Since I am excited about going and seeing my daughter tomorrow at the NICU, I thought I would share my birth story.
On March 4th, all day and through the night I was feeling weird. My feet and legs were swollen beyond belief, I had the same headache for days on end, I couldn't sleep and I knew my blood pressure was way up. I called the on call doctor at the hospital to see if i could get an appointment for the next morning early. March 5th at 9 a.m. I went in and they immediatley detected protein in my urine and sent me to the local hospital for bloodwork and the baby to be monitored. After being there for 5 hours the doctor said they were transferring me to another hospital over an hour away because I had preeclampsia and I might have to deliver my baby early. I was transported by ambulance and got there, where I spent the next 4 days in horrible pain, on bedrest. I received a catheter because I was told I could not get out of bed due to my blood pressure, I was close to stroking out. no pain meds helped the headache or pain in my side. They did bloodwork 5 times a day, everyday. On March 10th the bloodwork finally came back resulting with my liver function being sky high. I asked to be induced because I wanted a natural delivery. They started pitocin. At this point, I was laying I bed sobbing in so much pain because of the headache, and I couldn't even hold my eyes open. After 5 hours in pitocin and no progression, I requested a c-section. My daughter was born at 6:29 p.m. at 4 pounds and 1.3 ounces at 32 weeks and 4 days.

I think they missed the HELLP, judging from your other posts. I guess it doesn't matter now as long as you're feeling better. The liver issue is only a pregnancy related issue- it resolves itself after delivery. Either way, you went through some serious shit ( is else you were on mag... That stuff is pure evil in fluid form).
I will do that! my liver was failing, they just never mentioned HELLP. just "severe preeclampsia".
You mentioned your liver having issues. HELLP syndrome is a rare pregnancy related complication that affects the blood and liver function. They don't know why it happens- actually there's not a bunch of info on it that I can find, but some say it's an extra added-on thing of preeclampsia but I've heard of other women who had the liver issue without preeclampsia. After you recover and life settles down you may want to request your hospital medical records go see exactly what they did and what they diagnosed you with. It's good info to have in the future.
Congrats on your itty bitty by the way. How rude of me not to say that.
I'd like to think of myself as the preemie mom leader of the Preggie app. I try to add all the other preemie moms here. I delivered my itty bitty at 29 weeks because of severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
