Any Other High Riskers So Far?

[AnotherMiracle?]

I am. This is my 6th PG, but I only have 2LC. I had a MC in Jan '99, Dec '99 {with twins-Heterotpoic PG}, then I had my oldest in Oct '00, my current youngest in Dec '03 and a MC in June '04.

I have 2 uteri. Liam was delievered at 34 weeks, I had GD, Pre E and then severe PPH after his delievery. Mikey has several birth defects, I had SPROM with him at less than 21 weeks-hospitalized for 12 LOOOONG weeks, induced at 38 weeks, followed with minor PPH.

Phew, yeah, that is enough. I really really want this to be a "regular" uneventful PG, with no complications. We'll see. So far though, I am not sure what to think. I have major back pain & cramping. I had a little bleeding throughout the day yesterday.

Technically AF is/was not due until Jan 9th, but I tested Jan 3rd {about 9DPO}& got a faint +! I've tested everyday since then, both in the mornings and sometimes evenings too & have gotten 2 lines each time! today I am about 12DPO.

Thanks for listening!

Sorry for your losses!

I am not "high risk" but I lost a lot of blood the first time, and then had a PPH the second resulting in passing out and ultimately surgical intervention to get the retained bits of placenta out (which had gone on to cause infection). It was no fun, and I too am really hoping for a normal birth.

I did have pre-e with my first and was induced at 38 weeks. No pre-e the second.

I am very grateful to not have any experience with pregnancy loss.

Hi, I'm not sure if I am preggers or not. AF is late...but I am taking a wait and see atittude. Anyways, I have 4 kids, the first pregnancy was uneventful, however the 2nd I went into labor 5 times before delivering her at 36wks. The third pregnancy I went into labor at 28wks and was on best rest and meds and still had to have my labor stopped several times until he was born at 38wks. The 4th pregnancy I was unusally exhaused, sick all the time, it started out as twins and then one disappeared so it was "The Vanishing Twin" Syndrome. Preterm labor again, bed rest etc. I was huge too, I looked like I was due any day when I was just 4mths preggers. My son was born with lots of medical issues and lots of surgeries later he has a trach and feeding tube, but does well. We hope to get his trach out this Spring and it will take longer for the feeding tube as we constantly work on eating by mouth. So to say the least, I really don't want to be preggers, but if I am, then I will be happy with it. I feel your pain girl!!! Giving lots of hugs and wishing you luck for an uneventful pregnancy and a healthy baby!!!

I've had three miscarriages, and I have a 19 month old son...with his pregnancy I ended up on a month of bedrest because of PIH/Preeclampsia...I'm praying against both (miscarriage and PIH/Preeclampsia) really hard!!!

My HPT was positive last week so I am officially due in Sept. (I think it is 09/15) Good Luck to all the high riskers out there. I have an u/s next week so as long as I see a beating heart I will feel a ton better!

I was considered high risk for my last pregnancy because I'd just recovered from a stroke (not pregnancy related... a fluke) That birth was uneventful; it remains to be seen if they will consider me high risk this time. I hope not.
