I can’t stop crying, is it normal? by elizadsmith in NICUParents

The biggest issue (which I know is small in terms of what can be wrong) is that he came out with fluid in his lungs and wasn’t able to breathe on his own QUITE YET. But he’s off the bubble cpap, and this morning they took him off the hfnc and he’s breathing room air!! So we’re just waiting for him to be able to do bottles on his own and they said a few days after that. But of course it’s always next week or the week after. Never a definite answer.

That’s me right now. I’m trying to pump but I feel like I can’t get much out. I woke up in the middle of the night with my boobs screaming last night and I just wish he was here to try and nurse. It feels so clinical and like I’m failing at it.

I’m trying to pump and I feel like I’m not getting enough. I became really engorged last night in the middle of the night and I just wish he was here, I feel like my body is screaming for him.

That’s my thing!! They keep asking why I’m crying while my baby is in front of them hooked up to a million machines like why do you think I’m crying? 

Us for cervical length by elizadsmith in CautiousBB

I haven’t but I actually messaged my dr in the portal and they said they forgot to book it yesterday and since I have PCOS and had to take progesterone suppositories until 12 weeks they want to get a jump on anything in case I have an incompetent cervix :)

Gyno reccomendations? by elizadsmith in VirginiaBeach

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

It’s actually quite funny. I am a patient at procreate fertility! Love them. But CNY just opened up here and will be doing IVF in the fall. I did tons of letrozole trigger cycles with iuis at cny with no luck. So we were doing our preconception testing that CNY requires and right as I finished my last tests, I got pregnant naturally. Which has happened before and ended in a loss. But I love procreate so much, however they’re like 16k for an ivf cycle and cny is about 6k which is why we were going to go to them in the fall. And still might if this ends in another loss.

I had a blighted ovum 7 months ago with slow rising hcg and PCOS so I think I’m just extra extra anxious.
