Had My Ob App. Today And I Am a Bit Concerned! Posted: 07-11-07 10:31am
Well I went to see my OB today and well I
am a bit concerned. First of all I have
had brown spotting off and on since I
became pregnant in March. I had an
ultrasound done at 8wks but at that time I
was seeing my family doctor and she didn't
tell me that my placenta had a small
rupture from implantation. She had said
that the bleeding was just unexplainable.
So now my OB says that that is why I have
been bleeding and cramping this whole
time.
Secondly he tried to hear the heartbeat
but all he could hear was the blood supply
to the placenta. He said that is was nice
and strong, but still I am a bit concerned
that he couldn't hear it. He tried to
reassure me that everything seems fine and
that my uterus is measuring fine but he
ordered an ultrasound for next week to
make sure the baby is okay.
Lastly, my family doctor gave me an edd of
Dec.13th based on my ultrasound at 8wks.
However my OB said that the baby was
measuring only 6.5 wks at that time. So
today I thought that I was 17wks and 6
days but actually I am 16wks and 1day so
know my due date is
......................................Dec.
25th yes that's right Christmas Day!!!!
I was a bit disappointed about that
because who wants to be in the hospital at
Christmas time, especially when you have
two other children at home. But he told me
that we would see what we could do about
that when the time comes. Hopefully he
will induce me earlier considering I was
induced for my first two.
So I am praying that my little baba is
fine right now I am just a bit worried
because to me if I had that rupture so
early than why am I still bleeding and
cramping now. Plus it seems that the
cramping is worse. I don't know maybe I am
just analyzing it too much.

Just wanted to let you know that I had an
ultrasound and it didn't have a good
outcome. I went there thinking that I was
16wks pregnant but only to find out that
there wasn't a heartbeat and that the baby
died at 9wks. So I think that the hardest
part is that I how do I go from thinking
that I am almost half way through my
pregnancy to all of a sudden having to
take some pills to end it.
I know that there are a lot of women who
go through this but I never thought that
in a million years that this would happen
to me.especially this way. I think that if
I would have found out 6 wks ago it would
still have been hard but it would have
been a little easier to deal with.
Earlier today when I met with my Ob he
said that my uterus was measuring right on
for 16 wks, so once I found out that the
pregnancy wasn't viable anymore I asked
him why am I measuring this way and he
said that my uterus is probably filled
with blood. This whole time I have been
rubbing my belly thinking that I am
connecting with my baby. Also I swear that
I actually felt movements. (Ihave had two
kids before so I have felt it before) But
I guess that this is mother nature's way
of playing a real cruel joke on me.
Anyways if there is anyone who has taken
the pills to help the miscarriage along
please let me know a little of what to
expect.
