Question

I’m high risk because of a seizure disorder that’s been getting worse :(

Answer

I’m also high risk because I have a Unicornuate Uterus. I essentially have only half of a uterus, so baby may run out of room early. 
I’ve been having more frequent growth scans and cervical length checks throughout. Preterm labor is highly likely, as is a c-section since he’s breech and probably doesn’t have enough room left to flip. The average gestation with this condition is 36 weeks. 
I also have a thyroid autoimmune disorder which is managed by medication.  
They only know about all this because we had 3 miscarriages before this pregnancy. 
Currently 26 weeks and so happy to have made it this far!

Answer

Me🙄 
4 Miscarriages 
Fast heart rate
Cervical cancer (now removed)
Gestational diabetes 
& Geriatric pregnancy since I am 42
I am soooo tired of so many doctors appointments! Like I'm pregnant people, not dying! Still, I go to make sure baby boy is ok. Having an ultrasound every 2 weeks doesn't hurt either🤷‍♀️

Answer

Haven’t been declared a high risk but I am somewhat risky. 
Broke my back 4 years ago, and have been on muscle relaxers since for excessive swelling that worsens the sciatica in my legs. The pregnancy itself has been a painful adjustment to my body because my lumbar was flattened when I broke it, so I no longer have my “lady curve” in the small of my back, it’s as straight as a board. Because of this, the pregnancy puts a lot of strain on some of my already damaged discs (I have 3 herniated and 5 bulging as of now, the herniated are near my L2). I also have arthritis in my hands, feet, knees, hip, and spine. 
I work full time standing on my feet for 40-56 hours a week, and have a hell of a time doing it. Compression socks and gloves, pregnancy support belt, and flexeril are the only thing that have got me this far. I also utilize salt baths and heating pads. I have had a few instances where I was unable to get out of bed because of excessive work done the day previous, and was forced to the ER for a cortisone shot in my butt 😐 not a good time, but it definitely helped. I can’t stand not working, nor can I afford not to, which just makes it that much harder. I stretch and do what I can just hoping I don’t fall apart before my baby comes on Mother’s Day.

Answer

I’m high risk due to a rare genetic heart condition

Answer

You shouldn’t be high risk for having epilepsy alone - I have epilepsy and I’m not high risk. Are you on anti-seizure medications still?

Answer

Me! I have lupus which automatically makes me high risk. I also have POTS so have to be monitored for that (cardiac). And my bipolar medication puts baby at risk for IUGR so I get growth scans monthly. I go every 2 weeks, but honestly I had twins before this one and went weekly so this isn’t that bad 😂 I also have hyperemesis this time and get to see home health every 4 days. Whoop.

Answer

I’m high risk! I have chronically hypertension and was diagnosed 7yrs ago or so. Been medicated ever since. This is baby #3 and I wasn’t considered high risk with my youngest even though I had high BP with him too. Luckily I never got preeclampsia but they are watching me like a hawk this time around! I’ll be delivering at 38 weeks.
