*tears* thank you! needed to hear that right now. i am of course hoping this heals. that's the first hurdle. then i am high risk for it happening again and preterm labor because of all the blood in uterus irritating it. the dr explained that 2nd tri bleeding worries him because most will have the baby early. he didn't give me happy ending stories...mean dr.....but i plan to take it very easy and do a lot of praying.
They look lovely hun! I wants!!!
I know it must be hard to really relax with all this going and that the 50/50 odds are probably playing around and around a fair bit too, its only natural. But...I think that you actually caught this tear early and there are positives to this situation : You caught it early, theres no more bleeding and cramping is easing. To me, it sounds like things are probably healing. I think they got you on bed rest at the right time, and when you put it all together I think its looking and sounding damn good for a full healing on that placenta! Your perseverance that you werent happy with the technicans analysis were right on...and because of that your doc found out what was going on, got you off your feet and on the road to recovery. Imagine if youd just taken the first docs words for it and just carried on as you were.
I think youre a strong lady Tina. And you also have a strong little boy with Aden. This Rainbow baby of yours is going to be no different. He comes from strong stock and is fighting right along with youHe will be fine chick. You both will! xxxxx
it was the bright red blood that prompted me to hound the dr. you can't tell me that that is unexplained. give me a break! thankful for an answer cause the er gave me different instructions than the dr did after that 2nd scan. 2 more days till my dr appt and i am gonna throw a tantrum to get a scan next week!
I think youll be doing the right thing by staming your legs and feets to get that early scan. Not just for peace of mind that things 1) arent worse 2) showing some improvement, but also because having the reassurance with the scan will promote a more positive outlook when you see your little boy waving away and that things havent got any worse. I think the doctors have not been very nice with how they have handled you and I can understand that emotionally it has really left you in limbo.
Ive always been a believer in a womans instinct is not often wrong. Your fast acting and disbelief in your first opinion has most likely been what has now saved this pregnancy
As for the early labour, maybe Rainbow will come early, but even if he does come before his due date I am 1000000% sure that it will be at a time where he is fully capable of screaming his lungs out and pooping all over dad
Way I see it...if this was going to end badly hun, and if the tear was not going to heal, I reckon you would have had a continuation of the bleeding and same symptoms. It sounds like the bed rest is really working and that baby is very happy tucked up in Mummy and has no intention of going any place else for a good few months yet!
I think youll feel better after this next scan I really do. Youve had a big shock with everything thats happened and youre being the nurting and protecting mummy by worrying. It doesnt mean theres any need too though. Youll have baby in your arms at the end of all this.

haha! that gave me a good laugh!
the no bleeding isn't an indication of what's going on in there. bright red bleeding would mean for sure active bleeding. but no bleeding can either mean it's now formed a clot-bad-, it's pooled in there-bad, or it's reasborbed-good! only way to know which it is is from a scan. which i damn well better get! i don't think i will be going back to work at all. i would feel like i have the best chance if i stay home and literally go nowhere until this baby is here. i am a part of my cousin's wedding at the end of this month and will have to tell her i cannot make it.hate to miss it and feel terrible about it, but it's a weekend event and an hour and a half away.
on a happy note, i swear i can feel my baby boy kicking me! it feels like little flutters or painless muscle spasms.
Aww.. 
See..hes letting you know hes fine and dandy in there! xx
Btw Tina...should be proud of yourself for how youre handling all the extra stress thats on you right now. I know you went through some emotionally draining experiences to get to this Rainbow right here...but this one is for keeps chick. Dont let the worry take you too far under

thanks! i have to admit i had a big pity party for myself last week. ranting on how it wasn't fair that it took a year and two losses to get pregnant and then this happens. it's not fair,yada yada yada. but, it really has made me look at life itself differently. i appreciate ds SO much more and every little thing he does i cherish. i am in awe how i had him so easily, clubfoot and all.

She must be very stressed right now. I hope that when you next get an update that they have managed to stop the labour from progressing. x

that's what I keep trying to tell myself now. And I've banned myself from google. Scaring me too much. See the dr tomorrow and will demand an ultrasound for next week. This waiting is driving me mad.*tears* thank you! needed to hear that right now. i am of course hoping this heals. that's the first hurdle. then i am high risk for it happening again and preterm labor because of all the blood in uterus irritating it. the dr explained that 2nd tri bleeding worries him because most will have the baby early. he didn't give me happy ending stories...mean dr.....but i plan to take it very easy and do a lot of praying.

Tina thats fantastic news that you can feel him kicking you now!! That must be such a wonderful feeling
Youll get the scan. I dont see why they would deny you when youre in a position of extreme stress and/or anxiety.
I think when youve had something like this come about, its understandable about deciding to take it easy for the remainder of the pregnancy. To be completely honest, I think I would be doing the same. And Im sure everyone will understand that you are doing the absolute most you can to nurture your special cargo
Btw Tina...should be proud of yourself for how youre handling all the extra stress thats on you right now. I know you went through some emotionally draining experiences to get to this Rainbow right here...but this one is for keeps chick. Dont let the worry take you too far under

And hes a credit to you Tina. Hes a real little cutie!
Who wouldnt have a pity party? You had a scare, were fobbed off by people you put your trust in, then got given unsettling news. I think id be more worried if you didnt go on a downer about wht was going on!
I think its important too anyway. If you dont let out the worries and the fears they are only going to fester inside of you and then youre only going to make yourself sick. Sometimes it takes us to hit bottom emotionally to find the strenth and determination to look back up and say "nope...im fighting this!!!". And it seems to me that youre handling this situation incredibly. Youre doing all that you need too to help the physical aspect heal and youre being a very strong lady
as of now she is doing ok and hoping to make it to 32 weeks. she will be on HBR until baby comes now. that would be very hard. my friend told me that you can't even roll over on your own there. they have 2 nurses come and flip you every hour or so. not even sure she can get up to use the bathroom!
Oh my
Bless him he is soooo darn cute!!! You have a little heartbreaker in the making there hun! The town better lock up their daughters!!
Yep youre definitely starting to show now! Such a cute bump forming Tina
