Good morning ladies, I'd love it if you could keep my family in your thoughts today...
I woke up last night at 11:30, and when I stood up I was met with a gush of blood and a bright red toilet bowl. I put on undies and a panty liner to track the flow, and while there has been blood on the panty liner, most if the bleeding occurs when I pee. It has slowed a bit now, but is not gone. I called my OB, they are going to get me in for an ultrasound today.
My honest gut feeling is that our baby has passed away, but please keep your FX'ed for us. I will be 12 weeks on Sunday and have had 3 ultrasounds, and have heard the heartbeat multiple times (the last time was just 7 days ago), so this is a real punch in the gut. Thank you so much for any good vibes ❤️❤️❤️
::::UPDATE::::
We got great news this morning! The baby is perfect (no genetic abnormalities, great HR, and my due date was moved up a week). The placenta also looked good. There were no cysts or placenta previa. What my OB thought was a cyst on the placenta wasn't a cyst, it is just a random pool of blood. And the blood pool is over the cervix, not the placenta (the placenta is healthy and higher up on the uterine wall). The blood pool will either get absorbed by my body or will slowly leak out.
I do have to get weekly progesterone shots, starting at 16 weeks, but this is primarily precautionary. My son was technically preterm at 36 weeks and 6 days, coupled with the bleeding, MFM just wants to be extra careful. I am on pelvic rest and a heavy lifting restriction, but otherwise they said they'll just check on the blood pool at my A/S at 18 weeks.
DH and I are so relieved!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for all the T&Ps, you ladies are the greatest ❤️
