So, we've hit one little snag in the pregnancy. I'm hoping it stays little.
I've known for a while that I have placenta previa (aka a low lying placenta). This week, after a bout with a gastro-bug and some personal stress in my family, I had a bit of bleeding.
It's nothing too major. Dark brown, not red. And not a lot, just a heavy spotting.
I'm hoping it was an isolated thing related to my vomiting, but it's complete previa, meaning the placenta covers my entire cervix, so it may not be.
I think the chances of the placenta moving and correcting are getting slimmer by the day. I'm 25 weeks now. A c-section is needed in previa cases. Which stinks, but oh well. Honestly, I'm just so happy to have this baby any way it decides to come into the world.
Hubs' anxiety has been remarkably in check for months. This has sparked something in him though, and he's a worrying, googling mess asking me what was on the toilet paper every single time I go to the washroom.
I sent my little pumpkin to the babysitter for the full week this week so I could take it easy. It's like a mini-vacation. That part of things is kind of awesome, I'm not going to lie. ;)
Parenting after chronic infertility. Our story involves working with CCRM after experiences with diminished ovarian reserve, severe male factor infertility, 4 reproductive endocrinologists, 8 donor embryos, 2 IVFs, 6 FETS, 1 fresh donor egg cycle, 1 failed agency egg donor, 15 vitrified donor eggs, 4 surgeries for her, 1 for him, 3 miscarriages, 1 chemical and 5 canceled cycles. After seven years, one amazing couple set us on a new path by choosing us to be parents for their son.
Sending care and good thoughts! I can imagine why it would spark some anxiety but it sounds like you're keeping fairly calm and the staycation sounds perfect. :) Curious what the doctor recommends or will recommend?
ReplyDeleteRecommended light duty, no intercourse. He thought that the bleeding may have been related to the gastro bug. He said he "liked that explanation". For now, while the staycation is coming to an end I'm going to keep things relaxed and not pick up my little guy.
DeleteSorry for the hiccup but sounds like its under control. And a staycation?? LUCKY!! I am so so pumped for you <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly!
DeleteI had a complete previa that finally moved at 32 weeks (it never moved far enough and I ended up with a C/section, but was able to go to 39 weeks as it wasn't coverning my cervix) Do you know if it is anteror or posterior? An anterior has a higher probability of moving, but posteriors can resolve too! Glad you are taking it easy after the bleeding episode.
ReplyDeleteIt's posterior. Thanks for commenting. Especially appreciate it given your training and experience in this area. Also good to hear yours moved. Now I remember reading this on your blog. I'll go back and revisit those pages again.
DeleteThinking of you! I hope the pregnancy is progressing well!!
ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Cushing’s disease,Heart failure,Multiple Sclerosis,HypertensionFatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Autism,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone ToxicitySyndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresSclerosis,Seizures,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases,,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.
