Just much more frequent monitoring that I didn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835936 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:25:57 +0000 sera_87 835936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was considered high risk b/c I had gastric bypass less than 2 yrs before getting pregnant (my 2yr anniversary coincided with being 37 weeks) &amp; they just wanted to make sure my diet was sufficient to support a growing baby. Just meant I switched appointments between high-risk &amp; the regular ob &amp; extra ultrasounds &amp; NST at the end. No real biggie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835923 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:23:52 +0000 LovelyPlum 835923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tr14ue: you sound like a pretty strong Mama yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835827 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:00:08 +0000 littlek 835827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was high risk because lots of bleeding 1st trimester and then LO measured so large and I'm very petite. I will be high risk again because my LO came at 34 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835821 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:57:28 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 835821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No....but my OB wants to always see me the minute I get pregnant because she said I have low Progesterone and it will more than likely be an issue with all pregnancies I have. I took it with my son and my OB said I "dodged" an MC and then I got pregnant after my son and had an MC most likely because I didn't know and therefor never went in for progesterone.<br /> It is annoying to take progesterone suppositories for 13w straight, but at least I get to see my OB at 4w (and more often) instead of waiting the 10 or 11w like other gals. For a worried mama like me, that's good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835797 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:52:59 +0000 stargal 835797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup found put I have a blood clotting disorder (that can lead to stillbirth if untreated)when I was pregnant at 14 weeks so had to do lovenox injections everyday and ser a specialist monthly. In my third trimester I got twice weekly nst and weekly ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835690 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:31:32 +0000 DillonLion 835690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: It is so hard to be pregnant!

I'm "advanced maternal age" at 35 :-S, I'm overweight, I have GD and now I have borderline high blood pressure. My body is not loving being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835659 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:21:46 +0000 anbanan15 835659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: @Mrs. Jacks: Add me to the autoimmune shenanigans list.</p> <p>The biggest difference so far is monthly labs, medication adjustments and more time at MFM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835592 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:06:40 +0000 meganmp 835592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically, yes, because there were two little buggers in there, but I didn't consider myself high risk. I didn't get put on extra monitoring until 30ish weeks, because they kiddos were behaving so well. I got taken off of work at 34 weeks, but she would have let me go on longer if I had wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-835556 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 10:59:14 +0000 Cherrybee 835556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I will hopefully have more of an idea how long they will let me go at my growth scan in a couple of weeks. I'm controlling it like a rock star now though!! I reckon I will be a 39 weeker, too - and you know what?? I don't care any more, as long as my little girl is healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-834615 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:35:20 +0000 MaisyMay 834615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I am type 2 diabetic and they let me go to 39 weeks. It all depends on how controlled you are. And LO was 7 lbs 3, so not insanely large at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-834569 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 23:09:39 +0000 tr14ue 834569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Wow!!How did you manage to stay upbeat about pregnancy?? Did you go full term with our last? You must really be a strong person....I am kind of discouraged about having anymore since it seems I will have problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-834555 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:45:14 +0000 skibobrown 834555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had partial placenta previa from 20 to 30-something weeks, so I had to get regular ultrasounds to monitor it. My doctor also cut me off from flying pretty early b/c of the added risk to the baby and myself if I went into preterm labor. It cleared up towards the end of my pregnancy, so I was allowed to deliver naturally.<br /> Not sure if any of this actually counts as high-risk... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-834551 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:38:47 +0000 junebugmama 834551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 4 miscarriages prior to delivering LO. Then he was forced out due to pre-e </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-834549 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:36:25 +0000 tr14ue 834549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a still birth with my first pregnancy in which I was told was a cord accident, but did not believe and neither did the doctor I saw before being transferred to MFM (with my 3rd and current). I had a bulging water bag and went into PTL at 32 w 5d and delivered at 34w with my second. I had some bleeding from about 15w to 19w with my current pregnancy and am facing a short cervix. Im currently 25 weeks and hoping to make it to the end (At least 37 weeks) this time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809520 Sat, 25 May 2013 21:24:48 +0000 PrincessBaby 809520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an SCH but it was actually nice bc I got really frequent u/s:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809519 Sat, 25 May 2013 21:23:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 809519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: same here. I was like, "but I have this". They seemed unconcerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809474 Sat, 25 May 2013 20:56:40 +0000 MrsH 809474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: lol, I love the term shenanigans. I've got a couple of autoimmune issues. Oddly enough they don't want to see me tis time until 9 weeks. Seems like a really long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809464 Sat, 25 May 2013 20:51:42 +0000 MamaMoose 809464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I had a prior miscarriage and then a number of unexplained bleeding episodes. And lots of fun ER trips!! One at 15 weeks for dehydration from the stomach flu. One at 18 weeks because there was concern that my water broke, one at 26 weeks for some heavier bleeding where they discovered I having pre term contractions so I was out on modified bed rest and had to take meds to control the contractions, and then one at 34 weeks for an intense UTI. But I managed to keep her in there and had a perfectly healthy baby at 40+1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809342 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:25:14 +0000 pinkb 809342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt get the label until 32 weeks when I went into pre-term labor. Was put on meds to stop contractions and bedrest. Weekly appointments and twice a week stress tests. Only made it to 36 weeks, but LO was born healthy. I was told I would be considered high risk for future pregnancies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-809337 Sat, 25 May 2013 19:12:58 +0000 matador84 809337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had extremely heavy bleeding at 8 weeks which caused high threat of m/c. I had pre-e and ultimately made it exactly 40 weeks which is amazing! I truly credit my ob's diligence and attention to my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808931 Sat, 25 May 2013 13:28:21 +0000 beachbee 808931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, multiples so we had to switch to MFM practice and have frequent ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808639 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:54:39 +0000 Dandelion 808639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, cause DS was 8 weeks early.</p> <p>Even more so next time, now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808634 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:46:57 +0000 winniebee 808634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start out high risk, but ended up as high risk after going into preterm labor at 30 weeks. I didn't deliver pre-term though so I'm not sure if I'll be considered high risk next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808548 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:04:39 +0000 Trailmix 808548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considered high-risk bc I'm carrying twins. For me, it has meant a lot of extra monitoring, which I actually really appreciate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808402 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:41:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 808402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: shenanigans, huh?! I also have an autoimmune issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy#post-808401 Fri, 24 May 2013 22:39:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 808401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. First of all, I was a "geriatric" pregnancy due to being 38 years old. I had a sub-chorionic hemorrhage, hyperemesis, then later hypertension and at delivery was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and a mild cord rupture. Despite all that, it went really smoothly and I had the delivery of my dreams. </p>
