a hopeful mommy to be
my twins are 8 years old and they are for the most part good kids. i am expecting my 3rd child in march. i am having a girl. i am considered high risk cuz i had twins and cuz i had preclampsia during my 1st pregnancy. i thought this pregnancy would be smooth sailin for me, but i was wrong. i was told i had toxoplasmosis, then i had my blood sent off for further testin and it ended up bein negative, so i got passed that hurdle and then the next hurdle showed its ugly head, i am RH A- and my husband is 0 + and when i had my twins i recieved the rhogam shot but either didnt get enuff of it or didnt get it at all cuz my blood has produced the antibodies toward positive fetuses . so i have to see my regular obgyn and a specialist. my regular ob i see every 3-4 weeks and my specialist i see every 2 weeks. every other visit at my specialist office i have to go thru a amniocentesis. i had my 1st one at 16 weeks and it determined that my baby girl's blood typin was + just like her daddy's. so i have to have a amnio every other visit to my specialist. the specialist says shes doin great, growin and showin no signs of anemia or any other serious problems. shes very active and weighs 11 ounces. 2 weeks prior to that she weighed 7 ounces. he thinks everything is goin to just fine with my baby girl. i pray so, shes done been thru enuff and i am wantin her to be stubbern and fight off anything that may bother her while in my belly. i take a vcr tape with me to each appointment and he gets her on my vcr tape so my husband can see her move and squirm bout. this whole thing has had us stressed out. in the very beginning we was told we was pregnant, then was told that we was pregnant by all the test but there was no baby in the sac, just a empty sac,that id miscarry and rejcet the pregnancy when my body couldnt carry it no more , it devestated us, then a week later went back to the hospital and they finally found the baby, i just wasnt far enuff for them to see her yet. then we get passed that then had to deal with the toxoplasmosis which ended up negative thank god and now we got this last hurdle to pass. i am soon startin my 6th month and the doctors think she will be just fine, she is showin no signs of any problems and is healthy as she can be. i have decided to name her' Heavenly Danielle Chastain ' the reason i chose heavenly is cuz shes been thru sooo much i wanted to thank my good lord above by givin her a name that showed my thanks to him. shes definately my little miracle baby. Has anyone else out there been thru this, to where your blood has produced antibodies towards positive blood type babies and the rhogam shot does no good cuz u already got the antibodies? if so, can you tell me bout your experience with it please. thanks for reading my message. and yall have a great day.
