Medically Managed Pregnancy Chatter #2

[Khaleesi]

Thought i might pop my head in here & say Hi.

I suffer from a chronic illness which was diagnosed when i was 18 so 8yrs ago now, it can make pregnancy more complicated then it should be.
I've been very lucky that my Illness has stayed in remission since we found out & fx it stays in remission.
Our may concern is that medication i'm on is sucking all the calcium out of me & my Vit D levels keep dropping even with extra vitamins i'm taking, My iron & Hb levels are also dropping fast which means i'll need an iron/blood transfusion just before birth or right after birth.
On the positive everything with Bambi is looking good, no cleft was seen at our u/s & she is ahead for dates so i'm really happy the medication didn't have any effect on her.

Well I'm back again, freaky that this time last year I was chatting in the support thread, DD is now 8 months old and I'm 10wks 2d pregnant with our little surprise baby #3, I'll be high risk again because of the GD with DD, multiple first trimester losses (I've passed my magic number of 8 weeks now so FXed it won't happen) and an irritable uterus (which as already started to cause trouble), at least it won't be because of the c-sec I had with DS because I got my VBAC with DD so proud of myself for that, and it was a short labour of 4hrs 43min after my OB broke my waters at 40+2

I also have a large 6cm cyst on my ovary that no one thinks is serious enough to monitor for some reason even though it causes me a lot of pain gives me constant lower abdominal tenderness that makes ultrasounds (and even going to the toilet) extremely painful. Any pressure on my lower belly really hurts

My 12wk scan is on the 21st at 9am, and I also see my OB the same day ta 11am, so FXed the cyst has shrunk and not grown and bub is perfect and healthy and wriggling around like crazy

Hi everyone!
