Hi Girls.
I hope you all are doing well. I'm alright. I had a bit of a scare yesterday morning though. I got up to use the restroom
and when I wiped I saw bright red blood.
I immediately panicked and called my doc who sent me to the ER. Upon being taken to a room the dr there who saw me immediately placed orders for blood work, urinalysis, and a scan. A few mins later he came to talk to me to get the background of what was going on. And immediately after that a nurse arrived to get urine and blood from me. She took 5 tubes of blood. So I felt good about that as it showed me that they were being vigilant since my history of miscarriage and checking all of the bases. They of course checked my hcg which turned out to be 9000. The ultrasound showed my cervix is closed and we saw a gestational sac AND a yolk sac!
Which is much more than we saw last time so that's progress.
The only thing is that the sonographer also said that she saw a very tiny peri sac bleed (aka subchorionic hemorrhage). But she also didn't see any free floating blood in my uterus so that's good. She also told me that one of this tiny size isn't really concerning and can be quite common and usually doesn't cause a mc. I'm hoping she is right but naturally, I'm worried. The doc came in afterward and said that everything looked good, all my levels are great and my scan looks good too and to take it very easy for a few days and to basically be on modified bedrest and to follow up with my doc for repeat hcg and ultrasound.
I called this morning to schedule it and it turns out I will have to wait until next week as they are booked up this week.
And my doc is only in the office on Tuesdays and Fridays. Fridays only until noon. So now I have to wait to be checked on until next week.
A little nerve wracking but at least my spotting is down to a minimum small amount of brown now. I really hope to not see anymore and that this wont cause problems for me down the road in 3rd tri with early labor or placental abruption as I read can happen. Hopefully mine is so tiny it wont cause any of those problems though. (Knock on wood!) Have any of you experienced this problem or known anyone who did who can reassure me or give me advice or share their story with me? I'm still praying for a good outcome for all of this.
I hope everything is going well with all of you. I was reading this page of posts and I saw something about a post about trying caster oil to trigger labor. I'm with you guys, that is so risky and can be dangerous as it can cause the baby to have an early BM while still inside mom which can cause lots of problems after birth. I wish people would think before they act instead of being in such a rush to get the baby out. Don't get me wrong, I know how horrible it is to feel like a beached whale and be more than ready for a baby who is being stubborn to be born already but I'd still always put the well being and health of the baby before my own discomfort.
to all your due dates looming. Mine was 20th April and got quite upset but felt good to have a little cry.
