Fibroids and C-SectionHi Melissa... I too experienced a very similar situation about 5 years ago. Except, I'd never had any fibroids until I was pregnant, and during the course of the pregnancy I had 13 pop up. The largest fibroid was 10+ cm and it was blocking the exit. I was put on total bed rest around 30-32 weeks... but started going into labor at week 35. They had to do an emergency classic (vertical) c-section, and though my daughter was slow to respond initially... we both went home after 3 days. It is scary... but your doctor should be monitoring you pretty closely as your near term. Today I have a beautiful, intelligent, tall for her age (4' tall), four year old daughter. Because of the type of c-section and the myomectomy I had two years ago to remove the fibroids, should I decide to become pregnant again, I will need a c-section and odds are high that the fibroids will come back. But it was all worth it. Cherita to LIZ Hoping-God's PrayerI just wanted to say hello to you Liz and tell you that my auntie and I were reading the forum and came across your message. My auntie said "Ha!!, I wish I had that problem about 30 years ago!". OK, what she meant was that she had her tubes tied after having a few children, thought she was through with her child-bearing days. Then....by absolute surprise, she had two more girls, one right after the other. They were not expected, but loved and she was greatful. So, hold on there, it's not the end!!! Kaaxyal.ach Gestational diabetesI am 33 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. i have excess amniotic fluid around my baby and for the last 3 wks i've been so afraid instead of excited for my baby coming. i also just don't understand the diet that i am on because my blood sugar test still is high. and i don't know what right things to eat. my weight is going up and down and i am just so afraid.i don't know what to do.... Juanita Spivey twinsi went into labour at 35 weeks. that was ok. when my baby was born the docters took my baby boy n girl away for 2 hours. i didnt know what was happening so i asked the docters and they brought my babies back.i looked at them and started crying. they were attached at the head but my little girl wasn't fully developed. my baby boy bill looked happy and i thought about getting the other one taken off but i didnt. Bill is now 3 years old and as happy as ever. he is beautiful. i love him so much gemma Preeclampsia and healthy babyI was about 30 weeks pregnant with my 1st child when during a routine Dr's visit, my blood pressure was suddenly in the 140s over 90s range- it had always been low to normal before...the Dr began monitoring me regularly and my BP kept rising until it reached 170 over 110- I began going for non-stress tests twice a week and seeing my Dr once a week- the blood pressure was the only real symptom of preeclampsia I had at this point... In my 34th week- my water suddenly broke- my Dr ended up having to deliver my baby via C-section while I was attached to a magnesium drip- she was fine except for being a bit small- she was 3 lbs. 15 oz..and now doing extremely well... About a week after I had my daughter, my blood pressure returned to normal Suzanne Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 | ||||||||||||||||
