Barb_ Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 :o Nervous laughter. After playing phone tag for half of last week, Rich got hold of a work friend who's an OBGyn. Honestly, I think Rich felt awkward because we're using midwives and homebirthing, but this guy was very sensitive and understanding about the whole thing. He's agreed to make some room in his schedule for us in the morning for an ultrasound to look for a hearbeat. He said he's going to treat it like a gyn situation so that he doesn't have to schedule a whole workup and exam, etc which is a huge relief to both of us. The thing is, I almost don't want to know. Isn't that weird? I've pretty well convinced myself that everything is okay..no cramping or spotting for about a week now, and I swear I'm beginning to feel the baby move. Not just the flutters anymore either--a couple of thumps too. So I guess I'm afraid of getting there and discovering I've been imagining it all. Ugh, I'm not going to get much sleep tonight.

gardenschooler Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Get some sleep! We'll be waiting for your update tomorrow. I'm also pretty sure thumps can't be imagined. :001_smile: Maybe you've just got a sleepy baby. I had one like that, and I'd swear I wouldn't feel her kicking for days, but she was. She just wasn't doing somersaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb_ Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just got back from seeing my wiggly baby onscreen :D I was diagnosed with a low-lying placenta and a subchorionic hemorrhage, which sounded horrible but I'm told is pretty common in women with previous pregnancies. There may be more bleeding, but it should resolve itself on its own. We'll check it out again during the last trimester. Thank you everyone for being so kind and letting me talk here. It was so hard not to tell my kids and neighbors of suspicions this past week. It seemed like someone was saying something about the baby every time I turned around. But now I'm glad I kept my mouth shut. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb I don't know why I didn't think of this when you first posted about your bleeding, but I had bleeding early on with my first pregnancy due to placenta previa (low-lying placenta). It also resolved itself on its own, so I didn't need bedrest and I didn't need a C-section either. I'll continue to pray for both of you and I'm so excited to here that the baby is moving around in there. Yah!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
