Birth Plans/Preferences: I am just hoping this one is not as hard as the last. Anything else you'd like to share: I have a rare pregnancy disease called Intraheptic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. The last two pregnancies were really really hard. I am constantly sick and high risk. Both babies were born early with some complications. I am going to be trying a special diet this time and hope the ICP stays away long as possible. I was about 24 weeks when it started last time and there is a 90% chance I will get it again. I am gonna need some support through this so I am really happy to be here!

Congrats! I hope you can keep the ICP at bay. I have never heard of that before. Having had a preemie myself, I can understand you wanting to stay healthy as long as possible! I am terrified of another NICU experience. Here's hoping we both have complication free, full-term pregnancies.

Well after a surprise BFP yesterday morning and a + digital last night here I am! Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
EDD: May 2nd
Your Name: Denise
Age: 28
State or Country: mn
How long it took to you to get your BFP: we were TTA
What number child is this for you: #3 (we each have 1 from previous marriages)
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies):
Brady- SO, DS-5, DSD-5, we live on a farm so plenty of critters
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): no idea, but I think we will find out. With DS I 'knew' he was a boy and my first instinct this time is girl, but it's early
Birth Plans/Preferences: I was natural with DS so hoping the same.
Anything else you'd like to share: I had Hyperemesis with my DS, basically spent the entire pregnancy on bed rest, had home care nurses, and a PICC line for TPN, so praying so hard this one will be different!

I may do that. I don't "think" I had PTL. I had PPROM. However, in hindsight I did have a lot of abdominal pain. I thought it was round ligament pain, but it may have been ptl (although it didn't feel at all like contractions, just intense consistent pain especially when I was doing a lot of walking or other active things (cleaning the house, out shopping, etc.)). I am going to be much more aware this pregnancy if I start having that pain.

I live in the NW suburbs of the cities. Hoping to move to either the Mankato area or the SW suburbs of the cities. I have a potential job opportunity in North Mankato.
