Home! And an emotional week...

Mobile users: Home! And an emotional week...

After 11 days in the hospital, I'm finally HOME! Long story short, I've been having contractions and PTL since my gallbladder surgery (end of October) with several complications related to both. On Thanksgiving, I ended up being admitted to the hospital again and they determined I had another kidney infection, which they believe was causing the PTL. Turns out my ureter was swollen and causing my kidney to not drain properly, in turn, causing the infections. They placed a kidney ureteric) stent, so hopefully this will fix the problem!

So after 11 days in the hospital, I finally got to come home last night, still on total bed rest, but at least I'm at home! It had been terribly hard being away from DD and this week is not going to get better (emotion-wise). My due date with DD was a year ago today and she will turn 1 on Thursday! Pregnancy hormone and baby-turning-one hormones don't mix! And to top it off, our A/S is on Thursday. I hate that it has to be on DD's birthday, but we had to work the schedule with both my OB and MFM, so we didn't have a choice.

The point of this post: if you have any extra T&Ps you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate it. Between 2 surgeries, a placental abruption, and PTL, I'm pretty much terrified for our A/S. It has been one thing after another with this pregnancy, so we could really stand to get some good news.

Good luck to all the other ladies with ultrasounds this week!

I'm glad they found (and fixed) the cause for your PTL!  T&P for a good scan.  Hang in there!  And Happy Birthday to your DD!

Wow! What a journey so far! You got my T&Ps for the a/s and for your entire pregnancy that it "settles down" so to speak.

I'm so sorry to hear all that you've been through, hopefully things will settle down for the better!  FWIW, I had a uretal stent placed in mid-October due to a kidney stone that they could not remove from my kidney.  How are you doing recovering from that/adjusting to the stent?  I've been looking for someone to commiserate with (though I don't wish that bad luck on anyone)!!

I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through it too! Although I know what you mean about having someone to commiserate with! It's not been too bad, relatively speaking, but I was so miserable prior to the stent that anything was going to be an improvement. The most difficult thing right now is that I constantly to have the sensation that I have to pee, even when I don't. Prior to the stent, and ever since my c/s, I'd actually had the opposite problem never getting the sensation that I needed to go. But right now, if it'll keep LO healthy and inside, then I'll take it! How is yours? Hope it's helped!
