i had baby fever a lot, but i never felt really ready to have another. heck i still dont feel ready at all. if it would just go after my will we would have waited another few years.
i mean, i dont regret it at all and we were TTC, but mostly because DH convinced me. lol
i still have my doubts, but i am sure it will work out just fine  

Hey ladies! I just wanted to let you know that I had my son on Friday! AJ was born via C-Section at 5:05 pm. My water broke Friday morning, but AJ had turned sunny side up and we couldn't get him past my pelvic bone and his heartrate kept dropping, so we had to do a csection, but he is here and healthy! He was 8 lbs and 21 1/4" long. We are home now and doing well!

Sara, I just saw your BFP! I was going to post in the thread, but I figured maybe I should keep it in this one...


First of all - Congrats!!!!
Are you guys happy/excited?
I was following your blog and realized you deleted your posts, did they figure things out medicalwise for you?Are you feeling better?

Yes pretty crazy huh? Ya I went up and had all the testing and stuff. Looooong story short they said it is the way my body is and that I had inflamation from the inside that made it look like my ejection fraction was higher then it is? So now they say I'm at my baseline which is lower but okay for me. My heart works pretty good overall. However I am on some meds that I shouldn't be for pregnancy. I need to call the Dr on mon morning to see what I need to do to get off them. We were not planning this. We actually had talked about getting my tubes tied. It happend. I am excited, shocked, and scared all at the same time.

so things are not nearly as bad as they thought?

Quoting Fusselinchen:" so things are not nearly as bad as they thought?"

No. My ejection fraction is lower then yours and a lot of peoples but it's the way it is for me. I also carry cardiac "markers" on my blood. However my heart is working. They think I was inflamed from the inside that made my ejection fraction look higher then it really was and then over time when the inflammation went down the ejection fraction looked like it was dropping and that it was going lower and lower. Really though they think I was returning to my baseline which was lower anyway. It's confusing. Bottom line is that they stressed my heart on purpose and my heart did really well. My heart works for me. Later on in life it will be an issue more then likely so I have to make sure I exercise, take certain meds and stuff. As for now she said my heart is ok and she thinks it's alright now. It's something we will always have to keep an eye on. They don't know what caused me to be inflamed in the first place. They tested me for lupus (my brother has it) and she said it was negative but she felt like it still could be autoimmune maybe. As for right now I am good lol. No inflammation. I feel good   I'm going to make a lot of phone calls in the morning and see what I need to do with everything.
