Huge Spotting (kinda graphic)
A few weeks ago, we found out that I am pregnant again (have one baby aged
nine months) Last Saturday and then on Monday, I spotted a little as I did with the first one. Went to the doctor and went for a fetal life ultra sound. That night, there was a huge amount of blood and a balloon like object (looked like a deflated balloon) also passed. I won't go into the insanity that was the trip to the ER... lets just say it was a wasted trip because they told us nothing in the end... another fetal life ultra sound today has the heart beating and the little guy swimming around like crazy (I am at about nine weeks) Has anyone else had this? I was sure it was a miscarriage... no cramping mind you but still... -- ..oO rach Oo. |

Sorry for jumping on this thread ... but that's really heartening to hear that Jamie, A friend of mine has had repeated *heavy* bleeding with her current pg, but all is still OK at 25 weeks ... she's had heavy bleeding so many times now that each time she was sure she'd m/c. Apparently placenta previa with other complications, but her little baby girl is still holding her own. Her Ob expects her to go into labour by 30 weeks, and she'll need a c-section and probably a hysterectomy at the same time. Amanda |

Hi Rach
Yes I had similar with Joanna but I also had cramping but she was born healthy 5 days before her EDD, just take it easy if you can ".oO rach Oo." wrote in message ...

It was blood coloured. Thanks for the hugs. I really need them lately. The
whole production was insane... no one seemed to care that we were sure we'd lost the baby and it's difficult to get ****y with the nurses and doctors or technicians because they could just shuffle you down to the bottom of the pile. -- ..oO rach Oo.

I'm not sure that they don't care, it's just that there is nothing they can
do if you had lost the baby, or were in the process of losing the baby. Doctors tend to be very cut and dried, and don't always have the best beside manner, especially in the ER. AS far as they were concerned, your life wasn't in danger, so they needed to move on to other more urgent cases. Sending more hugs your way. I really hope that this is the end of your bleeding episodes, or you find out something like a partial previa, which would explain them. Hugs, Jamie ..oO rach Oo. wrote: It was blood coloured.

Sorry for jumping on this thread ... but that's really heartening to hear
that Jamie, A friend of mine has had repeated *heavy* bleeding with her current pg, but all is still OK at 25 weeks ... she's had heavy bleeding so many times now that each time she was sure she'd m/c. Apparently placenta previa with other complications, but her little baby girl is still holding her own. Her Ob expects her to go into labour by 30 weeks, and she'll need a c-section and probably a hysterectomy at the same time. how awful, however if it is just placenta previa that is the problem, I think there may be hope, clearly she's going to need a c-section and yes, there is a risk of it being early, but whilst hysterectomy is a much higher risk with placenta previa, I don't think it's particularly huge either, unless there is further complications such as placenta accreta or percreta. For you friend, I hope she trusts this OB, that in theatre s/he will do everything possible to save her uterus, and if she doesn't trust that then to find another one, you might find this http://www.birthdiaries.com/diary/birth062/ interesting, ok, so not the same bleeding issues earlier on, but a pretty frank discussion of the risks and the OB admitting he was not comfortable and passing the case on, with a complex and risky case you want the best, even if you have to fight for it. There are multiple techniques before resorting to hysterectomy and all OBs are proficient at all of them. (((hugs))) to your friend Anne |

Thanks for your kind thoughts - I'll pass them on Amanda |

It happened to me and was pretty unnerving but I also know a lot of other people it has happened to. The balloon like object sounds weird though and makes me wonder whether it was a twin though I would have thought you would have had cramping with that. |
