Laney - how are you doing? Haven't heard from you in a while but then again we have all been pretty quiet!
Dory, I hope you are enjoying those newborn cuddles and all is going well. Are you recovering okay from your c/s?
I had my morph scan this morning which went well. It was a bit earlier than planned as I had some brown discharge this morning which FREAKED me out so I rescheduled the appt and got some reassurance. Not sure why the discharge is brown but my cervix is behaving itself at the moment -nice and long over 4cm and closed up tight. The stitch is sitting perfectly too. Bubs is growing well and the songrapher was pretty happy with everything but has made a note for the heart to be double checked again in 2 weeks when I go back for another cervix check just because its still pretty small at this gestation. She could see 4 chambers but just wants the blood flow checked again. So all in all, good news for now. I just wish this brown colour would go away cause it is stressing me a bit
Jo, yay for a great scan hun!! Awesome news. Hun, don't worry about the brown discharge, as you know it's old blood so I wouldn't worry about it. I had a brown discharge around the 13 week mark with Cam and totally freaked out, but the OB said it was most likely a small vessel that popped and nothing to worry about. Sure enough, 2 days later it was gone. Luckily I was due for a visit anyway, so he had a lookie and everything was fine in there. Great news about your nice long cervix hun, at the end of the day bub and cervix is behaving so that's all that counts! Big hugs and I'm sure the discharge will go away soon
jo, congrats on a great scan! I have had brown/pink discharge with every pregnancy (except this one). With Grayson I had it on and off until 35 weeks. I can only imagine how nervous it makes you.
Ellie, if you are still reading I would love to hear how everything is going!
I have been doing okay. I am chugging along. I am starting to have visits from the crazy lady again. I think it is because we are unpacking/washing baby stuff. I can't stop thinking that we wont have a bub to bring home to use it all I am just trying to stay positive. Bub is doing well right now and the weekly scans are helping me to relax a tiny bit.
Hello lovely ladies,
just popping in quickly while my mind is with me. I FINALLY have seen my Ob and he told us why we lost Riley. apparently the placenta had gradually died, He dosn't know why though. He is really upset with the hospital for not telling us why. (they told us they didn't know! ) Also my last bloods said that i have antibodies on my blood type, elevated liver enzime levels, low blood platelets and my blood sugar is elevated! I didn't have any of these with Riley. My god what else could go wrong!! although he said that they were all only slightly elevated etc he just isn't leaving anything to chance, I have more bloods next week, I have to see him every 3 weeks and have an ultrasound every 6 weeks. He also said that he won't let me go to my due date and that he wants to induce me as soon as its safe. I was a bit in shock when i was there and now i'm worried how far along "safe" is! I just hope our little girl is a fighter.
sorry, i just needed to get that out. I'm a bit panicky at the moment
Bec, hang in there lovely. Sounds like this doc will do everything in his power to get bub out safely when it's time. He has a good plan, so that's reassuring. Big hugs hun and keep positive, you'll both be fine
bec, it sounds like your doctor will be watching you and your little girl very closely. I hope that gives you some comfort. Your blood test results show a few possible reasons why the placenta could have aged too early.
