My baby girl is going to have a baby! She is due June 13. It's such a gift, but also a time for concerns.
My daughter has polycystic ovaries and was on Depo shots for the last 6 or 7 years. She had been told it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. She and her husband had decided that they would just see what happened and not stress. She had to be off of the Depo for 9 months to a year before trying, so at their first anniversary, she stopped the shots and they used alternate birth control. This summer, they stopped using birth control.
She figured out at 4 weeks that she was pregnant, but then started bleeding. After a bunch of tests, they figured out that she has a compartmented utereus. So, she is pregnant on one side and bleeding from the other. Fortunately, that appears to have finally stopped. She will have to be watched to make sure the baby has enough room. She is also Factor 5...an inherited condition from her dad that puts her at high risk for blood clots. When you add in that she is a big girl, this all puts her in the high risk category. So, the delivery will be "managed".
We are over the moon. I can't believe that my baby is having a baby. I will be doing childcare for the first year...though they will be paying me (less than daycare, but I can't give up all my income for a year). You can now call me grandma (or Fifi...which is what her husband's son has decided to call me...and I decided that I liked it!).
This is very cool!
My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
