aw- my trip to emerg.( all ok)

[hollyberry]

Man oh man, what a day. So to start off I woke up and decided to have some fun with MH I have put myself on pelvic rest, but decided we could have some fun at least. Afterwards I went to the bathroom and I was bleeding. Cue panic!!! Bleeding all because I was randy. Anyway instead of Mh making my favourite breakfast we went to the hospital. After a long wait- why do they do that, scans barely take any time at all. Anyway finally a scan and both babies are ok, but I am now on real pelvic rest and actual bed rest for at least 24 hours after the bleeding stops. The scan showed that one of the placentas is resting on my cervex so thats the reason for the bleeding, it has since turned brown, I have no doubt I irritated it by getting aroused. I am glad that the babies are ok, and there is actually a reason for it all. But man oh man. Pregnancy is stressful!

I hope you all are ok from the snow storm.

I'm glad you and the babies are ok! So scary!

Ugh, sorry this happened, but so glad to hear babies are ok.

We were taken off pelvic rest at my 7w ultrasound, but still haven't done anything (I'll be 11w tomorrow). The one time I helped myself I had spotting and freaked out. (Plus I'm still on supps 3x a day and that sort of grosses me out). Poor MH. All that to say, you are not alone on the no sex train. Did they say how long you needed to be on pelvis rest?

[gratefulgirl]

Sorry for the low lying placenta scare. Glad all is well and you have answers and a (sort of) solution!

Nope I have no idea how long. I have to call my dr. Tomorrow but I assume as long as my placenta is in the same spot no sex, or helping myself. Glad to hear I am not the only one in this spot at least. Misery loves company. I am sorry ypu have to deal with it.

[shamrockshimmy]

Scary! Glad everything is ok

[foxxytwt]

I'm so sorry, that is scary! I had placenta previa with DS and the placenta moved north about 28 weeks, which is very common. I'm glad everything is ok!

[hollyberry]

I am just so relieved that after 2 losses, one in which I bled for most of it with no reason, I have a real reason as to whats going on in there. Its super scary but having a cause helps my pgal brain.

Thanks for the support guys!

[jamjoyful]

Glad everything is okay! Sorry about the pelvic rest. What a drag!!

[lennonkdc]

Glad everything is ok!

[youdontsay]

So scary but I'm glad everything is okay!

[hrushka]

Yikes, glad you're ok! I'm on pelvic rest too. My RE didn't exactly give us an end date, but I told DH nothing's going in there until second tri.

[dc2london]

That must have been scary, I'm so sorry. Thank goodness you and babies are all ok!

[dorkusmalorkus]

What a day! Glad you're all ok!

[steph]

Ugh, so sorry you're dealing with this but I'm so happy you and the babes are okay!

[Rama]

That's terrifying. Glad there was a reason and everything's okay, though!

[roofusdoofus]

So scary, so glad you're ok!

[agpjt413]

So sorry you went through such a scare hollyberry!! So glad that you and the twins are ok. Rest up mama!

[kaitkat]

Hugs!! Glad you are ok! I'm on pelvic rest over here to

[shehulk723]

Glad everyone is ok!

[hollyberry]

foxxytwt, were you given any other "rules" to follow when you had it. Were you on bed rest or could you function as normal? The dr didn't say much about it really but that was just the hospital ob, I imagine my dr will have more to say, I just dont kow much about it , I am afraid to google since I may get some bad stories and I dont want that.

[foxxytwt]

I was lucky to avoid bed rest, but was on pelvic rest until it cleared. I was also told not to lift anything over 15 lbs. I had us every 4 weeks until it cleared, which I was told the majority of them do. I was also told to prepare for a cs in case it didn't clear and to call at any sign of bleeding. Please feel free to ask me anything! I agree Google is never a good option!! But all in all if there was a complication to have this was one of the better ones to have in my experience.

[catlady22]

Scary! Glad everything is ok.

[hollyberry]

foxxytwt, ya I caved and googled, when I shouldn't have. But I know the scary part is always just the extreme, so I am trying to ignore it. It seems as though it is not really uncommon. And I never read anything with regards to it and risks of loss, so that makes me feel better. Did you bleed off and on because of it?

[ameliabird]

Ugh! How scary! I was put on pelvic rest till the end of the 1st trimester and thought about cheating the other day because I was feeling randy too lol. But my better judgement kicked it. So glad that everything is ok with the babies but sorry about the low lying placenta. Hopefully it moves over time.

I googled this morning after my post too. My a14 group had several mamas with it and I've met so many other moms with healthy babies that I never got too scared luckily. I only bleed the first time which caused them to find it, like you. I stayed true to the pelvic rest (which sucks but worth it) and lifting restriction (which was kinda awesome because we moved and I couldn't do anything lol). And never bleed again.

[hollyberry]

foxxytwt, thanks so much, I definitely helps knowing others had the problem too and all was ok!

[foxxytwt]

You're welcome!! Please check in with me anytime!

[copperpoppy]

hollyberry, that's scary but glad all is ok. I've had bleeding with almost every time we have sex. I've asked my doctor and the ultrasound tech who both said the increased blood flow to the area makes it very likely you'll have some bleeding with sex. And I think this early it's really common for the placenta to lie right over the cervix. Not many other places for it to go I guess! It's hard when you're hormonal and want some action.

Was it without penetration that you started bleeding? I had this with my first pregnancy. Any orgasm, even without penetration caused bleeding for me but it cleared up by week 12/13 for me. Hope it does for you too!

[hollyberry]

copperpoppy, ya it was without penitration, which I think scared me the most, since I assumed all would be fine. But so far so good. I seem to be finished spotting now so that helps ease my mind some. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me. It helps so much knowing I am not alone. I am on pelvic rest now and too nervous to try anything, poor MH, at least until my next apointment with my dr on the 18th. And then hopefully things will look differently and I wont be so nervous.
