sidehop Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Women are tough cookies by far when it comes to pain...I swear it would kill us if we (men) had the option to get pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope75 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 These stories are too funny, esp. Shortpants! Meh, I'm feeling really down. I'm having more bleeding and losing more clots. I called the on call OB again and she said that although bleeding is very abnormal for my diagnosis it is expected, and that the amount doesn't indicate whether I am losing the baby as she has seen some very large bleeds turn out fine and smaller ones where the pregnancy was lost. I've been doing some reading and joined a support group for SCH and it seems this is a L-O-N-G road and for the most part it seems to linger for a long time and cause drama like this, getting smaller and then bigger. The worst part is reading about the later losses, at 21 weeks, 24 weeks.... ugh. I guess I just have to take this one day at a time. I just wish I could have a drama free pregnancy. (sorry to be a Debbie Downer, ladies...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellaDonna Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Oh my, you girls shouldn't have all these horror-birth-talks when you're so close to due date My thoughts exactly. When I was pregnant with my son I actually left a baby shower that my workplace had for me. I was due in a week and didn't need the stress. I took off early and left them all sitting there at the restaurant, saying I was tired and needed to go home and lay down. They had started with "birth stories" over lunch and I was all set with it. I was getting nauseated. TMI. I didn't want to hear it, or have to have the visual of my co-workers' vaginas and birth processes so I took off. The day of my child's birth was totally peaceful and everything went fine. I felt absolutely nothing with my c-section, and he was born in 10 minutes. It was nothing but joy that day. No terifying incidents to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaDonna Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Aww I'm sorry to hear that you are still contending with the bleeding. Do you think they will give you weekly or biweekly unltrasounds? Things looked good on your ultrasound yesterday, so hold on to that. It does seem that you will have to take this one day at a time and each passing week will be a step in the right direction. I am glad that you found a support group. Try to steer clear of the negative stories if you can though. I know the uncertaintly must be very hard, but your doc has seen cases with more bleeding, that still resulted in healthy babies so keep going back to the positive stories. You're not Debbie Downer. I am amazed at how well you are holding it together, and you are an inspiration to any mom or mom-to-be. The love you have for your little girl and your unborn child shine through in your posts and you have given all of us your advice and wisdom on pregnancy and motherhood when we needed it the most. Now we are here for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope75 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think I am losing the baby. I've been having terrible cramps and really heavy bleeding with huge clots for several hours now. I called the OB on call earlier and if it gets dangerously heavy I'll have to go to the ER. DH is checking my blood pressure at home and I'm drinking a lot of fluids. I'll call the clinic and go in tomorrow to confirm. I am absolutely crushed and totally numb right now. And to make matters worse... DH has a critical meeting at work tomorrow (that if he misses he could lose his job) at 9 am and at 10 we have the home appraiser coming to do the appraisal for our refi. I can't take this. I have never felt so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly unless it was absolutely necessary for my safety the last place I wanted to be was the ER. My husband and I wanted to say our goodbyes in the privacy and comfort of our home. He is going to tell his colleague what has happened and stay home with me today, and his mother is going to come and watch our baby and handle the appraiser who is coming at 10. I'm just waiting for the clinic to open so I can be seen today and confirm....I don't think I have ever been so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
