Pregnant after a Loss

Back from my u/s...

...AND I'M STAYING HERE ON PGAL!

image

The u/s went well.  There was definitely a hb and the little bugger was wiggling all around.  Both the hb ad wiggling was pretty trippy to see.  I forgot to ask about the bpm and didn't get to 'hear' the hb...but there was clearly a flicker and clearly movement and proof of life was what I was hoping for today.  Got It!

I've officially been diagnosed as having "an extremely sensitive cervix".  She tried to do a pap.  I warned her I'd bleed (if I know the cause it won't phase me much if I do, used to it I guess...warning was more for her).  As she's doing it she says, "Whoa, you weren't kidding.  You said you had one recently at your civilian doctor...how about we have you get those records sent to us instead."  She says I'm pretty much stuck with it until delivery.  Damn.  Was hoping it might get better.  Wishful thinking, I guess.  So yeah, bracing myself for spotting/bleeding tonight (the u/s was also via vagcam...so I was gonna spot anyways).

I asked questions about the bicornate ute as I'd not really been told anything about it.  Basically she said there aren't really concerns moving forward.  She said with my anatomy the challenge would be getting pregnant.  This is kind of funny to me as I get pregnant pretty easily (50% of the months I've tried)...its staying pregnant that is my challenge. 

I'm sure I'll think of more to add later.  Am kind of short on time now, job interview in a couple hours.  Excuse the quality of the pic, its a picture of a picture.  I'm apparently electronically challenged this afternoon and can't remember how to scan stuff into the right format for tinypic.

  • I forgot to add that they changed my EDD back to the date based on my LMP.  It's now 10/15 again.  I don't really care what it is as I know the little bugger will arrive on its own schedule, but I'll change my siggy to reflect the dates they're going by.  Figure its better to just go with what they're saying so we're all on the same page.  I think its kind of funny its changed back, personally.  Bugger was measuring 11w5d.

    Oh & I really liked the doctor I saw today.  Signed up to see her next appt (May 9th, just a doppler check) too. 

    The NT is Apr 7th at a civilian hospital (tech that does it at my hospital is deployed...gotta love the military for that, lol).  Hopefully DH can go.  I'd really like him too, I think seeing the LO on the screen will make it really real to him.  KWIM?

    Cute pic!! It's amazing to me how different all the profiles look even this early. Congrats!!

    ETA: Why did they do a transvaginal u/s when they know you have a sensitive cervix? You're far enough along for an abdominal. Weird. Oh well, at least you know the spotting isn't worrisome.

    I too have a sensitive cerivx and it's annoying. I spotted after every transvag u/s, but the spotting was brief and with timing always occurring within 24 hours of an exam, my ob was not concerned.

  • YAY!  I am so glad that your LO is alright, and that is a very beautiful picture!!! =)

    I hope you don't spot/bleed too much tonight and that it's all gone by tomorrow.  It sounds like you are developing a pretty good relationship with your doctor, so I hope that she is able to keep up with you and any upcoming questions/concerns you might have in the future.

    Good luck at your job interview this afternoon.  Positive vibes coming your way.

    That's pretty much what I have.  One time it took 2 days for it to show after an u/s.  In every other case, its been within 24 hrs and fades out quickly.  The spotting with this one will likely be pretty good if the blood I saw on what she was trying to sample with is any indication.  I seem to spot with any disturbance down there (u/s, intercourse, even BMs sometimes).  It is what it is, and its totally worth it.  I'm just glad I figured out the cause of the bleeding and it was nothing bad.

    I think it was the only machine they had available at the moment.  I think the abdominal ones were with patients further along than me.  Honestly, the little bit of spotting that comes with the vagcam isn't bad...its the pap that's gonna be the gusher.  I knew I was going to spot anyways with vagcam, so said they could go for it with the pap if they wanted.  I figured worst case they confirm my hypothesis about the sensitive cervix.  Its actually kind of a relief to have an official reason for the bleeding.  I'm ok with the spotting if I know to expect it, and I definitely expect it after the poking around they just did.
