Re: Question for C-section moms
I had steri strips and dissolvable stitches. I went back to my peri several times after delivery due to bp issues and about two weeks ago they did an insicion check and found I had a yeast infection at the site due to its location under my tummy. My doctor cleaned it and instructed me how to clean i...

Re: I had Faith-PE again??? induction scare

(my gut tells me, despite what my doctors will say.) :) Yes unfortunately I do have chronic HTN....my bps never went back to normal without meds after I had PE the first time. I am hoping that once I finally HEAL I will start e...

Question for C-section moms
Although Faith was my third girl she was my first c-section baby. :) How did your insicions heal? I'm 4 weeks postpartum and am still weeping and oozing a little at my insicision site. Unfortunately my insicion is a bikini cut and is located right under my tummy, so there is skin-to skin contact and...

Re: Looking for advice with 3rd Pregnancy
It sounds like you are in good hands. Unfortunately with no cure or prevention you are doing the best thing by seeing a competent and proactcive peri.
They will keep a close eye on you and will do everything possible to keep you and your baby safe for as long as possible.

Re: Still Swollen and high blood pressure at 9 days postpart
Hello There. I am 4 weeks post partum right now and my bps finally came under control around 2.5 weeks after being put on two different bp meds. I was very swollen when I went home from the hospital and ended up back in the ER that night with sky high bps swelling and visual disturbances. I have had...

Re: I had Faith-PE again??? induction scare
Blythe, thanks so much. Yes I will be seeing them for my 6 week checkup. I actually go back on Tuesday to see them because I am having issues with my insicion healing properly. (On top of everything else. :) ) I will ask them that question, and I am interested to see what their answer will be. I had...

I had Faith-PE again??? induction scare
Hello Ladies. I will try to make this short. On June 11th I started getting contractions. I headed into L&D at 3am and was triaged. A resident was originally going to send me home (I live an hour from the hospital) but a doctor from my Peri stepped in and decided to keep me and induce me given my hi...

Re: Has anyone here ever gone into labor naturally ?

This morning I woke up at 5am with painful contractions that were coming about every two minutes and lasting about a minute each. Then after ...

Re: contractions an hour appart with high bp at 25 weeks!!!
Ive been getting crazy braxton hicks, and last week I went to l&d thinking I was in labor when it was contractions caused by a UTI. I agree to take it easy and stay as hydrated as possible. Good luck and keep us posted!
