[LeeC]

I have mostly been reading on here lately.

Radiance so so sorry to hear about your loss, sending hugs xx

Dairy sorry to hear your news too.

Radiance am so sorry.x

 

[Mrs Reineke]

First off Radiance I can't put into words how sorry I am that you and your family are going through this right now. Reading your post shocked me. I appologize, but I can't remember what schs is? Please take care of yourself. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

IVV, my nausea didn't kick in until I was 7 weeks. So don't panic! Hoping your ultrasound comes quick for you.

 

[Radiance]

Radiance I am so sorry to read this having suffered an abruption myself

You just don't expect an abruption to happen 'to you' once you get past 20w, did your anomaly scan not show that the placenta was coming away. How many weeks were you hun?

My abruption was concealed and revealed and it still didn't enter my head I might be having an abruption as I didn't have the pain that often goes with it even though I had lots of blood

Your very lucky, an abruption is extremely dangerous so for you to be delivering 3 days after it becoming detached is remarkable. Did you just bleed internally?

Massive hugs xx

I had a some stomach pains on Wednesday with severe nausea and chills. I didn't feel that well and went back and forth on going in. Then I felt one stronger movement and thought I was just overreacting. I went into my high risk ultrasound and there was no movement... I knew she was gone. My high risk came in and showed me the clot had tripled in size and showed me where he could see the placenta had came off killing her. I was in my
17th week. I have a history of hemorrhaging and so they watched closely. I actually didn't think they would allow me to delivery with my history, the placenta abruption, and both SCH (Subchorionic Hematoma-blood clot). After a very long and painful delivery I delivered her and one of the SCH. My cervix decided to rapidly shut close. I had to be rushed into surgery. I don't know how big the other SCH was or the details.

Here's the SCHs I delivered. It was over 7inches and about 2ish inches thick And the second picture are her handprints

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Radiance, that's so scary. I'm so sorry, and I can't even imagine what you're experiencing right now. Was the cause of the clot due to a blood clotting disorder? Or just a horrible coincidence? I'm so sorry, I can't remember who has what half the time.

It's ok. I've been tested for it multiple times. While carrying them passed away, postpartum, long after (well months), and during pregnancy. It's always been completely normal. The placental abruption was from the SCHs and those seem to be pretty common.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Radiance, gosh, I'm so sorry. It just goes to show that even women who don't have blood clotting disorders have these horrible circumstances. It makes me so sad for you. How are you feeling physically? You said they had to do surgery, was it a D & C or something else?

Radiance hun what is that pic next to your sch, xx

 

[Mitchi]

Devastating news radiance.
Take lots of time to recover and look after yourself.

Not good news here either. Spotting all weekend with back ache and cramping. Pregnancy tests over the weekend have gradually faded to virtually showing as not pregnant. So scan cancelled and meds stopped. Just wish I'd known I was pregnant sooner than I did and maybe outcome would have been different.

Hope everyone else doing ok and hopefully I'll be back soon. I still read regularly.

Xx

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Mitchi, I'm so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are going your way.

I was curious what that picture was of too Radiance.

Hey can't talk much because iPad is low. This is what's going on.

So I'm in the hospital overnight. Externally dilated to 2cm, internally 1cm and its funneling. I might not be flying out. Viability in Turkey is between 32 and 34 weeks. They're giving me steroids to develop his lungs. I got to see him 3D sucking his thumb. My husband couldn't come with me to the hospital because he needs to make sure everything is ready in case I do get to go to the states, he's at home packing my bags and everything. There is a chance they may send me to Landstuhl, Germany until he is born, or they might let me go to the states. Right now we don't know what the decision will be.

Also I'm 23+1 and he's measuring 25+1.
My internal measurement was only 2.63cm.

 

[SweetV]

My goodness ladies my heart is breaking for you.

Radiance - I am so sorry for your loss even though they were watching you so closely.

Mitchi - I'm so sorry. Please do not blame yourself.

DSemcho - Feet up, keep that weight off your cervix. Glad baby is measuring a bit advanced.

afm - I had a small bleed over the weekend that sent me into a panic. It stopped fairly quickly and the doctor did not want to see me any sooner than my scheduled appt on Wednesday. Thank goodness for my doppler.

 

[dairymomma]

Radiance-I am SO very sorry to hear your news. I do not have any words that will take away your pain right now but know that I'm thinking of you and your family during this extremely difficult time.

Mitchi-I'm so sorry to see your news too. But don't blame yourself. As hard as it is not to in some cases, you didn't cause this.

Dsemcho-take it easy and things will work out how they are meant to work out. As the pp said, stay off your feet to keep that baby off your cervix. Is it too late to do a cerclage if you are dilated that much already? Aside from the steroids, are your doctors doing anything else to help keep baby boy where he belongs for as long as possible? I have a friend who had placenta previa (found with an ultrasound at 21 weeks) that caused her cervix to do much the same thing and she took progesterone pessiaries to see if it would help. It didn't but complete bed rest kept her little girl in utero until they did a c-section at 37 weeks.

 

[loeylo]

Mitchi - sorry to hear your news!

Dsemcho - oh my goodness how scary! Hopefully everything will be ok for you! It's scary how much viability can vary by country.

Afm - got my booking appt today (I'm 14w tomorrow! So late!) and I almost in a bad crash a few days ago which scared us both a lot. Someone manoeuvred into our lane at the last second without indicating, nearly hit the front passenger door (where I was sitting) so my partner had to emergency stop at 60mph and swerve to avoid being hit. The other driver drove away without even apologising and luckily nothing went into the back of us. The dog was hurt a little as he went flying into the dog gate which then landed on top of him, crushing him. We are all ok but it was really scary nonetheless.

 

[Hope39]

DS - that's ludicrous that viability is 32-34 weeks, how can they not try and save a baby that is born at say 31w. I'd be devastated as they are properly formed, would just be underweight. Why are they giving you steroids if viability for them is 32w, steroids only work for 2 weeks

I'm confused what gestation you are as your scan pick says 24+1?!

I hope everything works out right for you hun

Xx

 

[blueblue]

Radiance -

Mitchi - I'm so sorry to hear your news. Please don't blame yourself

D - Make sure you put your feet up, I hope everything goes well. It's good that he's measuring two weeks ahead.

Sweet - I'm glad you have the doppler to reassure you. I hope the bleeding settles down now

Loeylo - glad you are ok after your accident. It's great they finally sorted the booking appointment, do you have a scan tomorrow?

Mitrchi - im so sorry hun xx
