Thanks for thinking of me, Ileana. I was stressed over that test...Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed for the Level 2 Ultrasound I'm having Monday...Hopefully the blood flow, amnio fluid, etc. and of course, the baby itself will be just fine. BTW, I was truly touched by your husband's sentiment in the Ask the Experienced forum. I am thinking of you both in what I am sure is a very difficult anniversary for you. HUGS to you both!!!

Oh, Lauren,

I'm so happy your AFP came back good. I've been thinking about you since you posted the question! Way to go!

I'm very happy to share that I had a great OB visit yesterday! I had been a little worried because at my nutrionist 10 days ago, She discovered I had gained 7lbs in 1 month (not related to overeating), and my pressures were jumping around after coming off my atenolol. My OB immediately called in an Rx for Aldomet. Yesterday, I was 3 lbs. LESS (so my doc seemed to agree I had been swelling -- a total wt. gain of 4 lbs is appropriate), my pressure was 120/70, no protein and good results on the AFP test! After this month, I will be seeing my OB every 2 weeks, since we're approaching the PE watch -and -see phase. I just hope the aldomet keeps working, since it didn't work too great with baby #1...
