22 Weeks!

I am so thrilled to be 22 weeks pregnant!! Just a few weeks ago I didn't know if we'd make it this far. We only have two weeks to go to viability! 🙏🙏 

Right now I don't have any cravings, but my nausea is completely gone, so my appetite is back. I literally gained three pounds last week... I definitely need to slow it down on the cookies. We've been home for the shutdown since March 13th, so having 24/7 access to my cookies and sweets has definitely NOT been helping my healthy pregnancy goals. 

My subchorionic hemorrhage seems to have slowed down recently. I'm not cramping or as uncomfortable as I was a few weeks ago. I definitely feel like the daily magnesium helps, if I don't drink my natural calm in the morning I am sore by 1:00 or 2:00. 

Samuel is still a very active baby! There are times that he kicks me so hard that it tickles and I laugh out loud. I tend to wake up every morning at about 2:30 to go to the bathroom, and some mornings he is so active, bouncing about that I can't get back to sleep until about 4:00. My nickname for him should be JB, because he is my little jumping bean!!

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.  Meds and supplements to prevent a first time loss *Vitamin D due to my deficiency and like between low D and miscarriage * NO caffeine due to limited studies that show some people with caffeine sensitivity are prone to unexplained loss  *Magnesium, by drinking Natural Calm, every morning - recommended by Dr. Sheri Hamersley  *Progesterone 200 mg orally. I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg.  *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added  *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom. I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...

Celebrating 32 Weeks... with a DVT!!

Well this week has been ... Interesting. On Monday I noticed my arm hurt at my previous IV site. It was sore and also intensely painful right at the IV site. So I just waited it out and observed... Overnight the pain woke me up twice! In the morning I knew I had to be seen. I went to urgent care. They ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed too blood clots--one in my brachial vein and one in my subclavian vein (a DVT!).  They had me go to the ER. So I went to Frederick. They sent me home with increased dosages of Lovenox, 80 mg twice a day.  Starting the next day I had groin pain. And by Thursday I was dizzy. Soooo back to urgent care I went. They did an ultrasound and a CT scan and blood test. I'm anemic, but nothing was wrong. Whew! All I needed to do was 20 minutes on the monitor with baby before I left. Well... I started having contractions. They're my usual evening contractions but they alarmed the midwife enough that she wanted to keep me and give me more IV fluids....
