Thanks ladies. It totally stinks to hear it from someone else. Total fail moment. Still going to see our local OB and probably run the pathology report past our old MFM since I don't speak pathology fluently.
Samantha- Good luck!
Let's continue to send good wishes to Leigh who got admitted and her first round of steroids. It's looking like lil' Easton will be joining us earlier rather than later. Keep crossables crossed for at least another few days!

Samantha- Glad it went well! Your good appointments are well deserved. Hope to hear that he aces next week's u/s.
I'm amending crossing crossables for a few more days... I'll take it.. but I'm hoping for a week for you Leigh!
It's really hard to type with all crossables crossed... just sayin.

Sam- I hope your appointment goes well. Pleas update us right after.
Lauren- I am sorry. I know how hearing that you shouldn't have any more hurts. Even if you have decided it, it still hurts. It took a long time for my BP to go down but I would say it is on avg a bit higher than before Abigail, although it is still good. My thoughts are with you.
Leigh- How did the 24 hour come out?
Take care,
Ellen

Leigh, good thoughts/prayers coming your way. I’ve been thinking about you.
Sam, glad to hear you had a good appointment. Here’s to many more and hope the growth scan next week is right on target!
Lauren, I hope your other drs can clearly explain the placenta issue and what it means for you.
For me it was therapeutic to read about placenta issues. My drs were stunned James was correct size for gestation, as placenta path report showed only 5% functional tissue. 95% of it was non-functional connective tissue!!! Wow! The drs couldn’t understand how he was correct size for gestation… I say nature has a way of compensating, so even something on the path report that looks bad can still manage to function okay.
I like biology & spent time reading placenta path texts and literature (nerdy yes, but therapeutic). If you want to give a try looking anything up yourself, a good source is: Path. of Human Placenta, Benirschke & Kauffman, 4th ed. 2000.
Just called the MFM where I will have my 1st tri scan, and 2nd tri detailed u/s. Was stressing not knowing how these appointments would run (not the same crappy MFM office that saw me last time). The new office will have an MD see me along with the u/s tech. Yay! At the old MFM the dr never came in to see me, it was only the u/s tech, and it was those two scans that might have been able to detect the placenta defect if it ever could have been... The what-ifs of wondering if that dr had only come in to exam me too... So relieved new MFM will have both tech & dr exam.
I'm trying to decide if I should write/send a literature article to the new MFM. I don't want to seem too pushy, but at the same time I want them to be so so so so careful in their exam.

Natalie- That is amazing! And what a testament to how tough your lil' James was. Thank you for the resource, I'm gaining understanding of what our report means, but now missing the context. I'm looking forward to getting our local OBs eyes on it in a few weeks. So glad you've found a better doctor's office, where you will be able to see the MFM in person at each appointment. I know techs can't officially finalize an u/s report, so I'm sure a doctor looked over each u/s to sign off on it.. but you're right to have wanted their actual eyes on it. There's always so many what ifs... I think MFMs are really weird.. I mean, I think all doctors are and I completely heart my doctors... but there is still something different about someone who wants to work 24/7 and specialize in something.... My husband works with surgeons and says the same.. they are just a different kind of people, especially when it comes to their work and even the perception of being questioned. I wouldn't send a letter.. but I would keep the research in your back pocket as your ace in the hole. So that when you're talking maybe slip in, "Oh yeah that reminds me of something I read..." I don't care what folks say about it not mattering if the office and doctor "likes" you... I think it does, and I always brought food around holidays. That way when I was being pushy later on, they knew I was the one that kept their sweet tooth satisfied.

Took a trip yo the er at 3am. After over 12 hours of not feeling little man move, BP and all looked good and so did Jaxson. The on call on for the hospital did s quick u/s and all looked good. I however feel there wasn't a lot of fluid and was a little concerned. Dr said it looked okay but ill be glad to have my growth scan on Monday and learn the actual numbers and hope I am wrong. Jaxson has been much more active tonight and that eases my mind a little. Heading to bed meeting Jadon's teacher in the morning!!!

Glad lil' man was alright. I know Monday can't come soon enough for ya.
Have you tried the OJ left side trick? When I would get a lil' worried I would sugar myself up and lie down quietly. It was very reassuring.

Sam -- glad to hear everything checked out well with Jaxon. I agree with Lauren -- sounds like he's giving mama some heartburn very early ... and might be a handful later on! Keep us posted on your monday scan.

Sam, I'm up with you. These early weeks for me mean sooo tired all the time. Only thing I could do after work yesterday was loung on the bed/rest all evening (big Fri. night party animal, ha!) Then fell asleep ~9:15pm. Of course I have to pee all the time, so woke at 2:30am for that & not able to get back to sleep. House was hot, turned down AC. Radio clock got static-ie, unplugged the thing. Old dog coughed for a while, & now hubby is snoring. I might as well get up for Sat. at this point. Yawn.
Hope memories of holding your daughter are calming, & hope you got back to sleep unlike me.

Yeah I can't figure out the evolutionary need of sleeplessness and pregnancy. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose but being totally annoying!

Starting to have Trojan le breathing, hopefully that's a good thing meaning Jaxson is getting so big. He was 3lbs 2oz Monday and we have another scan this coming Monday! Praying for good news!
