Medically Managed Pregnancy Chatter #2

[{sarah}]

Hi everyone, just thought we should get this little thread going again.

I'm 9 weeks 3 days today & have been dealing with a subchorionic bleed for almost two weeks now. I've been on full bedrest for a week & today have been given permission to be on light duties, ie no lifting, washing, heavy housework or sex. We' have four BHCG tests & two ultrasounds already & a third ultrasound booked in for next week. At this stage, because the bleed was small, the OB is hopeful that it will have resolved by next week when I have the next ultrasound. I'm not convinced because I am still getting quite significant cramping, the spotting has stopped but cramping continues...

It's all so different to my first two pregnancies but in a way it's a good thing because we lost a pregnancy last year so having the extra monitoring is keeping the anxiety at bay, well mostly.

I'm thinking of hiring a doppler for a few weeks until the bub starts moving, just so I can be sure everything is alright.

Oh & I think we've decided that this is it for us, DH doesn't want me to go through the stress again & I don't want to put my family through this. It hasn't been going on long, but it's all too much.
