November 2015 Moms

Intro and Worries

Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. Im Becca, Im an Army wife, mommy to a 4 year old rambunctious little boy (a Nov 2010 baby), and 18 months post op Gastric bypass. I just found out last week that I am 7 weeks pregnant. We were trying, but it came as a surprise because I had gallbladder surgery at the end of Feb, which resulted in complications and a week long hospitalization after. I was apparently pregnant (very early so) in the hospital when I was being pumped full of drugs, pain killers, and underwent 4 different procedures in Radiology. When I was released from the hospitaln I bled for 3 days.. so I assumed it was my period.. but the crazy dark line on the pregnancy test and weeks estimator say differently.

To say Im worried about baby is an understatement. The idiots at the Army hospital dont seem to concerned.. but I suppose theres not much I can do either way. Luckily there is a technical college here that does free sonograms, so I have an appointment at 1045 (which Ill be going to alone.. because my husbands unit didnt think it was important) please pray that there is a heartbeat, and that baby looks seemingly ok.

Heres to a crazy couole months ahead!

  • Hi Becca. Welcome to N15. Yea, I can understand why you are worried out of your mind. I really hope things turn out positively for you. When are you able to get an U/S from your regular OB?

    Welcome!! Good vibes for a happy and healthy 9.
  • I know your pain dealing with a military hospital! I absolutely can't stand my hospital. I had a keep while I was pregnant and didn't know it and my doctors don't think it's a big deal either but I'm worried as well! Keep us posted on how things go!! Best of wishes to you!
  • So the US only showed a yolk sac that measured 5w6d instead of the 7w1d my LMP puts me at.. if I count back, that puts me at a conception date when I was 2 days out from the hosptial, and we werent having sex at all.

    On top of that I found out that the military hospital didnt do any pregnancy tests before any of my radiology procedures.. and are already passing the blame on the radiology. Saying they should have ordered pregnancy tests..

    So now I wait till the 20th.. praying that everything continues to grow...
