Our appt was at 11am and we didn't see the Dr until almost an hour later. GRRRR, how are they gonna make a pregnant woman wait that long
Thankfully he is very kind and super informative and I feel extremely comfortable with him. We definitely wanted to know about the bleed that happened on Saturday and he went back to look at the ER notes and ultrasound pics and said it could of been the placenta growing into place and disturbing one of the blood vessels and that could of led to a bleed. He said that light bleeding is actually expected in most pregnancies with multiples.
He was very concerned that I had lost 13lbs and said he would like me to gain around 50lbs for the pregnancy, which would equal to about 1 1/2lbs of weight gain a week. We told him our concerns with Zofran and he reassured us that it is very safe and that the studies they did were inconclusive. So he prescribed the Zofran and said I can take it along with the Promethazine tab. He said he would like to schedule an appt for me to see a nutritionist because it's really hard to get all the nutrients and vitamins for a multiple pregnancy. I'm really glad about that
We brought up that the ER Dr said my uterus was slightly opened and that was a concern to us. He said that there are 2 openings in the uterus, the front and back and the front was slightly opened and he said that was probably due to the fact that it was letting the blood out, but in the ultrasound he said the back part was closed and that was the most important part. After he said, "Well...let's have a look at these babies!"
So the brought the ultrasound machine in the room and started scanning my belly. It was so cute to see them wiggle around in there sacs. One of them was way more active then the rest. The Dr said everything he can see looks great. He remeasured the babies and all were measuring right on target for being 9 weeks 2 days pregnant.
After the appt we headed to pick up the Zofran from the pharmacy and as soon as I got home I took it. I didn't feel sick all evening! I even ate pb&j and 2 pieces of toast with butter!! It was amazing. So this morning I only took the Zofran to see how I feel on just taking that by itself and so far so good. Praying this is the relief I've been longing for. No one should ever have to go through tossing their cookies 5-8 times a day and feeling miserable if they don't have to.
Also, the Dr highly recommended I get the flu shot because of the H1N1 flu virus that is going around and is very unsafe for pregnant women. He said there were multiple deaths of elderly people, pregnant women and children from the virus the last time it was going around. So we definitely stopped by the women's clinic after my appt to get the shot.
My next appt is on Feb 4th, not sure what is going to happen then, but I know I will be 11 weeks
I'm so thankful because every day is a milestone for us. We haven't made it this far!!! today is 9 weeks and 3 days. Thank you Lord
I keep ziplock bags in my car and whenever I feel the urge, I head to my car and take care of business in peace.
I'm standing in agreement with you sis!
So since yesterday marks me at 10 weeks, I told hubby to give it another shot. The package states you can hear it starting at around 14 weeks, but when I read reviews online, I saw some heard it as early as 10 weeks.
