  1. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    First, let me just say that over the last few weeks I've developed a profound appreciation for what nurses do on a daily basis. Whatever your are paid is not enough and all of you are deserving of...

  2. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    On a whim I thought I'd see if anyone has added to this thread since I last posted a number of months ago. As had been requested, I'm putting up a few pics of the little munchkin we named Molly. The...

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wanted to make one closing post in case anyone stumbled across the thread at some point looking for some re-assurance should they find themselves in the same shoes my wife and I did. My wife's due...

    I appreciate the numerous replies I've gotten on my original thread from the nursing professionals on this board. Thanks everyone. I'm very curious to hear some honest replies based on 1st hand...

  5. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our specialist said the baby looked perfectly healthy, she's just on the small side weight wise...according to the doc. How much of this is due to our combined genetics is hard to say. My wife is 5...

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Today marks 1 day shy of 34 weeks, which is great. We had another ultrasound with the specialist last Friday. They're no longer looking at the cervical length given the number of weeks along my wife...

    Another week checked off the calendar. Today makes it 33w0d...or 9 weeks of total bedrest. She has an ultrasound appointment with the high risk specialist on Friday and a routine appointment with her...

  8. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hope I'm not boring anyone by now with weekly updates. We're now at 32w1d and the little one is on a nightly routine of kicking mommy as hard as possible between 9pm and 11pm before tuckering...

  9. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A routine doctor's appointment and another week down. Now at 31w2d. Doctor happy with how things are proceeding - she decided against an internal check believing the value of what could be learned...

  10. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :) 30 weeks, 1 day, and counting... :) Mom-to-be is still upbeat but, understandably, the stress of being on bedrest is starting to take its toll. Being at home has helped us a lot but I'd be going...

  11. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to reply to my posts and the kind words over the last few weeks. My wife had a level 2 ultrasound this past Friday with a high risk specialist. In...

  12. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just another update. We had another round of ultrasounds today. Tomorrow is officially 28 weeks so we're not technically there yet. Anyway, the ultrasound measurements came back at 2.8cm, up from...

  13. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just an update. My wife had another ultrasound yesterday. Her cervix was unchanged at 2.75 cm but the doctor did have some concern over a slight increase in the funneling. Apparently it wasn't much...

  14. Need Input from the Pros

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, I should have made my last comment a bit more clear. The reason the doctor checked her internally at 24 weeks was because my wife had a feeling something was amiss a few days prior. Turns out...

    StressedDad2Be replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the replies. My wife told me she had a nagging feeling there could be something not right. It was chance that she had an appointment a few days later. Her doctor listened to her and did...
