I've got 2 prenatal pills to take, Zoloft, levothyrx, iron, n Zantac. I think it's time for a pill box reminder. I'm so scatter brained anymore. I keep forgetting what bills need to/have already been paid this month. And the girls decided to play in poop earlier. Oh that was fun to clean... Not! I don't get why my girls are so fascinated by their fecal matter like that I sure hope Aaron skips that kind of curiosity. Really hope you ladies are having a better start to the week than I am lol

because i get confused too, every morning i use an old pill bottle and i put all of my vitamins for the day in it. I carry it around with me all day and take my vitamins spaced out during the day. That way when the bottle is empty i know i took everything for the day, no confusion.

on that topic i'm curious what everyone takes?

i take a prenatal/omega complex (2 pills)
vit E
vit C
vit D
a prental omega (non -fish)
Folgard (prescription)
-----
up until last week i was also taking
a baby asprin daily
and B6

phew. it's a lot to choke down i can't lie

I actually take just the prenatal and vitamin d pills so I just need to take two daily and can't even get that right sometimes. I have a weekly pill box with removable cases so sometimes if I take one of the cases with me, and forget about it, it gets misplaced and then I don't utilize the darn thing effectively. Right now i'm missing friday and tuesday's boxes.. lol

So hubs just gave me a regular pillbox but I have to just remember to keep it with me regularly and not be lazy about it which I sometimes do. I know, i'm horrible.

so i have been MIA... I have been in and out of the hospital. I cant seem to shake these migraines and they are making my BP go everywhere. on friday it was anywhere from 90/55-152/93... WTF??? it makes me so sick, and now my urine has trace protein in it. If you pray, please pray that little David and I dont get preE.... omg i dont need more stress. (not to mention i look like a damn pin cushion because they put IV's in the weirdest places at my hospital) Congrats to everyone who found out what their LO's are!!! and welcome new mama's!!

Aww! I am definitely praying for you and baby David. Keep taking deep breaths and try to relax as much as you can! I think last time when I had a really bad Migraine and wanted to throw up I read somewhere about putting a cold towel on your head and that actually ended up helping me out a bit, along with using a higher pillow. But definitely try to rest as much as possible. Put on some baby lullaby music or something. Sending positive energy your way!

thank you   im so glad that i have you ladies... esp since i lost my mom, i dont want to ask MIL or stepmom questions bc it doesnt seem fair i cant ask my mom, so i come here for advice. I know i dont know you ladies really but I love you guys you have no idea  

Ok just left my level two u/s. Baby is definitely a boy. I'm terrified. My first child was a boy, Ryan. Ryan was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy and died at 7 months old. I'm completely scared that this new boy is going to remind me too much of him and i'm going to get depressed again. Losing Ryan was the hardest thing in my life and I just have a feeling that all those emotions are going to flood back. Even though Ryan had a different father, i'm still scared that something is going to go wrong.

dont stress... im sure all will be fine momma   keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. im so sorry for you loss.

Aww rip LO. I'm sorry but I think ur feelings and fears are normal considering what u went through. I bet it's gonna be tough but try to separate the two boys in ur mind. Not same but similar ish example- lost my FIL 2 months before dd2 was born. She looked/s just like him. Saw baby's u/s pic and he too looks like FIL and my heart stopped. Dd2 has fils attitude and temper, mannerisms, etc. I get sad a lot as does hubby but I try to look at it as a gift. Sounds creepy n wrong but its like having a reminder of FIL around. And I welcome it. Of all the ppl in his family my girl n ds will look like him. it's like having a part of him that no one else does. That has helped me and hubby w our grief. I can only imagine how scared u must be but u said he had a diff dad so if its genetic the chances drop a lot. Ryan was/is ur angel he'll always be n now u have another lil boy... I'm not saying replace Ryan no way, but maybe ur baby will help bring u some peace? I'm really really bad at this but I don't mean any disrespect. I just want u to know its ok to be scared just as its ok to be excited too. I really hope ur baby can help u find a way to heal. IMO it just might be the thing u needed most. My stepdad lost his son at 11 n his other son had a lil boy who looks just like his uncle. That baby has kinda given my dad a 2nd chance n really helped him deal w his sons passing. before that baby was born my dad really withdrew so much my parents split. He drank, didn't care bout anyone or anything. He was downright miserable n had so much guilt. He's a new person now. He has purpose n stopped drinking. He is basically living for his grandson when all he wanted was to join his son. I really am truly sorry for your loss. That's something no parent should ever have to go through.

i am so sorry this is happening to you. i suffered horrible migraines throughout my first trimester. now i only get one maybe once every 2 weeks and i just take painkillers until it subsides. what have they been giving you for relief in the hospital??

i'm so sorry mama. that must have been really rough.
is this something they can do genetic testing for to ease your mind?

nothing at first. but finally on friday they did a morphine drip in my IV and omg that helped soo much... but before i let them do it i threw a huge fit and they had a high risk doc come talk to me... i felt kinda dumb knowing it would help but i was scared to get morphine being prego. what do you take for your migraines?

what did the high risk doctor tell u about the morphine?
i take percocet now when i get them.
it was a choice i had to make....lesser of all evils.

Thanks ladies. I could have an amnio or have the baby tested after it's born. I'll most likely wait until he's born though.
