hopeful but worried

in High-Risk Pregnancy

Hi everyone. I am new to this board. A little background, I am 32, dh 33. We TTC for 5 months before getting our BFP this march. This is the first pregnancy for both of us. My edd is 11/12/13 and i am 15w5d today) I have chronic hypertension which is well controlled with pregnancy safe medication. Also, I am a high risk OB sonographer which has its perks but also means I know way too much. Where to begin.... I went to the Dr and had routine lab work done at about 4 weeks along (the day after I got my bfp) this is where my surprises began. It turns out I had type 2 diabetes, SEVERE. I was started on insulin immediately and told there was a high risk of m/c. At 5 weeks brown spotting began. At 7 weeks, bright red bleeding, with no cramps landed me in the ER. The U/S confirmed the little bean and heartbeat were OK. I was diagnosed with a subchorionic bleed. The spotting lasted for about 10 days and then nothing for 2 weeks. I was sure it had resolved and would be smooth sailing. NOPE! at 12 weeks I had some bright red spotting, went to the DR, baby looked fine, subchorionic bleed still hanging around. I had my NT scan, which looked good. Then at 13w5d I was standing on a line and felt horrible cramps. about a minute later I felt blood pouring out of me. DH and i rushed to the hospital which i was sure i was miscarrying (this was on mothers day btw). they checked and my cervix was closed (we were both stunned because there was so much blood). Then they got the ultrasound machine and i lost it, i was not ready to see an empty uterus, but there was little bean, swimming around. perfect heart rate. They found a partial placental abruption but were optimistic it would resolve. 48hrs later, another big bleed. back to the er, baby still fine. I was on modified bed rest and pelvic rest for 10 days (still on pelvic rest but back to work now).well i have been passing so many large clots, which they told me to expect. I have not had any red bleeding for 10 days. then this morning i woke up and have had cramps all day, with some bleeding again. I do not wish this on anyone, but sometimes i can't help but feel like why is this happening to me? i just want to enjoy pregnancy and be happy. instead i feel as though i am sitting around, waiting to lose the baby. it is horrible. Dh is so supportive but the anxiety and anticipation is really taking a toll on me emotionally. I am so happy for everyone who is able to enjoy their pregnancy and can actually see a baby at the end of this road. I just hope one day soon I can feel the same joy and excitement.

    A supportive H is the best thing any girl,can have during a pregnancy and even more so for us high risk ladies. It sounds like you have had a rough road and I pray that everything goes good for you. Get some rest and just have faith it will all work out.
