FREAKING OUT

Post by stefanie »

HEY GUYS
I started spotting yesterday and have a dull low back ache. he spotting stopped, the back pain is there but I am also constipated at the moment.

I called the OB and am waiting to hear. I am out of town and feel so helpless and frightened.

I am not queasy nor do I have heartburn today. I am afraid I have begun to miscarry. I don't know. even in my mind my boobs are softer but I can't tell.


Too Bee and Amanda _ way to go! I will write more when I am less freaked out.

I stayed home today and am lying around.

AMANDA, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
Enjoy this day...after all we have been through I plaan on enjoying mine as well!!!!! I hope if woman without any symptoms read our previous manic posts an find comfort! Conrats again girl!!!

Stefanie
I know how scarey the bleeding is, I am still going through it since sunday. My RE said that with multiples the risk if bleeding increases. I do hope thats the case with you. How far long are you??? I am sorry I dont recal you saying. YOu need to rest girl. And be drinking fluids. Its crazy that you re away...good lord, I think I wont be traveling for a another month or so....There are a couple resons besides niscarrying I can think of that would cause bleeding, just remind me how far along you are.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes nd hppy thoughts, I cant tell you how much it means to me. I m going to enjoy today but I am fully aware that I still have a few big hurdles to get through, like another US in 2 weeks, and just in general the first trimester. For me getting past the first tri will be a real day for celebration!!!! But today I will relish in being pregant with three beans!!!

I spoke to my RE today about spotting. i was told no sex until first u/s. So I asked now that I can have sex will it cause spotting, from reading other peoples posts. He said....."as the placenta digs in deeper it can cause spotting and this is normal."

I know how scary it can be. I know I would be worried too. Just wanted to let you know what the doc told me this morning. Feel better Hug

My only pregnancy symptom right now is a headache. But I have had a dull headache for days

Hey Stef,
Well Poop already girl!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Have you been pushing so hard that maybe you busted a vessel or two?? :lol: :lol: I persoanlly think that you need to rest today with your feet up and minimum activity. Even though nothing stops a miscarriage for the most part, resting is best for any kind of bleeding so I have been told. I am miscarrige phobic and always paranoid about it, so i am probably the worst person to say much.
I hope your RE calls you soon with a words of comfort and good explnation. I read something like sometimes babies can develop lttle blood filled pockets outside the sac that can cause bleeding but resloves itslef and itsnt generally considered a big deal. I am keeping posisitve thoughts for you.......I know its scarey and must be worse since youcant pop into see your RE

amanda and too bee

I just pooped - that was today's low back stuff. wow. (i'm traveliing and it's been hard to regulate, ya know?)

I'm feeling better.

sex? I haven't and won't have sex until we hit second trimester and your DHs will love this.... my OB said that w/ twins she stops sex at 20 weeks to avoid ANY preterm labor. I just looked over at my DH and LAUGHED.

Keep postivie thoughts for me I'm definitely taking it easy. Thanks for responding so quickly. you have no idea. I feel so alone down here in DC. Can't wait to get back to NYC on monday.

Stefanie

Glad you are feeling a little better. :)

Stops at 20 weeks eh. I think that is harder for the DH's than us girls :)

I asked and my RE said it was safe, so I think it will be ok.

I am bored now. Been taking it easy for weeks, and now I have been on call at work, so I don;t even have to go in.

Too much time on my hands :)

Amanda~ HOORAYYYYY for another set of twins!!! That's fantastic news. You must be on cloud nine. Enjoy every minute of it!
Not bad that you are on call as it will give you more time to rest.

Stefanie~ I'm sorry about the bleeding, nothing more freaking for sure. Try to rest as much as possible. As I've read, brown spotting is ok. You don't want to see red blood and a lot of it. I'm not sure that any words can be reassuring now. You just want it to stop.
I'm taking Prenate Elite as a vitamin. It has a stool softener in it. Well, for me it helps me too much and have to take one every other day otherwise, there wouldn't be much left of me. On the other days, I take a regular prenatal. You might be away from home but you have us and we'll support you all we can. Hang in there...the babies looked great on Mon. I'm sure everything is just fine. The symptoms can come and go and not be an indication of an miscarriage.
You are in my thoughts and hope you feel better soon.

I'm doing pretty well...still waiting and waiting...Is it Thursday already????
I'm burping, eating, taking naps and talking to my bean.
It's crazy to say but I almost wish I had MS as that would be a great indication that things are ok. I don't think I would be this hungry if I was not carrying a little one.

Renee~ Great news on your fertilization report. I hope they just keep dividing away. On my first cycle, I had 3 eggs and 2 embies...sounds like what you're having. Next is your BFP!!

SueQiwi~Any news about you? I'm glad you're feeling like the ovaries are working...a dozen eggs takes a lot of energy. I hope you get to feel better soon. Let us know about your E2 and US.

Turtles~ Sounds like you're doing well. When I don't eat on time, I burp even more, maybe that my version of MS. I don't know. I just ate something and I feel like I'm starving.

Chris~ I'm glad you're doing well and looking forward to your next cycle. I can feel the good energy in you!!! Keep it up!

Not the best day here either as far as weather but it's actually relaxing not to see the sun, and besides that it reminds me of Belgium.

Lots of hugs and love,
