How is it all going jm? x

It was an awful day today. I had a follow up Dr. Appt that shouldn't have taken long except my Dr. Was running behind. I was there for almost 3 hours!!! I was not happy especially since I had DD with me.
When I got home I was having tons of bleeding and cramps so I ate and took 4 ibuprofen. I put DD down for a nap and tried to relax. I started having contractions every 3 to 5 Min. They were extremely painful. I kept running to the bathroom. After almost 3 hours of that I finally passed a huge blood cloth or maybe the sac almost the size of my palm. It was huge! I felt so much better after that. In so thankful DD took a 3 hour nap today. It was so unbearable. I'm hoping this is the end of it now. I didn't realize how painful it was.

 

[josephine3]

Aww jm i hope its soon over for u xxx

 

[Mrs W 11]

JM I was shocked that I had contractions too, they were so painful and just like very early labour. My sac was about the size of my palm too or a bit bigger so it sounds like that could have been it. I hope that bit of it is over now so that you can rest and move on to dealing with the emotional side. It doesn take a long time but it slowly gets easier.

I am still very up and down and mine happened in early January. I think I dealt with it at the time by thinking I would be pregnant straight away as I had heard you are more fertile after a mc and I have got pregnant quickly twice before so assume I am fertile anyway. Sadly my cycles are very messed up and this cycle I had spotting for 7 days after af which stopped. I then had 4 days of bleeding over ov. It stopped and then came back at 5dpo and carried on until full blown af arrived at only 9dpo. It had been heartbreaking.

This cycle I am trying agnus castus and starflower oil and I have acupuncture booked all to try and regulate my hormones. I do have a drs appointment Friday and I will ask them for scan to check it isn’t retained tissue causing the spotting.

How is everyone else?

 

[Wilsey]

I'm so sorry jm and Mrs W, it sounds so awful

I hope now that you've passed it you can move forward. Thinking of you a lot x

 

[jmandrews]

Aw I hope you can get some answers soon. A part of me fears that my cycles will be messed up after this. Trying to not get my hopes but that we will conceive right away.
Today I passed the sac. Yesterday was just a very large blood clot but today this was definitely the sac. I'm glad there was no pain with it. It was peaceful and I'm glad we can move on now. I am sad because it made it all so real but at the same time i feel good knowing we can move on. Rip my little angel. We will never forget.

 

[Mrs W 11]

I was going to say I knew when it was the sac as I could see. You'll never forget, I have a charm on my pandora bracelet for my angel

 

[jmandrews]

I think that is a very sweet that you have that to remember. I asked my DH for a charm to add to my bracelet. So hoping I will get that for Mother's Day.

 

[armywife11]

Jm I am so sorry!! I am keeping you in my thoughts. I hate that you had to go through that.


Sorry I was away. My computer died a couple weeks ago, then we went to Disneyland, and I have been sick for over a week now. I have been to the doctor twice this week and took my daughter twice for similar or same thing. I am getting zero help from the doctors as they swear its just a cold and I need to wait it out. I have been having asthma attacks and not getting better. I am hoping I will get things sorted out Monday when I see a different doc or Tuesday when I see my ob for my next check up. I did get to hear the babys heartbeat Saturday when I was in the ER and I feel constant kicks so that comforting but I am sick of being sick.

 

[jmandrews]

Thank you armywife I'm doing much better today.
DD keeps me busy and smiling. Tonight I snuggled and rocked her to sleep. She makes everything so much better. I love those moments because they don't happen often anymore.

I'm sorry you have been sick but sounds like you have been out having a good time. How was Disneyland? Hope you get well soon. Do you know what u are having yet?

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

They do know how to cheer you up when you need it most!

I went in today and finally was told by my daughters doctor it was RSV had I know that day one I would have prepared. I didn't have all the asthma meds I needed on hand. We are at the end though everyone is finally feeling better but still sick.

I have been to Disney World a hand full of times but this was our first time at Disneyland. Laila loved it, she's a Mickey junkie! It was perfect too. Not to crowded and rather cool. I missed out of the coasters and what not but I can always go back later lol.

Know we will find out at the 20 week ultrasound so sometime between this week or the next two. A lot of people go to a near by town to do the 3d one by now but I don't see any reason to. I honestly would love it if hubby changed his mind and said lets not find out again. lol

 

[armywife11]

I am finally better!! Also find out next Friday if Laila is getting a sister or brother!

 

[jmandrews]

I'm so glad you are feeling better!
So excited to hear what you are having. When do u go next week?

Friday in the morning, hubby and Laila will get to be with me so we get to find out together. I am telling you all right away but not sure if we are going to do a gender announcement for family or just tell them. I still want to keep it a secret but i won't be allowed to according to hubby lol

 

[josephine3]

Hey ladies hope u are all doing well, glad ur feeling better army, whats RSV?

So i had my 28 week mw appt today, she thinks i may have increased fluid volume so i have to have a scan on friday to get the amount of water measured. If it is diagnoed as polyhydramnios it can indicate problems with baby or put u at risk of preterm labour or early rupture of membranes because of all the pressure. That can mean increased risk of cord prolapse too. Trying not to worry but its hard! It would explain why i feel so huge and uncomfortable already. Also been having swollen ankles and shortness of breath which is apparently a symptom.

 

[armywife11]

Jo keeping you in my thoughts. I have had family with that issue and things worked out they were just on bed rest a couple times. Hopefully it's not that bad.

RSV is Respiratory syncytial virus. It is basically severe cold symptoms that in some people can become other things like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. I have asthma so I was an immediate risk for secondary problems. My doctor refused to listen to me when I said it was worse than a cold. We are no longer contagious but Laila and I are still snotty and I still have no voice. The dry air is not helping clear our sinuses plus our allergies are awful!
