EDD 1-10-05
Scary day yesterday. I started spotting brown in the morning. Just on the tp at first and then making it's way onto the pantyliner. I've had two second trimester losses due to placenta abruptions so it has been pretty freaked out.
I went for the works. My Midwife had me come in for an exam and the cervix is closed and the blood is old looking. I went in for an u/s for reassurance and the baby was perfect. A strong 153 h/b, good looking healthy placenta with no signs of abruption or clots, cervix looked nice, long and closed.
The only thing noteworthy was a fibroid that was noticed at a 10 week u/s. Anyone have experience w/ fibroids and pregnancy? I just delivered in Jan and had a dozen or so ultrasounds due a chronic placenta abruption and no fibroid was found then or with any other pregnancy.
I spoke with my Ob after the scan (I use a practice with 3 midwives and one Ob) and he says that the bleeding may be from the fibroid but it's not certain.
This doesn't reassure me because with my early bleeding scans with the two boys neither showed any clots behind the placenta or signs of abruption either.
I go for my second Parvo titre next Friday. I have my regular belly appt scheduled with the midwife then. For those of you that don't know; DH, the baby I babysit and my 6 yr old all contracted 5th disease within the last 3 weeks. My 20 month old had a fever last week but no signs of the rash. I haven't gotten the rash but because its possible to get the virus without the rash I'll redo the blood work to be certain.
Otherwise just having normal pregnancy worries and complaints. I'm exhausted, still naseous, waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep. Hopefully as I make my way further into the second trimester those symptoms will wane.
Health and healing to those that need it.
