Hello! I'm a mom of 4 and I work full time. I also recently went back to school. My hobbies include trying to fit sleep into my schedule and remembering how to be a person. My life is hectic with 3 so close in age and a new baby but who would want to change anything? If I have any free time I enjoy reading and writing and binge watching shows with my SO. I'm a fairly open book so feel free to ask any questions or just chat me up. 😊

My rainbow baby made a dramatic entrance into the world on May 18 at 39w 1d. Woke up thinking my water broke but it was a lot of blood with large clots. Rushed to the hospital where I was having mild contractions and my water was still intact. The bleeding stopped so they wanted to try and progress my labor. They started with a foley balloon since I was a tight 3cm dilated but it caused the bleeding to start again. They stopped that and started me on a low dose of pitocin. The bleeding stopped a...

Very excited to find out my Sneak Peek test was wrong. I am thrilled to add another little girl to the mix!

Peregrine, always in our hearts ❤

We had a strong heartbeat of 142! I'm less anxious now but I'm sure it won't go away completely.

I go today for my first scan and I am a nervous wreck. I'm 7weeks 4days. I was 9 weeks when I miscarried. I had a dream last night that we saw the baby, but there was no heartbeat. I woke up heartbroken and now I can't shake the dread the dream left me with. I have to work half a day so I have no idea how I'm going to be able to concentrate. It needs to be 1:30 so I can know if this is my rainbow or if I'll be grieving again.

I should be 5 weeks now. I'm losing tons of hair. I normally shed a good bit but it's always slowed way down during my pregnancies. I kept losing hair with my last pregnancy and I ended up losing it at 9 weeks. Now I'm freaking out about this one! Can anything else cause hair loss during pregnancy? 😔

My doctor had me go in for another blood draw for hcg. 48 hours ago my level was 72. It's not only 122. So it didn't double. This is bad, right? Shouldn't it double this early in pregnancy? I'm so worried I'm going to lose this baby too.

Got my second hcg blood work back. 72 hours after my first. First draw was 16, this one is 72. Things are looking good for a sticky baby!

Ugggh. I know it takes at least 48 hours for hcg to double and that I shouldn't be a serial tester but here I am. I'm out of frer so I'm using dollar store tests and I'm still getting lines but they are so light. Logically I know it's most likely because these tests aren't as sensitive as frer but it's SO disheartening to see faint lines after strong ones and a positive digital. I think I have a problem. 😥😥😥

Alright ladies I need some more advice. I work at an oral surgeon's office. We use nitrous oxide and have an older system so it is not all filtered out. I know I'm not supposed to be around it, as it can cause miscarriage and/or preterm birth. Since for the time being I'm playing the waiting game, should I tell my boss or not? I am working today to help out and of course I'll be there Monday as well before I go back for my repeat bloodwork. I've never told a boss so early in the pregnancy before...
