It was a twin pregnancy, we needed assistance to get pregnant, and some other issues early on. So.many.doctor.appointments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2376231 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 21:15:40 +0000 auggiefrog 2376231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My current pregnancy is high risk due to poor test results. I'm being monitored to make sure the baby is getting what it needs from my placenta. There also might be a VBC issue with the babies heart that we are currently checking out. I never thought I would be getting so many ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2376177 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 20:18:27 +0000 Ash 2376177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a high risk pregnancy for either but my second delivery was slightly high risk because I was a vbac. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1/page/2#post-2376175 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 20:16:12 +0000 Truth Bombs 2376175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was. I had a number of bleeding incidents and I had preterm contractions starting at 26 weeks. But she stayed in until 40+1 and was perfectly healthy. LO2 gave me blood pressure issues at 36 weeks so I got put on bedrest. But my water broke 9 days later so the bedrest didn't last long. He was born small and lost 12% of body weight . He's only 11 days old so we're still working on fattening him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2376170 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 20:11:12 +0000 yin 2376170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GD with both my pregnancies. LO2 was also below average in size and had VSD.

Since my first pregnancy ended a bit early (37+0) with an abrupted placenta and PPROM, my next pregnancy will be high-risk due to those factors as well.</p> <p>Hoping I don't have GD again (it was well controlled with a very very careful diet), but apparently my wish is unlikely to come true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2376141 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 19:34:25 +0000 Caly 2376141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was monitored closely because of twins and had a couple issues along the way but they never said the words "high risk" and I never asked. I spose it probably was...I didn't vote, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2376127 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 19:10:33 +0000 Ginabean3 2376127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was considered high risk with my second because my first came at 30w5d!

I plan on asking at my annual Friday because I'd like to try for a vbac next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2376038 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 17:40:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2376038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully both have been low risk. My midwife even has me coming in a little less frequently than normal since everything has been by the book and it's annoying getting to appointments. </p> <p>38 weeks with my second tomorrow, so almost past the point where anything could be high risk I guess. I've been very lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2376026 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 17:25:36 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2376026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know that I would officially be considered high risk, but I did have a lot of things going on and saw I think five doctors (3 of them regularly and 2 were one time visits) plus my OB consulted with the fetal medicine dr at the hospital, plus ER doctors and a hospital stay during my second pregnancy. I had early bleeding/vanishing twin, UTIs, and was on antibiotics for another pesky thing from 8 weeks on. The first was completely routine. Thankfully my son was born totally healthy. I didn't feel well enough to breastfeed (thrush and another new round of antibiotics in the first two weeks, general exhaustion- like beyond newborn exhaustion- and a three year old too) which has been sad for me, but other than that and a 3 day hospital stay for my newborn (a cold with a fever, so monitoring), things have gone really well. I have to say it has given me a whole new perspective on things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375976 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 16:45:13 +0000 travellingbee 2375976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: ha ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375950 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 16:29:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2375950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was with my first due to GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375946 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 16:27:30 +0000 Torchwood 2375946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First 2 were m/c, third baby had severe hydrocephalus (ended in medically necessary termination at 32 weeks), fourth they did a ton of monitoring because of hydro concerns. Also, as it turns out, I was high risk for preterm labor, but no one took it seriously until it was too late. We're done, but if we weren't any further pregnancies would be high risk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375943 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 16:26:14 +0000 autumnlove 2375943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for my 3rd.

Do you have to be monitored more? I had progesterone shots last time, and I know I'll need to do them again (already asked my doctor), but I wasn't thinking that anything else would be necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375896 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 15:54:41 +0000 MrsStar 2375896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Each pregnancy for me is high risk because of my bleeding disorder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375859 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 15:27:56 +0000 Mamasig 2375859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GD with my 2nd.

LO#1 had no issues but LO#2 had some breathing issues (probably bc she was a premie) and was in the NICU for 10 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-1#post-2375833 Wed, 02 Dec 2015 15:06:58 +0000 sunshineandsushi 2375833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was high-risk because I was carrying twins.
