TW: Update

gamilasalem82

So I did get my second opinion today and baby is fine... But I do have a large SCH as I suspected.  I am on bed rest for the time being (at least 2 weeks) and taking duphaston (dydrogesterone) and another injection to try and resolve it.   My RE is not going to be happy we went to someone else (Egyptian pride thing) but I don't think we'll be going back to him after our appointment on Saturday.  I can't handle a doctor who won't even check for the cause of the bleeding (the SCH is quite large and very obvious on US) and makes diagnosis off assumptions.  Its been 5 days since the initial bleeding occurred and he didn't do anything for it, didn't even order bed rest.  5 days we could have been working to resolve it.  I'm frustrated and relieved at the same time.  Just happy to know what is happening, frustrated that pride prevented us from having answers 5 days ago.

I'm so glad that you got a 2nd opinion! FX it resolves quickly.

@burnsmommy27  Unfortunately, bedrest is something I am well accustomed to. With my oldest DD is was 2 weeks starting at 28 weeks, middle DD was 2 months starting at 24 weeks, and my youngest DD was 4 1/2 months starting at 16 weeks. The oldest two were also due to SCH, the youngest had a multitude of problems, including SCH.  It's something we kind of knew might happen again, just were hoping to have a somewhat 'normal' pregnancy this time around.  So much for that lol

@gamilasalem82 wow you have had quit the eventful pregnancies. I can relate, was put on bedrest with DD at 34 weeks. I was aloud on a 30 minute wheel chair push once a day. It was torture.

Here's hoping the rest of your pregnancy will be smooth sailing once this has resolved.

I've been thinking about you so much! So glad to get on here and see your update! Good for you getting the help you needed!

So glad to hear you figured out what was going on! Good for you for getting a second opinion. I wouldn't go back to first doctor either. He should have checked it out more, especially with your history. Hope bed rest is not to bad and that everything resolves soon.

Happy to hear the baby is a-ok and that you finally got some answers!  I don't blame you on second-guessing on whether or not you want to return to your former RE.
