:wave:I have some catching up to do on this thread..I haven't been on here responding much because I needed to get to a better space of mind...
Maks- glad to hear the clot is gone!
Dove and Alice- yay for great scans!
Becca- CUTE announcement! What kind of responses did you get from your friends?
Bellum- the news sounds more positive when you have all the info. best wishes for your little one to be perfectly healthy!
June- sorry you had such a bad time coming off the meds! I hope you're able to get back on and that they can give you some quick relief!
Lib- sorry you had a rough night and DH was so unsupportive! How would he feel if he had to deal with all these pieces of pregnancy?!
Caro- I had an irritated throat last night and finally tried warm water with honey/lemon and that did the trick. Hope yours is feeling better!
AFM, its been a hard couple of days since that STUPID STUPID doctor told me (over the phone at that) that I was starting to miscarry!!! It's hard to stay positive when a trained professional tells you that your pregnancy is highly unlikely to continue!
My own doc called yesterday and helped answer some questions. She also scheduled a scan for next Friday to look at my cervix length (they can only assess that once you're at least 16 weeks). She said I could come to the office anytime-even every day- to listen to the baby's heartbeat and be reassured that things are ok.
I had another 5 hours of bad contractions last night & I started to think that was it
...but they subsided by 11pm and bleeding stayed light. I called my doc's office this morning and explained about the new contractions. The nurse said its possible they are caused by my body trying to expel more clots or being irritated by blood collecting in the uterus. I asked if we could move up our scan to today instead of waiting til next Friday.
So we got in this afternoon and baby is just fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The clot is also slightly decreased in size. The nurse said we should be reassured by this and to try and be cautiously optimistic. There's no guarantee that everything will turn out ok but the outlook is so much better now. I can't even begin to explain the relief I feel.
