went to er last night for bleeding...

[melimeli]

So I am 26 weeks and had some spotting last night... this has never happened to me in this pg or my 2 others so it kind of freaked me out...  I was there for 4 hours!!  Anyway they hooked me up to see if I had any contractions for about an hour and there was nothing.. they did an internal and she said that she could see some blood but it looked old.  they did an u/s to see if my cervix has shortened and it was at 4 which he said was normal.  The did give me a rogam shot because I am rh-.  The dr. said your are too early in your gestation for unexplained bleeding so no more gym and take it easy (there goes my attempt at not gaining weight... and I went 5 times this week! haha)  They said spotting in your first and early second trimesters is normal but after that they begin to worry.  So who knows what happened.  Anyway just thought I would let you all know... hope all is well with your babies!

Man, what a scare!  Take care of yourself.

I'm an exercise fanatic but have tried so long and hard for this baby I'm not taking any chances.  It stinks not excersing, but it took me less than 3 months to lose the 40 pounds I gained with DD.  I even lost 5 more on top of that I think due to breast feeding.

There will be plenty of time to get back in shape.

Take care of yourself.

P.S.  I also went into pre-term labor with DD at around 30 weeks after working and running around too hard at a conference.

Oh gosh isn't it the scariest thing.......I'm glad nothing terrible is wrong though.....take it easy and just relax I know it's all gonna be ok.

Gosh, I don't get on here all weekend and come back to all new things! I sure am glad you are doing better now!! Sweet Dh's are so nice aren't they!! Mine is like "Oh, I'll get that, Oh, Don't pick that up, Don't move that, That's too heavy, here let me get it.. blah blah blah.. but there are times when I'm like THANK YOU HONEY!!!!

Glad you are doing better, and remember to take it easy!! Who cares about the weight right now, you are pregnant! If you can't exercise just make sure you stick to a sensible diet and you should be fine!

Have you BD lately? I have spotted a couple times up to 3 days after BD. My dr. said it still could be up to 4-5 days after bd to see spotting. VERY SCARY, at least you got checked and everything is fine.

Take care of your little one, and let your DH pamper you! It sound like you're really weight conscious, so I'm sure you'll take the weight off :0)

I lost 15lbs in just the first couple weeks with my son with NO effort --I didn't exercise a lick! How much have you gained? Wow 26 weeks! Sorry to hear about your scare, but you're getting there!!!

well no bleeding today.. the placenta is in an ok place...  She moves around like crazy so I guess that is the most important thing.. it is cute now though cuz my dh doesn´t let me do anything now... he even offered to bring me breakfast in bed haha... guess I´ll milk it ;)

I bled at 7 months w/my 1st pregnancy.  I was so scared - what did they say about the position of the placenta?  Mine was normal and the bleeding was never explained so I chalked it up to irritated engorged cervix - I'm such a good doctor!  Keep us posted - I'm sure everything's going to be okay!!

I fill ya girl... I worked out last night way more then the norm... and omg.. my hootchy hurts soooo bad today. fills like a bruse. or I pulled a ligament..lol I cant understand it. but there is a constant ach and my walking isnt as easy today.
I wont be doing that again!  I have done nothing today but layed around. didnt even go to church. and that just makes me fill worse. I guess here on out theres going to be better days than others. oh... I fill sooo old today and achey... I hope im not getting sick.
Carolyn had some mild bleeding too, maybe you can email her and asked what her dr said about it. It doesnt sound like the er gave you an answer about the old blood... Good luck...

Oh, Mel.. that would be so scary... i'm everything checked out okay.. you take care of yourself and don't worry about the weight gain.. you can care of that afterwards.  I don't have a scale so I can't tell you how much weight I have lost in the two weeks since Jacobs birth, but I know I must have had A LOT of water weight because I can tell a huge difference already in my legs, face and everywhere really.  So don't worry.. eat healthy and worry about getting back to your original size afterwards.  

I mean it now!!  Hannah
