I had to go to the emergency room after feeling some pain in my side and lower back. We were fearing miscarriage since of 3 pregnancies I've had 1 live birth and she is almost 8. My initial blood work a week ago said my hcg level at around 5000. At the er lab results showed levels above 17000 which seemed to be a good sign of viability. My regular dr had figured me to be in the 6 to 8 week range but after the lab results in er they sent me to a better hospital for ultrasound. The untrasound measured me to be 5 weeks 6 days and showed a sac but they couldn't see anything in it. They also spotted multiple what she called "bleeds" in the uterus. They put me on bedrest and said its a 50/50 chance of m/c. Stressing out and not sure what to expect. Anyone else been through this?
C.,
I'm truly sorry you are experiencing this. Stress isn't going to help you. You need to breathe and relax.
I know. Easier said than done since I've had 3 miscarriages myself.
Please breathe. Know there is NOTHING you can do but listen to the doctor. Keep your blood pressure low, stress low and breathe...
Good luck!
I'm sorry. I've never experienced this.
I would follow the doctors orders and stay as calm as possible. Classical music might help relax you. I don't know. I'm really sorry! I hope everything works out for you!
I am sorry you're dealing with this. I had 5 miscarriages so I know your uneasiness. If you can, try to read, listen to music or do anything to keep you from analyzing every ache you feel. I was on bed rest from the 7th week until I delivered my daughter. It was a long haul, scary at times and worth every second.
I know right now you're in a waiting time. Know that the 50/50 means you could equally be okay and not miscarry.
I wish I had more wisdom. You are doing everything your doctor has recommended so you're doing your best to provide for this pregnancy. Hugs to you. I know this is so difficult.
I will tell you I went to the hospital knowing I was losing our daughter. There was a blood clot in the uterus (that's how they discovered I had antiphospholipid syndrome which contributed to my 5). I was bleeding worse than a miscarriage and they kept me a week. I went home and on bedrest and very complicated medical car. I carried my daughter to almost term. She graduates next month. So things can look pretty discouraging and turn around. I pray that happens for you as well.
Feel free to pm me if you want. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Hi C.,
You have my thoughts and prayers.
go to amazon and search for guided meditation for pregnancy cds. most guided meditation is done seated but I'm sure if you listen to it while in bed it will still help you relax and ease your mind.
Namaste. S.
Sending prayers and hugs your way!!
So sorry. That has to be a tremendous stress. Please relax and take care of you. Good thoughts and prayers coming your way!
