Never been so scared

jessican08 · April 2012

DH and I were supposed to fly home to NC from San Francisco tomorrow but it looks like that will be delayed. I started gushing bright red blood this afternoon. Thank God we decided to stay in town today instead of going all the way out to Yosemite like we initially planed. We rushed to the ER which was luckily only 3 minutes away. They did an u/s and both babies looked great, measuring 2 and 3 days ahead and were moving around, thank God. While she was doing the scan I had unbearable pain in my left kidney...so bad it made me throw up and I soaked another sheet in blood....There was so much blood. I was hysterical. They did an u/s of my kidneys too and couldn't find anything. They found a 5 cm SCH in my uterus which is causing the bleeding and apparently there's a small fibroid too. I'm back in our hotel room now but need to go back in tomorrow morning for another u/s with the doctor. Please keep my little ones in your T&Ps if you can spare them. The bleeding seems to have slowed a bit...I'm hoping and praying it stops soon.

I'm so sorry you had such a scary day, I can only imagine how terrifying that was

Sending many T&P's your way that everything gets better and the bleeding stops soon. ((hugs))

You're in my thoughts and prayers. What an awful, terrifying day, but I am so glad the LOs looked fine on the u/s. (((HUGE HUGS)))

Oh my goodness! I hope everything turns out ok (and Yosemite is far, so I'm glad you were near a hospital). I live and work in SF, so if you need anything at all, please let me know! ((hug))

Sorry you had such a scary day. I don't know if you follow the multiples board, but many twin moms experience a big bleed in the first trimester. Mine was at 11 weeks and I went to the ER bleeding heavily but the babies were fine. I then spotted for another month. I'm now 28 weeks and never had any bleeding once the SCH resolved at 15 weeks. Good luck with your recheck!

Omg, how scary. I'm so glad all is ok w the babies. I don't know much about sch, but is that a large one? Do they know what caused the kidney pain? Rest up and feel better! Huge hugs.

That is so scary! Your twins are in my prayers and it is good to hear they are doing alright.

I'm not sure about the size. It was definitely noticeable on the u/s. They were saying they don't know how it could've just formed since my last u/s last Monday. My RE never saw it though..he said he saw no issues...who knows. Thanks for all the T&Ps ladies. I appreciate it so much

Oh no! That's so scary! I'm glad that the babies looked good. Sending lots of T&Ps that everything resolves quickly and your babies continue to grow healthy.

(((HUGS)))

missjul61 · April 2012

Sorry about your ordeal. T&P that the bleeding goes away for good.

naybird · April 2012

Omg how scary!!! Tons of T&P going your way. So glad that everything is ok with the babies.

Take care, and big hugs.

T & P s coming your way. ((Hugs))

How scary! Keep us updated and let us know what happens with your next ultrasound. Praying for those precious babies.

drubie · April 2012

Oh those darn sch's! They cause so many scary, scary situations. Mine was at 6w4d, just as big as your's (though mine finished resorbing without additional bleeding). I had gone in at 6w1d (a Friday) for the hb ultrasound, when nothing was there, had my bleeding on a Monday, and on Tuesday the u/s showed us the hematoma, just as large as the area where the baby was (i.e. way bigger than the baby). It's been totally gone on ultrasound since about 16w, but when I had an MRI at the same time (another long story) they picked up just a teeny amount of it. It seems like SCHs are very common in IVF pregnancies...

ccam · April 2012

Oh no! I hope everything is ok. So happy the babies are looking great!

Ruthie04 · April 2012

Oh my goodness! How scary. I'm so glad the u/s showed your little active babies. Sending lots of positive vibes for a perfect follow up appointment and no more bleeding!

labbylover03 · April 2012

Oh how scary! T&Ps for you and your LOs.

joules12 · April 2012

How scary!!! So glad to hear that the babies are okay. Sending many T&Ps your way that all is well, the bleeding ends soon, and you are back to an uneventful pregnancy (and able to return to the comfort of your own home).

TJ1979 · April 2012

Oh no! How scary that must have been. So glad to hear your LOs looked ok on u/s though. Take it easy, and keep us posted.

It's true. I had one too and my friend who also did IVF said, "yep, we're bleeders!" Greeeat. Mine bled out pretty badly twice, even though it was small. Thankfully it was gone by the end of the first tri and all had been well since.

lovebug33 · April 2012

Praying everything is okay. I had a similar experience and everything turned out okay!

jamielynnohio · April 2012
