Hi my name is gabrielle and i joined this forum in August. I have no idea how long it will take us to ttc so i decieded to start a journal, as i saw that its nice to hear about everyone else.
So where do i start, ok i have two beautiful children. Owen who is 3years old, and gavin who is 7 months. I have been married to a wonderful, hardworking man for three years! My highschool sweetheart.
I have to admit i feel selfish for being on here because i have children and i see how so many of you wonderful ladies would love to have just one and heres me at 21 wanting more...
I hope and pray that you all get the chance to become a mommy and shared this amazing feeling that i have.
We just start ttc in august because we just want a big family and we are hoping for our little girl!
I'm sure so many of you are thinking why would you want to have more with two little ones at home and also being so young.
Well i have to tell you that i have terrible pregnancies and as i get older it would be harder for my body to deal with them. I also only have one ovary because they removed my left one after a ovarian cyst that grew over it.
With my first baby i had to be put on bedrest at 25 weeks for having ptl and being dialated to 2cm. I also had many kindey stones and infections, as well as had my appendics removed with him( very scary). I ended up making it to 36 weeks and was induced because of his heart rate droping. I delievered him on August 2, 2005 and he was in the nicu for a week due to respirtory distress. I then had two blood clots in my ovarian veins so was on a heparin drip for two weeks....talk about postpartum depression.
A year later we wanted to try for another baby and we couldnt really get pregnant, so bought opks and bd everyday and got pregnant right away!
With this baby i ended up having hyperemesis and being put on bedrest with a picc line to feed me and give my medicatioins. I got over the sickness at about 14 weeks and was off bedrest. I got home from work one day and i was bleeding really bad, i was so scared the baby was gone. I ended up having placenta previa and back to bed i went....I went into ptl at 27 weeks but was stopped with mag and was bedrided in the hospital. This was so hard to have my little guy home and me be stuck in the hospital. I was watch very closely with ultrasound every week. i ended up getting chf and kindey stones so was put on morphine drip and was so scared the baby would have withdrawls. WEll at 33 weeks they were doing their ultrasound and noticed that i had no amminotic fluid left and the baby wasnt moving much...they thought he had not made it. I was given an emergency c section and delievered a 4lb little boy who wasnt breathing at all. came out completely blue....i honestly didnt think he was going to make it. They started baging him and he was intubated and was put on a venitlater. He was transported down to our childrens hospital and i was stuck at mine!! Gosh i couldnt even hold or see my little sick baby. I prayed so much for him and my hubby pretty much lived down there untill i got out of the hospital. \
Make this short he got out of the NICU after about 3 weeks and he is doing great!!!
Sorry this is so long but wanted to explain pregnancies in detail.
So here we are trying to get pregnant and hoping and praying that things may be different! My doctor really wants us to wait, but we cant and we truly believe that if God believes i can make it through another one than he will give us a beautiful bump, and if not than I'm so thankful i have two wonderful boys!
TTC cycle two hoping it doesnt take much!
ITs great to have all you wonderful ladies to talk and realate to and i wish every single one of you the best of luck! You will get your miracles
I can understand how much you want to try again, especially as you have your children at the end of it and all the joy they bring. I hope you get what you want, and I hope you don't end up on bedrest again in the hospital and having to leave 2 kiddies at home!
