Hi thanks so much about the PTL planning. Shame on me, I hadn't thought about bed rest or hospital bed rest (knock on wood- I won't need it). Any other tips/suggestions?
What were your side effects of p-17? I've read a lot about headaches, nausea 2-3 days following. Already anxious about these!
How long did you have to wait to see your OB after you were preg w #2? I ask bc I won't be seen until may 1. I know it's only 3wks, but I guess that I figured that they'd see me right away.

Sorry for the 1million questions. It's so awesome to know someone who has already been through this!

17p: I was a little hormonal at first, but other than that, just some tenderness at the injection site. You get it in your hip/backside, and I made the mistake of walking around the grocery store after the first injection. It gets better after that, though. After a while I barely felt it. You may want to go back to TB and ask on the high risk board. Lots of ladies there have taken it.

bedrest prep: start thinking now about what to do with Henry if you end up on some kind of bed rest. DD was older, so when I rested, I just lay on the couch while she watched TV. We had lots of dinners at her little card table so I could eat laying down.

OB visit: I started seeing the OB at the regular time, I think around 8 weeks, maybe earlier? Most of the interventions don't start until midway through the second trimester, so anything in addition to regular visit stuff would just be talking about future plans.

I'm happy to help!
