Happy New Year, Sad Update. Posted: 01-01-06 01:29am
Hey everyone. I know I haven't been on
for awhile. I had a bit of a bad spell
for awhile. A few weeks ago, I started
having contractions and getting really
dizzy. I ended up going to the hospital
after I passed out at mike and jenny's
house. They got the contractions under
control and kept me overnight to keep an
eye on me. The doctors told me that I was
under too much stress so I need to spend
more time relaxing. Basically, they told
me to stay in bed until february. They
said I could develop more complications
with my pregnancy because I didn't have
the right nutrition and care for so long
in the beginning. I didn't take the news
well. I can't go to school now, so i've
got a home bound tutor who comes in and
teaches me every day. If it wasn't for
her, i'd have to repeat my junior year. I
wouldn't be able to handle that. I'd have
no chance of getting into a good college.
So... This pretty much is a no win
situation. The baby is currently doing
okay. She's still smaller than the
doctors would like her to be, but I
haven't been able to keep much food down
lately. The dizzyness and fainting might
be caused by low blood sugar because I
haven't been eating well. I go in once a
week now to get my blood sugar tested and
to get checkups for the baby. I don't
know. It all pretty much sucks. I'm
going to go crazy if I really have to stay
in the house for the next 6-8 weeks.
Anyway... If anyone here has had to deal
with this stuff in the past, drop me a
note and give me something to do. I hope
this baby is worth the trouble she's
already given me!

So if you dont eat much, your baby doesnt
grow properly? I didn't think that
affected the baby. I've heard of anorexic
women giving birth to big healthy babies,
maybe some are just very lucky?
Goodluck with your pregnancy, hope things
get better and your baby is okay, I sent
you a private message.

Younger women tend to have the same
pregnancy symptoms as you are having, I
promise many of them deliver healthy
babies. If you can try drinking ensure,
or boost! It has extra protein calories
ect..And will give you body a boost!

Thanks everyone. And allie, just so you
know, she's growing properly, the doctors
just think she's a little too small.
Didn't want you to worry or anything!
She's healthy. Just small.

The baby is worth it all ....And you can
take sitting in your house that
long....Take all that time and rest rest
rest....Because when that baby gets here
you are gonna wish that you had all that
time back to use for sleep....Because you
wont ever get any....So cherish this time
you have...Just get a friend to come and
spend time with you ...Read mag, watch
tv...But don't stress and eat ...Hope
everything goes good though...Best of luck

That's good to hear.
You've made it this far, you can make it
another couple of months. It will be
worth all the hard times when you see your
baby, thats what I keep reminding myself.
Not long to go now!

Ah, bedrest. I'm afraid I might have to
do that as well. I'm already appearing to
be nine months (or so my doctor says) an I
still have four months to go. I was told
I was having twins, but nwo i'm worried
there's more than two!
