Second time moms. ? for you

KrazyKat35

This is a really rough question for me to ask cause I don't want to offend anyone, or bring up some back stuff but I think if I don't ask then I won't get any sleep and will stress out worse then I am.

After a trip to the ER last night because of some spotting we discovered that the baby's placenta has slightly torn from my uteran wall, and I am hemrrhaging(Sp) I was just wondering if any of you have gone through this and were still able to carry LO to term, or atleast without losing them (Again I am sorry if I offend anyone, or upset anyone) I was put on bed rest, and to return to my MW ASAP. But I am really just terrified, and stressing out, and the more that I try to calm myself the more I stress. I am a thrid time mom but this has never happened to me.

Thank you so much in advance. And again I am sorry if I have upset anyone.

I might be wrong and way off, but is this placenta abruption? If you know for sure I found this information https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=90ContentID=P02437 about it. You have to scroll down past placenta previa.

I've never experienced this before either, but I hope that helps. I hope you The very best!

I had a slight pull of my placenta with my 2nd and went to the hosp because I had a clump of bloody discharge (sorry TMI) it was because I was lifting things over 25lbs (house cleaning)  so I was told to STOP lifting anything over 10lbs I should be fine and I was able to carry my DD to full term, hehe she was actually born a day past my due date.

I think you will be fine but how did it happen?? and then avoid that for the rest of the preg.

Its actually goin to sound really funny, but I had just put Austin down had crawled back into bed and just simply rolled over when I felt the pop. I went in cause I had started spotting.

Thank you ladies. It really means alot cause I don't post much over here. I will definitaly let you know once I see the doctor.

Sounds like you have a subchorionic hemorrhage which is when blood pools between the placenta and uterine wall. This sometimes causes the placenta to tear away. Subchorionic bleeds are very common. the placenta tearing away from the wall is a less common complication but it doesn't always mean your pregnancy is doomed. Most SCH heal on their own in a few weeks and the the placenta can reattach. Did they mention the size of your hemorrhage?

 

Edit: I wanted to add that I do not have personal experience with the placenta detaching, but I do currently have a fairly large hemorrhage, Ive had it for almost a month with lots of bleeding/spotting (and we are still here and doing great!) I've researched subchronic hemorrhages a lot since I was diagnosed  with one, thats where I got my above information.

don't have any advice, but wanted to say I hope everything turns out OK.

This happened to me with my 2nd pregnancy. At 10 weeks, I started hemorrhaging. The doctors discovered an sch, with a partial abruption. About 25 percent of the placenta had torn away from the uterine wall. I bled daily from 10 weeks to over 30. I was on modified bed test, no easy thing with a toddler! I was also on pelvic rest until I stopped spotting at 34 weeks.

It was scary, not going to lie. I saw my regular doc along with an mfm.

But DD is perfect! No issues with her. She was never in distress, no preterm labor or water breaking. Delivery was a dream.

I know how freaked out and uncertain you must feel. If you ever want to talk or vent, pm me, ok?

Thank you! I am very scared. I feel like if I do lose the baby then it is my bodies fault not the baby. For being 10weeks the baby is healthy, and doing great. So I kinda feel like this is my fault in some way.

Again thank you. It makes me feel like we can still get through this and not lose this LO.

It is definitely not your fault! These things are almost always freak accidents. According to my mfm, they think it is just something goofy that happens when the placenta originally attaches, like it is just weaker in one area. But your body did not fail, although I know where that feeling comes from.

I think the thing that comforted me the most was when my mfm said that the most dangerous part, the original tear and bleed, was already over. That was the greatest risk to the baby, and lo came through it with flying colors!

When do you go back to the doctor?

I have two different friends this happened to. Both carried their babies to near term. I think they delivered around 36-37 weeks but Im not sure. But both have perfectly happy and healthy little kids now.

It seems like you have gotten good advice from people already, and I don'thave any additional advice, but I wanted to say that you don't have to apologize for asking this question! Your post is totally appropriate, and you have every right to ask for support and advice.

You'll be in my thoughts.

When I spoke to the nurse today she told me to follow up with my MW at my regular appointment next month unless things get worse. I am sadly bleeding again,nothing to major just the same thing that sent me in to the ER last night, just a little spotting, and the werid thing is that I am getting really light headed, and seeing stars. I am goin to be calling the doctor again tomorrow to find out what they think and want me to do if it gets worse tonight I will return to the ER.
