D&C tomorrow morning

NikNJim · 04-03-2009, 06:42 AM

T........ugh, I am sorry. I have one after my m/c and I feel terrible for anyone that has to go through that.

Seth's Mommy · 04-03-2009, 08:02 PM

T - I hope things went as well as possible today. Take care of yourself.

Seth's Mommy · 04-03-2009, 08:07 PM

I went in for the u/s today to verify the miscarriage. As I am laying there pretending I was anyhwere else, the doctor says "there's the heartbeat". There is a heartbeat and a fetal pole. The baby is only measuring 6 weeks and I am 7 weeks 5 days. The bleed is still there. The doctor says that they sometimes resolve themselves.

I am in shock.

I didn't do my PIO shot on Tues or Thursday, I've been drinking Diet Pepsi and vanilla lattes like crazy, I dyed my hair and I ate a huge pile of shrimp yesterday. If this pregnancy progesses then I am going to be alot less stressed about what I can/can't do. With Seth I was sure that looking at a Diet Pepsi would be disastrous.

zevi · 04-03-2009, 11:26 PM

T: So sorry!
Heather: That is seriously unbelievable. And so exciting.

Sorry that I have been so sporadic in posting lately. I have been reading and keeping up with you here and there. We were waiting to get the go ahead to do a new cycle and got pushed back from March until April. I figured I would let you know when we started the cycle. Well - lo and behold -I was late, and finally POAS this morning and it was positive. I am so shocked. With all of our issues, it is seriously a surprise. It is still early and we are telling NO ONE (well, just you guys) until much much later. I am very very conscious that anything can still go wrong. But I am also thrilled. Anyway, I will do my best to be a better poster! (BTW, Niv is great, 9 months today!)

jpoo · 04-04-2009, 04:45 AM

Good morning,

T...I hope that you are doing a little better this morning. I always found it to be a bit of a relief to not be in that waiting/limbo stage. Not that it is easy to move on and heal...but you will start feeling a little better as time passes. ((HUGS))

Crazy updates:

Heather...OMG that is amazing!! I can't imagine what you are feeling right now. What did your RE say?

Zevi...what a wonderful surprise :-))) Congratulations...I am so happy for you! I can't believe that Niv is 9 mo already...wow!

Robyn...Ella is a coffee drinker now? LMAO...too funny :-)

AFM:
I'm sorry that I haven't been updating...Robyn chided me :-( When I don't feel very good and I am worried I get very quiet. I lurk, but don't have much to say...I'm sorry :-( This is what is going on. After my hospital stay last week I was pulled out of work. So far it has not been particularly relaxing! My MIL was here for 5 days...I love her and she was very helpful, but it was tiring having a houseguest. My shower was on Saturday and it was beautiful and very emotional for me...also exhausting! On Sunday my Mom, Sister, Niece, Aunt, Cousin came over to our house for breakfast...fun/exhausting. Monday I had a dr appt and ended up there for 3 1/2 hours. NST, dr., more NST, finally they decided to do an u/s. Baby is perfectly fine...just very big LOL. Tuesday cable company here all morning, groceries delivered in the afternoon, phone rang about 1000x. Wednesday back to the dr...nothing new. Thursday car seat installed with police, picked up lawn treatment stuff...finally hit the couch! Yesterday ANOTHER dr appt and NST. Now I have to make some hard decisions. My OB will induce at 39 weeks. However, no one believes that I will make it that far without the pre-eclamsia getting really bad, which would put me into an emergency situation. I don't want that to happen...it really scares me that my baby might be in danger (more likely I would be in danger). So I can take some hot baths and hope that I go into labor spontaneously (ha ha) or we can induce earlier. BUT the only way that my dr will induce is by doing an amnio to make sure that her lung function is okay. If you remember...I had a traumatic experience with the CVS and the thought of an amnio freaks me out. BUT again...this is probably the best option to avoid an emergency. Ugh...why couldn't I just be normal for once??!! We are scheduling the amnio for 4/10 (next FRIDAY!), although if I freak I can cancel it. If the results come back okay, then we can induce on 4/12! I realized last night that if induced on the 12th she would most likely be born early on 4/13, which was the due date from my very 1st pregnancy. What are the odds of that? So I am trying to decide if this is a coming full-circle kind of thing, replacing a sad day with the most happy day, fate thing...or if I should try to schedule a different induction date. Problem with a different date is that my OB will be out of town and I don't know who I would have. See...it was less stressful when I was still at work! LOL

Sorry for the long ramble! I promise to keep you posted on what the decision is, even though I think I know what it is. If I spontaneously go into labor I will text Robyn to update you!

xoxo

Im haning in there. My phone has been ringing off the hook. I will update in a little bit.

**BC-tnahope** · 04-04-2009, 10:33 AM

Heather, Great news!!!! I was told not to concentrate on size but h/b.

zevi, Congrats!!! Will you go in for a BETA?

jpoo, Geez, you have been very busy!! Your little one is going to be in your arms very soon!!!

formerly sam · 04-04-2009, 04:59 PM

I woke up this morning around 1AM to a huge bleed. I just coughed in my sleep and felt a big gush. Lots of blood with clotting. I was really afraid I had lost one or both. Went to ER and turns out I have a subchorionic bleed. Both babies were still there and had strong heartbeats so that was good. Not really sure what this means, how big it was, where it was located etc. The bleeding has mostly tapered off but I guess it could come back. I'm really hoping my dr. will see me on Monday and explain what it going on a little better than the ER doctor.
