225 vitamins, 920 medication pills, 19 ultrasounds, 15 blood tests, 3 ER visits, 12 ECG's, 5 doctor appointments and 21 consultant appointments and counting. Thanks for this post! It can be isolating sometimes thinking you're going through a difficult time alone. Good luck with everything, I hope it all turns out just fine. Hang in there!
Shout out to the moms who...
176 prenatals taken
352 pills taken
Approximately 164 shots
16 doctors visits and 1 ER Visit
But it's all for her.
456 more pills
76 more prenatals
152 more shots
7-9 more doctors appointments
And she will finally be here. 🤰👶
I've gained approximately 17lbs
I fit only two pairs of my pre pregnancy tights, 3 over sized tshirts, and 3 skirts(as well as the maternity I bought)
I've developed 6-7 inches wide of stretch marks
And I have a bunch of tiny bumps on my face.
But that doesnt matter because I'll have her.
It's not much, just fish oil, baby aspirin, folic acid, prenatal, and lovenox.(staying as low as possible on meds) Then I'll take over on a new blood thinner in the end. I've had kidney failure, heart problems, and blood clots. I have antiphospholipid syndrome but I never knew being a mother in the making meant I'd be so ready to take on that load of pills and shots. I'd even say I'd do more. Shout out to the ladies that have to do shots every day for their baby's for IVF or Diabetes, whatever you got to do! Shout out to the ladies who are sick constantly still! Shout out to the struggle! We got this mommies it's beautiful what we are doing!

Oh yea. I have had 2 24 hour urine, over 35 tubes of blood taken, and have given urine samples 15 approximately.
Thank you for this, I was literally saying this yesterday, I never thought trying to have a baby and bring it to term would be this hard! I guess not everyone has a walk in the park.

Thank you and same to you! God bless 😊

No your not soft girl. Your just realistic, at the end I don’t care about showing or gaining I just want this baby! Iv had 2 ectopics & 2 miscarriages and when I found out I was pregnant again with a home test, I went to the ER not too many days after cause I felt pulsating on my right side which I already knew was my bad side and the ectopics would always happen there, and they swore I had an ectopic again, said I was bleeding internally, scheduled me emergency surgery, they removed my right tube only to tell me two days later that I was still pregnant and that it was a cyst! So I’m so very thankful to god that he is giving me this little miracle after all, because just the day before them tell me, I was grieving the loss of my tube and baby, like again it happened I lost my baby and my tube, and I was wrong. So I am super grateful and all the other little things do not matter, I don’t care if I get poked a million times to check my levels or if they probe me to check the baby. I’m all for it as long as this little joy makes it! God bless you
