Hi Karma,
Thank you. It's Thursday a.m. now & I had blood tests done and have to collect my pee for 24 hours. I have never done this for a doc and am not really sure what they're looking for. Anyone out there have this done, too?I feel a little clearer this morning. Part of it has to be that I took a full Ambien at 10pm when I returned from work and was out cold on the couch around 10:45pm My poor hubby didn't have the heart to wake me to head me toward our bedroom because he knows how little sleep I've been getting lately. Bottom line, I feel pretty good today.
My 2 difficult pregnancies... First one: hypertension, bed rest, breach, induced & w/forceps...I've blocked it all. The 2nd, non-stop vomiting, genetics counseling (possible Down's), amnio, gestational diabetes, induced...Basically everything (almost) that could go wrong, did. Except of course your experience tops mine by far. I am so sorry for what has happened to you. It's a devastating thing. This happened to 2 friends of mine, except they carried full term and it wasn't until the last days that it was discovered something was terribly wrong. Both had to deliver their babies anyway. It was AWEFUL. I'll pray for you, and hopefully you now have more children? Or no?
Got to run but I'll check back later.

> GOOD FOR YOU PODWOMAN!!! Happy to hear about you getting rid of some of those meds. Is this the first crack in the Pod??? LOL!!! When you go tomorrow, GET THE TOPOMAX!! I read the article that Jaynee recommended and it was pretty interesting. I didn't realize that it helped with binge eating. Anyhooo-you asked about difficult pregnanices, well I don't know what you call "difficult", but I had 2 stillborn children. The difficulty about these pregnancies was that my water broke very early (23 & 26 wks) in both. In neither case were they ever fully able to explain why my water broke. I was put on bedrest in hopes that I wouldn't go into labor too soon but I did. Don't know if this helps but if it relates, please let me know.
