Bleeding And Passing Clots At 20 Weeks Posted: 08-31-06 09:35am
I was in the er last night because I am 20
weeks pregnant, and currently passing some
good size clots (quarter size) w/ slight
bleeding. My spotting started, off and
on, about a week ago. The day before
yesterday I went in for my normal
scheduled ultrasound, and the baby is
growing fine, has a very strong heartbeat,
and otherwise healthy. He is still fine
at this point even with the bleeding and
passing of clots. He is still moving
around and heartbeat at about 158. My
doctor has put me on bedrest for no less
than 24 hours for now. I have another
doctor's appt tomorrow. Hopefully I can
get somemore info on what is going on. At
this point, no one knows. This is my
fourth pregnancy, first ended in a
miscarriage at 10 weeks (1995), and next
two (1997 and 1999) were the easiest and
most complication free pregnancies anyone
could have. I worked until the day I had
both. I have to admit, this one is so
much different, and I am scared. Everyone
trys to reassure me that sometimes this
happens and the baby turns out to be fine,
but the feeling is so undescribable. I
wish all the other mothers, with
complications and concerns, the best of
luck. I hope this message helps someone.

One Day At a Time Posted: 09-01-06 11:21am
Well, as a response back to myself and to
others that are reading, doctor said that
we just have to take it one day at a time.
The bleeding has gotten better, and no
more clots. Baby still has a wonderful
heartbeat and is still moving around. My
doctor said the bleeding could be from a
lesion inside the cervix, or still there
is that dreaded chance that this is a
miscarriage. Miscarriages at 20 weeks are
rare, but possible. I have no fever, no
nausea, and no cramping. My cervix is in
good condition, and so is the placenta.
I'm pretty much on bedrest for now until
things change drastically for the better.
So, for those of you with concerns and
worries, keep your faith. This can all be
such an emotional rollercoaster. I go
back for a regular check-up on september
20th. Hopefully everything keeps getting
better, and not worse. Fingers stayed
crossed and pray every chance I get.

Going Good Posted: 09-07-06 21:23pm
First, I can say there is still a smile on
my face. I've made it to 21 weeks! The
bleeding has pretty much stopped, and he
is still in there moving around. I still
have no idea why I bled and passed some
significant clots last week? I was
spotting the week before that also. My
mom was wondering if I possibly was
pregnant with twins, and one didn't make
it? All I know is that your body can do
some crazy things while being pregnant,
and that miracles can happen. While this
was going on, I researched getting my own
digital doppler heartbeat monitor. I
found this website called belly beats.
I'm renting one of their monitors for $45
a month, and return shipping is included.
I just received it today, and it looks
brand new. Very pleased with the service
and the product I got. It was so
reassuring to hear my baby's heartbeat
today. It really rested my nerves -
wondering if he was ok every second of the
day. I would recommend it to all those
that are pregnant, especially those that
are having complications. I'm still on a
restricted daily schedule. My doctor has
allowed me to go back to work, but on
light duty. I have a desk job, so it
helps. I want to save up as much leave as
I can to have after the baby is born.
Well, I wanted to keep my status updated.
I plan to keep it this way until the end.
I think it will help someone in a scary
situation simular to mine. Just remember
to stay healthy, happy, and positive.

Sad Ending Posted: 10-02-06 10:50am
As the creator of this forum subject, i'm
sad to say that my son was called to
heaven @ 23 weeks of age. He was born
asleep on september 24, 2006 @ 12:04a.M.
It is still a mystery why this happened?
I should, hopefully, know more on thursday
the 5th, when I go back to the doctors and
get the test results back. Because of
everything that happened, it looks like I
got some type of infection? It still
feels like it happened yesterday, and I
miss him deeply. As a grieving mother,
please don't take your baby, kids, family
for granted. Kiss them all, and tell each
and everyone of them how much you love
them, cause tomorrow is not guaranteed.
