hi girls,
i am 12 weeks 1 day with my 2nd baby.. last sunday whilst out shopping with my daughter a sunday gush of blood came from no where and was uncontrollable it just wouldnt stop it was like my waters had broken..but blood. it was all over the shop (as i had a dress on) and i have never been so terrified and embaressed at something happening to me before..
i got rushed to hospital and tests were carried out and an internal examination she could not see any clots and womb wasnt maybe as tight as it should be but could be due to the fact i have given birth before. the blood was so extreme and was coming through onto hospital sheets on bed through my clothes at this point i was more than certain my baby was gone.. i got transferred to my chosen hospital to have my baby as the other hospital did not have a maternity section. the bleeding lightened off after a while and was given all clear to go home and come back the next day for a scan as they didnt do them at weekends..so i got of of bed and seen blood on sheets again and went to toilet to only see the blood was starting again i was so frightened and felt really ill and faint as i came out the loo my legs were collapsing and i was not well atall my babys father helped me onto bed and told midwife wht had happened and she agreede it was best i was kept in as i was suffering from mild cramping also..so i was sput ina room next to woman who all had there beuatiful newborns crying etc andi found this a really painful experiance as i thought my baby was gone! my babys father wasnt allowed to stay so i stayed alone that night and was very upset..
next morning i thought the pain had stopped until i got up to go to the loo..the pain was so extreme i couldnt stand up straight and had to get a wheelchair to take me down to scanning unit about 8am. my babys father wasnt allowed back in until 9am and i felt so alone and upset in that room myself after the longest hour in the world he arrived and we got taken to scan dept.
the baby was there? with a heart beat? and moving? it just didnt make sense to me i really couldnt come to beleive he/she was still fighting! the scan showed large blood heamorrages all around baby sac and was told there is no explanation but there was stil more to come! the good news we wanted although i was still doubled over in pain!
so we got to go home and i went straight to bed for some rest..and stayed with my mum for a few days so she could help out with my daughter as i couldnt even walk to be able to look after her properly.
thursday...getting ready for my 12 week scan that was already booked (was told still to go) i get a phone call from doctors saying my bloods are back and i have an underactive thyroid and ccan cause great risk to baby! it should be sitting between 1-3..mines is 17.9! why was i getting all this bad news?
so i went for my scan..baby wasnt very active wouldnt move much and as my stomach was stil very tender..the scanner woman digging in to wake baby up was just traumatising i was close to tears at the scan tht most woman and men come out feeling great after? i didnt enjoy my scan atall and felt really upset about theway i felt. i am still getting pain in my stomach its just horrible..the scan showed there was still blood to come and i feel so terrified to ever leave my house again..the ony time i have left my house since sunday is for doctors and hospital appoitments..i really dont know how i am ever going to get myself back out fearing when this blood is going to come back as i ws horrendous this happening in a shop infront of loads of people.
yesterday i went to docs to get treatment for my thyroid and have tablets..i was told i am most likely to be on these for the rest of my life.. this also is really getting to me i dont want to be on medication forever and the first 10 weeks is when ur baby relys on ur thyroid which i dont have much going for...i am now 12 weeks and baby will have own thyroid so what if the damage is already done? i have heard this causes brain development problems? i feel so negative about this pregnancy now and have a gut feeling something is going to go horribly wrong for me or baby or both! i have been booked in with an obstetrican on 9th august and will continue to see her throughout my pregnancy and likely to get frequently scanned through this pregnancy..
i know nobody will have exact same story here..but anyone who can relate to any of this please reply? i feel really confused and negative about everything and really worried damage has been done to my baby already.
sorry for such a long post
