<r>Emily,<br/> <br/> You know, I doubt I'd still be on this forum 4 years later if I didn't find a certain connection here that I didn't find elsewhere. Some people can suprise you and be genuinely understanding and supportive, but having "been there" means you can connect on a completely different ...

Continued prayers sent your way...

<t>Yep, ditto to everything! Congratulations on your decisions and I hope that all goes well for you on each front. I too would suggest a preconception consult. I just had one with a great doctor, though we don't plan to try for a while. We're in the middle of an addition/remodel that'll be followed...

<t>It's good to hear from you! The pics of the girls are great. There are a fair number of PF members in Washington, so you'll be in good company.

I had to stay overnight at the hospital for mine,...

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as well.

<t>I wanted to extend a welcome to you as well, Julie! I second the suggestion Caryn made. I don't know if your GP's and our GP's are similarly trained, but I too would suggest a perinatologist or someone who specializes in preeclamptic pregnancies. While I was treated by a GP in my first pregnancy ...

<r>I was at my lowest a 6, diagnosed around 29 weeks gestation. Can't-sit-up bedrest increased mine by a few points just over the weekend, so I didn't have to be shipped out of town for monitoring/delivery. <br/> <br/> Here's a link to a past discussion on the forums about oligo (what is diagnostic,...
