Pregnant after a Loss

AW: I have been stuffed in a blanket fort the last few months....

So I feel horrible that I have been MIA lately, and I had a lot of people wondering where the hell I was, so I figured I would do one big update....

We have been having so much going on and 2 pretty significant 2nd trimester scares... which in turn has led me to hunker down in a blanket fort, where I cry and rock myself to sanity...

At 10 weeks after stopping progesterone, we had spotting... they weren't too concerned with anything and figured it was the hormone shift, told me to pelvic rest it for a week and so on... 
We had our NT scan at 12 weeks, all looked well... sigh of relief.
Then, at 16 weeks, I had some pretty significant spotting. The doctors wanted me in immediately for doppler check and if needed ultrasound. We found the heartbeat right away, but they were still concerned about the spotting. It was attributed to stress and lifting unruly children at work... the spotting was only for about an hour, doctors weren't too concerned, I was able to move passed that scare as well...
Then Saturday while out of town at 18 weeks, I had some more spotting. After calling the on call doctor, he requested that I go in for some monitoring due to my past, while there, long story short, the doctor was a douchecanoe and kept telling me I was most likely going to miscarry and responded with "fair enough" when I told him about my 2 losses and surgery. Anyway, he did a super rough pelvic and cervical check (which later caused me to bleed) then sent me off for an ultrasound that they would NOT let my husband go back with me on. I was a sobbing wreck, he was a wreck and it was just an emotional mind fluck.

All was well with baby, everything looked great and the spotting they think was attributed to bacterial vaginosis, which they now have me on antibiotics for... I followed up with my OB once I was back in town and after reading the U/S summary and knowing the bleeding has stopped, she was ok with keeping my appointment next Wednesday so they can make sure the BV is taken care of.

PHEW, so that is my story, and where I have been. I hate being so sparse, but I have just been so emotionally exhausted with all these doctor/ER visits and scares. 

I hope you guys will forgive me!... 

I brought yummy things for you!

Re: AW: I have been stuffed in a blanket fort the last few months....

  • Hey lady.

    Sounds like you had an awful doctor experience. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I wonder why they were messing with your cervix at all. You want me to go over there and punch them in the face, cause I will!

    I'm glad you're being treated for your infection, that is an important thing. I'll sit next to you in the blanket fort as long as you're okay with a diabetic friend with an incompetent cervix and potential pre-e. ;)

  • ((((Hugs)))) for you. I'm guessing ER visit for that fabulous bedside manner, eh? Every pg woman that comes in with a pg related problem gets "threatened miscarriage/ threatened abortion" diagnosis. When I went in last time, they did an u/s found hb no problem and made sure I knew that that didn't mean I was in the clear.... arrrghhh! I am so sorry your husband wasn't with you- that's messed up!

    And I am glad all looks good so far to your actual OB.... :-) thinking of you!
