I will have pre eclampsia with each pregnancy and my babies will always be born no later than 37 weeks and need nicu time. it sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647858 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 03:58:36 +0000 Pumuckl 2647858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: No not quite that was just a weird word order, only 25+1w today.

They did a couple extra ultrasounds and then nst testing from 34 weeks on. The steroids I take to control my asthma can cause low fluid. Ended up being induced at 37 weeks for high blood pressure. I'm sure I'll be high risk next time too, since now there's asthma and the hypertension. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647769 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 20:53:08 +0000 LML 2647769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in one now due to identical twins. I'm also 36, but none of my doctors have mentioned that as an issue. Everything is going smoothly so far so I want to keep this up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647735 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 20:24:45 +0000 tinyperson 2647735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GD with both kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647732 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 20:22:17 +0000 arosebyany 2647732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe? I was diagnosed with pre-e at 34 weeks and was delivering at 36, with ridiculous high blood pressure that didn't go down until 9 weeks pp. if I was to ever have another baby(I'm not) I would definitly be high risk then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647728 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 20:15:45 +0000 auggiefrog 2647728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My PAPP-A was very low, and my AFP was higher than normal. I also had a two vessel umbilical cord, so I received extra ultrasounds throughout my pregnancy. DS was measuring right on track during the monitoring, but was born only 6lb, 5oz at 39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647635 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:41:30 +0000 jaguar 2647635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Georgia was low risk. Claire was high risk with the cervical issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647624 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:34:14 +0000 MrsRcCar 2647624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am considered high risk when I am pregnant. I have a heart<br /> condition, plus history of preterm labor. It doesn't seem to really effect me too much tho. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647618 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:22:51 +0000 travellingbee 2647618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: wow 30 weeks already!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647617 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:22:07 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2647617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GD with DS and with DD I had vasa praevia which they caught at the beginning of my third trimester. Everything was fine until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647614 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 18:07:54 +0000 Kemma 2647614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically, yes, due to GD but the only change to my care was seeing an OB 2-3 times and having two growth scans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647595 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 17:07:50 +0000 MrsA 2647595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my OB considers me high-risk but my paperwork all says I am because of a low Papp-a level. I'll have two additional ultrasounds with the MFM office but that's all I'm aware of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647569 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 16:19:03 +0000 IRunForFun 2647569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first pregnancy and I'm considered high risk due to a blood clotting disorder. I give myself blood thinner injections daily and take a baby aspirin. I have ultrasounds with MFM every 4 weeks and then it'll be weekly at the end. It also looks like I have GD... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647560 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 16:08:58 +0000 SweetiePie 2647560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was considered high risk because of Cholestasis but I didn't find out I had it till 35/36 weeks and was induced at 37+2 because of it. So I was high risk for like a week. Haha. </p> <p>The chance of recurrence in future pregnancies is pretty high (I think about 70%), but I'm not sure if that automatically means high risk for future pregnancies?? I should find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647522 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 15:14:55 +0000 Pumuckl 2647522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I became higher risk with LO2 because of a shortened cervix at 30w now with that history and my twin pregnancy I am high risk. But for now all is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647520 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 15:14:41 +0000 catlady 2647520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so? I'm AMA with a history of loss but no one has ever used the term high risk with me. I haven't had any extra monitoring, and in fact I've been asked to come in less often this time around than the last time (instead of appts every 2 weeks for most of 3rd tri, my practice is apparently now doing them every 3 weeks). The only change this time was that I was able to get the materni21 test done due to my age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647497 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:49:40 +0000 meadow 2647497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...twin pregnancy. Saw my OB &amp; a perinatalologist. I had extra ultrasounds to monitor growth &amp; fluid levels. I had low PAPP-A.......shortened cervix (progesterone supplements for that) and in the final week developed pre-e. The last week I was pregnant I had a doctor appointment every day! Hah. Oh and we did an echo cardiogram around 28ish weeks because ivf babies are at risk for heart issues.</p> <p>Babies born healthy! So to me the extra monitoring was extra opportunities to see and hear them!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647485 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:42:24 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2647485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't until my due date when I went into labor and ended up with preeclampsia and hellp syndrome! Quite a surprise. Next time illl be on aspirin and need an extra growth ultrasound and probably will be considered high risk but hopefully everything will be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647469 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:30:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2647469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes; GD both times. And this time technically low PAPP-A but I haven't had any of the related symptoms/issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647468 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:29:54 +0000 twodoghouse 2647468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because I was pregnant with twins. Technically my MFM also considered me high risk because it was an IVF pregnancy. I had extra monitoring appointments with MFM to check the kids' growth as well as monitor my cervix, since cervical shortening can be an issue in twin pregnancies. I also had an US at every appt with a my regular OB to see their heart beats and position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647461 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:21:45 +0000 MelisMc 2647461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because with my first and this one I am over 35 and have gestational diabetes. Plus, I just had half my pancreas removed this summer and we're still not sure how well it's working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647459 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:20:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2647459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1, I was high risk because I had gestational diabetes. They wanted to induce me the day after LO was due, but I went into labor 2 nights before he was due. I was glad he came on his own even though it was a scary birth. Prior to him coming, I had twice weekly non-stress tests to ensure that he was still doing ok beginning at 36 weeks. During one of them, they were worried about his fluid, so I got an extra ultrasound.</p> <p>For LO2, I was high risk for a few different reasons. I was AMA, and I had 4 miscarriages by that point. I had a uterine surgery to clear scar tissue, so I was at risk for placenta accreta. Because I went through a fertility specialist, I was monitored by her for the first 10 weeks with a weekly ultrasound once I got pregnant because of my repeat pregnancy loss. Once I was turned over to my OB, I had an ultrasound on a monthly basis due to the risk of placenta accreta. Overall, it was a lot more ultrasounds and was nice to see him more often. I had a scheduled C-section with him, and it was far calmer than my emergency C-section with LO1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647456 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:19:21 +0000 Ms. RV 2647456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was for a few weeks due to ventriculomegaly, but by early third tri the ventricles were measuring normally. Even though I was dismissed from MFM I still felt high risk the entire time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647449 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:09:42 +0000 Ajsmommy 2647449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my pregnancies were/are high risk. Age and blood pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647441 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:58:17 +0000 LulaBee 2647441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my last pregnancy was high risk because of a clotting disorder (which had unknowingly caused a miscarriage and a birth loss/stillbirth), and I was also over 35. The entire pregnancy was very stressful, I had high anxiety. I saw my regular OB or MFM every week. Blood thinner shots and baby aspirin daily. And an early scheduled C-section. Luckily baby was perfect, but I'm glad I won't ever have to go through all of that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647439 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:54:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2647439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with my second two because my first was LGA. I just got extra growth scans. DD3 ended up in NICU care because she was so large.<br /> I had a few extra scans with DD3 because of a short interval between pregnancies. They were worried I'd rupture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-high-risk-pregnancy-2#post-2647434 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:47:39 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2647434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They never said those words to me... But with dd I had a 2 vessel cord and had to have an echo done on her while pregnnt(all was fine) and growth monitoring ultrasounds every 4 weeks. I think I had the potential to go high risk, but everything stayed ok? </p>
