Today I had a doctor's appointment to discuss some things with my OB Dr. Mulder. They noticed that I had a bacterial infection at my last appt so they prescribed some medicine to me and after receiving it I noticed the pamplet that came with it warned to not take in the first three months of pregnancy due to the possibility of birth defects...I immediately started freaking out and decided not to take it, we talking about that today and the risks of not taking it versus taking another medicine so I will trust that she knows what she is doing and will begin taking it next week when I turn 12 weeks. Also, she wants to start me on weekly progesterone shots beginning at 16 weeks to prevent pre term labor & pre term rupture of membranes like I dealt with for Aydin. Pre-term labor started at 28 weeks with contractions everyday that caused me to go to the hospital and get shots and meds for that. My water broke at 36 weeks with Aydin and even though everything turned out fine she wanted to make sure that it doesn't start earlier this time...She said these shots are really painful so I need to be prepared for it which totally freaks me out but I guess it is best for the baby so we will make sure to do it no matter what! Lets hope the insurance will approve having a nurse come to our house weekly to do the shots because I really don't look forward to driving to the doctor's office every week to get a painful shot.

I pray that you get approved and that it's not as painful as you've heard. You are a tough woman who is a deticated mom - I'm so proud of you for all the things you do!!! Love you!!
