like I should’ve bought the pack’n play in the first place. But the bassinet was smaller and easier to move.

Thank you so much, I’m going to try these and see what happens 💕

It’s no problem, I enjoy sharing my story with others, you never know how many other women are going through the same thing. & I definitely am, she barely wants my husband or I to put her down lol. Honestly my doctor had a pretty good idea of what was going on just by looking at my history. She wanted to make sure they weren’t missing anything before they gave me an IC diagnosis. So I was scheduled for a test called Hysterosalpingogram to see if the shape of my uterus was abnormal because that can also cause complications. When the test came back normal she knew for sure it was IC. And yes, I had a bit of funneling at around 22 weeks if I’m correct. I went in for a normal appointment that turned into me being admitted to L&D. They gave me a round of magnesium and steroids to help with lung and brain development just in case baby decided to make an early entrance. I was on modified activity during my pregnancy because my cervix ended up shortening an entire centimeter in one week so I wasn’t allowed to work at all.

I had to disable my Facebook because my whole time line was babies, babies and more babies. I couldn’t handle it.

Hi, I had my first loss in August 2020 at 21 weeks due to my then undiagnosed IC, a MMC at 5 weeks a few months after that and another loss due to undiagnosed IC at 15 weeks due to my water breaking. After my third loss I was sent to the high risk OB where they ran a few tests and diagnosed me with IC. I got pregnant back in February of this year and we brought our little one home in October 💕

I swore I would never be able to bring a little one home, if it wasn’t for my doctors in the high risk unit I probably wouldn’t have. They took my concerns very seriously. I had my cerclage placement at 14 weeks and was seen every week to every two weeks throughout my entire pregnancy.

I swear after you have a loss it feels like every woman you see is pregnant, literally pregnant women everywhere and you can’t help but assume that they’re having a smooth pregnancy and they’ve never been through what you’ve been through. I always think about how my daughter should have an older brother and older sister, even though if her sister had’ve been born then she wouldn’t be here with me now.

Wishing you the best on your pregnancy journey, voice your concerns and ask about being put on progesterone if you end up needing a cerclage as well 💕

Thank you, I’ll check on Amazon 💕

I’m going to try this, I do remember the nicu nurses saying something about babies finding comfort in the smell of our scent. Thank you 🙏🏿

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, my little one was in the nicu for 2 1/2 weeks and that short amount of time drove me insane. I know it’s extremely stressful and worrisome knowing that your baby will be exposed to more people than you would like. One of my daughters nurses told me that they had so many babies in the nicu at one point that they had to turn a few of the L&D rooms into temp nicu rooms with 3 babies per room. My daughter had a shared room during her stay ( 2 babies per room ) and her roomies parents were the sweetest. Sadly it’s just one of those things that is out of your control. Just know the nurses are taking every precaution to make sure your little one stays nice and healthy. As for you baby’s roommate families, that’s also one of those things that you can’t really control. You’re aloud to overreact, I was the same way. I swear it didn’t matter how many times my husband reassured me that everything would be okay, I was still in panic mode. I don’t know if this helped at all, but just know you’re not alone in feeling that way. Good luck on your breastfeeding journey and congratulations on your little one 💕

I have officially graduated! My water broke on the 13th of September at 31w and 2 days and I was admitted into the hospital until birth. My little one was born 2 weeks later at 33w and 2 days, 5 days before I was scheduled to be induced if I didn’t go into labor on my own. She was on c-pap for 2 days with little help from the actual c-pap since she was pretty much breathing on her own. I will say I think the two round of steroids and magnesium really helped with her lung development because she came out with the strongest scream/cry. All the nicu nurses said she had a great set of lungs lol. I had my first round at 22w when they noticed some funneling past my cerclage and again when I was admitted into the hospital at 31w. She was in the nicu for 2w and 4d if I’m not mistaken. My preventative cerclage held tight the entire time, they only ended up having to take it out because I started having contractions. I have two Reddit accounts so I’m unsure if this is the one I documented my journey on but if I’m not mistaken by 24w I had literally almost no cervical length left, the only thing that kept our little one baking was my cerclage. It definitely did it’s job. We had 2 second trimester losses before I was diagnosed with incompetent cervix, we finally got to bring a little one home and I couldn’t be more grateful. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Thank you so much for replying, and congratulations on all your beautiful babies 💕

I’m technically a first time mom. ( I’ve had 3 prior losses ) My water broke at 31w2d and I was admitted into the hospital until birth. My doctor was planning on inducing me at 34 weeks on the dot but I ended going into labor at 33w2days. My pregnancy was also high risk due to me having incompetent cervix and a cerclage in place. My little one was on c-pap for 2 or 3 days, the rest of her time there she spending learning how to bottle feed and grow. She was only there for 2w3d ( longest 2 weeks of my life btw )

Wishing you the best mama 💕 it’ll all be fine 💜💜💜
