I am still here...still on bed rest...no new news. I went to my OB today hoping for some additional information but it was a big fat waste of time. They didn't do another US so I have no idea what is going on in there. The heart beat was about 150 today. I am still praying that my baby is growing and doing ok. I have a level 2 US scheduled for next Tuesday. I guess I will keep laying here hoping everything is ok. I am still pretty nauseous and on a limited diet. I'm actually loosing weight on bed rest. I have to assume it's muscle weight. It does freak me out everytime I sneeze or throw up because I am worried about my placenta completely detaching.
I am so frustrated. This is not how I imagined my pregnancy. It's just not fair. I have to worry about the markers for Down Syndrome and worry about the abruption now. I just wish I could enjoy being pregnant for one day with no worries. Sorry for the rant but I just needed to get it out there.
Thank you all for the love and support you have shown me. I really needed it!
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. Those of us who suffer through infertility should at least be rewarded with uncomplicated and easy pregnancies. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. I can only imagine how scared you are.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely praying for you and your little one.
I am so sorry that you are having all of this trouble. This is very unfair. Try and keep your head up. I will be praying for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteOh hun (*HUGS*) It's not fair! I'm thinking of you all so much, and hoping so badly that you get good news soon.

ReplyDelete:(

you are in my prayers. i hate this for you. try to stay strong. i know this is hard. thinking if you often.
ReplyDeleteThe strong heartbeat is a wonderful thing, so be happy for that for the time being. I am so sorry that you have to deal with this - it seems like you've had a rough go of it. I really hope that your appointment next week yields positive results!! HUGS
ReplyDeleteHang in there - it sounds like there are definite positive signs that baby is doing OK. I wish you didn't have to wait so long till your next appointment though.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you every day! I hope Tuesday comes fast and you get some good answers. So sorry you are going through this, sending hugs your way!
ReplyDeleterant away girl, you have every right to. wising you some peace.
ReplyDeleteugh, they couldn't give you an extra u/s just for peace of mind at least? none of this crap is fair. i just hope time flies till your level 2 u/s next week. hang in there, thinking of you :o) xoxo.
ReplyDeletepraying for you & the baby!!
ReplyDeleteWhy could they not give you a quickie u/s?? So mean. And best rest is so tough, I know that! I had a schedule, mostly based on what was on TV, but it did make the days go faster. And I did a lot of online shopping!! Hang in there, the level 2 can't come soon enough.
ReplyDeleteThis is not fair. You waited so long to have this pregnancy!! You are in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you and hope that you get some answers and comfort soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for how difficult this pregnancy has turned out for you.
So sorry you are dealing with this. Do you have a doppler? It may put your mind at ease to use it often. Praying your little one can hang on.
ReplyDeleteHow scary and unfair for you. Sending you many positive thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up on what happened. So sorry to hear this! I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteIt truly isn't fair. Sending so many positive thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could just enjoy a quite and uneventful pregnancy too. Unfair is like the understatment of the year - you really deserve to have things go smoothly!
ReplyDeleteSending MORE hugs and prayers to you and your little one.
I've been thinking of you - I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Sending you all the positive thoughts I have...
ReplyDeleteI have just read a few of your posts, and I am sorry that you have to endure this. My pregnancy was hell, and my baby was born at a bit over a pound. But she's okay and here and that was after being on bedrest nearly the entire pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI learned something about the blood tests. If something is going on with your placenta, then that might show high AFP levels, which might affect your result for Down Syndrome. All of my blood tests were horrible, then the amnio and then microarray tests showed no chromosomal abnormalities. That is when I learned about the placenta causing the results. Maybe ask your doctor about it. (They might not know. I have found OB's to not be nearly ad knowledgable ad perinatologists.
Anyway, my pregnancy was wrought with fear and heartache but I have a tiny miracle on my hands. My blog became private once she was born, but I kept a detailed account of the horror of the pregnancy. Please tell me if you'd like to readit-It's always nice to see a story that turns out well. (She does have issues-but she is healthy and here :)
One more thing...the pregnancy was bad from the beginning with a subchorionic hematoma (which caused the placenta issues we believe) but it really started going downhill at 19 weeks-so last April. I kept her in until 32 weeks.
