34 week appt or Delivery day

As I mention in my earlier post, I had severe swelling for a few weeks. My size 7 flip flops were replaced with a tight size 9 flip flop. Most of my day (on bed rest) was elevating my feet to try to keep the swelling at a minimum with no luck. I had researched swelling and found that only if my face were to swell would there be a concern of preeclampsia. I didn't think I looked any more swollen in the face than before the pregnancy.

On this day and at my doctor's office, I found that I had gained 12 pounds in one week and my protein levels were high. It only took my doctor one quick glance to realize I had preeclampsia and needed to deliver right away.

We were admitted to the hospital where the admitting doctor ran more in-depth tests to verify the preeclampsia. The lab results were staggering and I delivered an hour later.

If you have good credit, you may be able to get a personal line of credit to help fund your IVF procedure. Many homeowners can even take out a line of credit against their home to get the cash needed to undergo IVF. There may also ne IVF loans or even grants available that many are looking into. Insurance is not going to cove IVF in most cases and if you have insurance. You can talk to the insurance company to see if any costs or medication fees will be covered at all. Some may not be able to take out a loan, and therefore may consider talking to relatives or friends to see if they can help out at all. Hospitals for IVF in Thailand

Congratulations, babies looks very cute,
May I know how much of Vitamin C and Folic acid did you take when your membranes ruptures? I had one at 22 weeks but I lost my twins. Just wanted to start taking this time when doing another round of FET to be on the safer side.

Thanks
