Newbie here

Hi, my name is Rita and this place was recommended by JennRenee, whom I know from elsewhere on the net, and even share the same OB. I live in Eastern Queens and have been married for 5 years. We have a 2.5 yo son, Lucas, and am 24 weeks pregnant with a daughter.

I'm a very high risk pregnancy, am GD on insulin (was with my son, too), have a uterine deformity that puts me at a great risk for premature birth. I had a cerclage placed at 20 weeks and went into perterm labor, spending a week in the hospital. I'm home on modified bedrest now, and hoping to get this little one as far into the third trimester as possible. My son was a 36 weeker, and we were amazed I carried him that long.

And, if my obstetrical history is not enough, I found out I was pregnant on August 3rd!!!!! This little girlie is a PILL baby, and I continued to get periods and take the pill for about 3 months into the pregnancy. My first OB visit the u/s dated us at 18 weeks. I had my amnio the next day, and the level 2 u/s the day after that. It's been an interesting 6 weeks, huh?????

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Rita
