Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been on lately. I've had a terrifying 24 hours

It started when I woke up yesterday morning and started gushing bright red blood. I started feeling faint, and almost passed out. I was rushed to the hospital where I stayed for the next 5-6 hours.

After about an hour of waiting and 1 pad later, I was given my own room. They didn't bring be back sooner because I wasn't cramping. We did some blood work and a quick ultrasound. They didn't have a high quality ultrasound machine in the ER, but the doctor said could see "some fetal movement". Doctor asked me to start drinking lots of liquids, because I needed to go to radiology for another ultrasound. So I literally chugged a litre of water and waited in anticipation. I waited ONE FREAKIN' HOUR with a full bladder. Ladies, it hurt to move, hurt to laugh, hurt to do ANYTHING with the full bladder. I started to cry because I held it in so long and it hurt so bad.

I eventually had a second scan, and there we saw our precious joy on the screen. The ultrasound tech said the baby looked good and the heart was beating quickly. I had an apple before the scan, so it might have been the sugar. We went back to the room and the doctor arrived about an hour later. She said the baby "looks good" and that I will have to "watch and wait" to see if I miscarry. She said that bleeding during pregnancy is very common, and to come back if it intensifies or I start bleeding clots. She didn't even check my cervix to see if its still closed.

I left feeling disappointed. Happy that I saw the baby, 11w5d old with a strong heartbeat, but scared because I have to "watch and wait". Tomorrow I'm officially 12 weeks and was preparing to tell more people. Now, I'm not so sure if I will be ready to share my news.

The bleeding has stopped. Just brown discharge now. I don't have any period like cramping. All good signs.

I'm terrified. The ER doctor said I should check in with my family doctor in a few days. This whole ordeal has put me on edge.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I had a similar experience with my first pregnancy, they told me that after the bleeding and seeing a hb on the ultrasound that my odds were 85% that everything would be fine. It was. I personally would wait to tell people, but the odds are in your favour.

 

[Hope87]

ClaireJ23, did they figure out what caused your bleeding? How long did it take for the bleeding/spotting to stop?

 

[tallybee]

Omg hope that sounds terrifying hun. I'm glad things seem good now, I have everything crossed for it all to be good for u xx

 

[Serenjay]

Aww Hope that is scary!!! Hope your going to be ok

 

[ClaireJ23]

ClaireJ23, did they figure out what caused your bleeding? How long did it take for the bleeding/spotting to stop?

Yes, it was diagnosed as a SCH (sub chorionic hematoma). Bleeding stopped within 48 hours. Mine happened at 9 weeks, SCH was still there at the 12 week ultrasound but was gone by 20 weeks. Those odds quoted are for threatened miscarriage which is was they call it when you have bleeding but baby is OK on ultrasound. Baby now a two-year old.

Hi all - can I be added? I'm due Oct 27.

Welcome! I'll add you in now!



Aliop, freaky about the fortune teller! I have a friend on here who says I'm psychic about guessing baby genders. I think I've only been wrong twice since I joined the forums. But I have to get a feeling, and I don't get a feeling about everybody.

And now I want you to guess me lol...

Like I said, I don't get a feeling about everybody. Maybe girl for you, but I'm not sure enough to bet on it.


Hope, how scary! I hope everything turns out just fine!

 

[Pinkyndapain]

Im due October 27

 

[GingerPanda]

Welcome! I'll add you in!

 

[apreslaube]

Scary!

This is our last too - and first. Though we may adopt later if we are called to.

 

[apreslaube]

Seriously why is everything so different on size and weight? My baby is 2 inches. Or 2 1/2 or even 3. And he's .5 ounces. Our maybe a full ounce. He's a lime or possibly a "large" plum. Lol

 

[nmpjcp2015]

My harmony results will be in this afternoon apparently according to the midwife I spoke to yesterday. Husband is certain he wants to know the gender this time I am on the fence eeeekkkkk!!!!

Find out!

Yes! Find out!

Scary!

This is our last too - and first. Though we may adopt later if we are called to.

I think it will be for us too. It's my first and his second, and as much as I'm excited about our precious little bundle. And believe me I'm so grateful but... pregnancy sucks big time.

Welcome newbies...

Ohhh... I want you to guess me too... surely you have a feeling

 

[Dark_Star]

Hope, I completely understand your feelings. I had bleeding from week 5 to week 10, and heavy red bleeds several times within that time frame. One time I lost half a cup, it was literally enough to run down and make a puddle on the floor! But babies are still okay, in fact at my last ultrasound I got the good news that the SCHs had healed. For the last week and a half I have had no spotting of any color at all.

 

[3boys]

Ginger please guess for Me x

 

[Dark_Star]

Do you have a feeling for my babies, GP? Or do you need to see a scan pic first.

 

[Serenjay]

My daughter seems to think its a girl, so does her partner... my OH said he is getting boy vibes from the scans... I have NO idea... and im staying team yellow so will hopefully be a long time till I find out..

This is also my last pregnancy... I am 42.. so to be honest I am happy to be pregnant..never thought I would get this far again.. just praying its a long healthy pregnancy.
