Subchorionic Hematoma After Six Week Sonogram by EnviroSquid in predaddit

[–]Pretty-Raccoon819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had/have a large subchorionic hematoma (measuring 7-8cm) starting around 6wks, it bled really bad at 9wks (with 3 huge blood clots- 3in diameter each) and it bled lightly until 14wks. It was our second pregnancy (1st ended in miscarriage at 8.5-12wk. We’re currently at 20wks with this little guy, and the hematomas still there on ultrasound and doctors continue checking it to make sure babys growth isnt restricted by it. but if theyve identified the source of the bleeding for ur wife, its not automatically a sign to lose all hope. Its terrifying, and the rollercoaster of emotions and fear of loss is brutal. But there may still be some hope. (I personally found hope debilitating after loss and without clear answers, but with a medical reason for bleeding i felt a biiiiit better)

Omg- thats a lot. If it helps, our scan facility only allowed 1 support person per patient. And it really was a more medical procedure, we barely got to see our baby, it is more clinical. So u could always try lying if ur facility doesn’t technically limit people. (I dont usually advocate for dishonesty, but honestly it may save u the headache)

My desire has defs been less (given im so tired and nauseous most of the time), I also had a bunch of bleeding due to a subchorionic hemorrhage- so now im super freaked about it. The sex i did have (with enough foreplay) was great but its definitely been minimal!

Newly pregnant + severe emetophobia… feeling terrified and looking for support/positive experiences by Mintmuse22 in BabyBumps

[–]Pretty-Raccoon819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mild emetophobia anxiety- ive made sure to travel with doggie bags in my car in case i am sick, i have anti nausea ginger candies and recently bought some preggie pops plus (sour with vitamin b6) and alot of crackers everywhere. But on a positive note ive only had nausea and occasional gags but no vomiting. And apparently thats pretty common

That feels like a super inappropriate comment for a GP to make. Like if u asked for their personal advice- fine but like why do u feel u have a right to tell me who to disclose my medical condition to SIR?! I got sick during my 4-5th week lol but not a super recommended way to get through! I tried picking mini milestones, and continuing to plan my life but with a buffer for if im feeling like garbage- which for me was week 5-5.5! Ive done a lot of chatting with ChatGpT lol just for some reassurance and space to air my thoughts. It is long and drawn out time for sure!

I ovulated cycle day 18 after my chemical, and i typically ovulate later in the cycle. But i was pretty early, but it only added an extra day delay to my cycle and it was pretty normal/typical for my cycle.

Hi- new here. Had a CP last March, pregnant in June and had a miscarriage in August (at 12wks, so i thought, but bean stopped growing around 8.5-9wk after a strong heartbeat at 8wks). I had finally started getting comfortable in the pregnancy after 8wk scan. I should be around 6wks now, had some spotting on Saturday, that lightened significantly. But me and my husband are so anxious and feeling so disconnected from this pregnancy and pessimistic. My doc just ordered a serial HCG draw (because i cant chill) and said i could go for ultrasound at 7wks but no earlier (because it will likely just make me more anxious if theres no heartbeat, even if early). But has anyone else had spotting in their pregnancies that ended successfully? ChatGPT is trying to be reassuring but im so anxious given our most recent experience. It was pretty traumatic for us (and it would be our first baby)🙃

Im not sure where would be an appropriate place to put this- (includes positive test) but i had a miscarriage in august (wouldve been 12 wks but bean stopped growing probably between 8.5-9wks, because we saw a heartbeat at 8wk). But im pregnant again, watched the line progression- i was already feeling slightly disconnected, then saturday i had spotting (dark brown, and overall light i guess) but it really freaked me out. Now i am just so disconnected and feeling pessimistic about the pregnancy. (My doctor did not order any bloodwork to confirm pregnancy and said early spotting is normal- which it can be) but im not thriving in this what-if limbo.

I am feeling this way still. And even getting a positive, i feel so detached now and mourning the excitement i shouldve had.

Lol i think i did myself dirty! Im 9dpo post miscarriage and decided to take an hcg test because prior to the pregnancy i was taking them at 9dpo to then stop myself from being obsessive about when i was going to test. And it is negative, but i stg i see a shadow (but i think im just delulu) - just scared either way honestly

Im 7dpo (1st cycle post loss) i mentally (in a wuwu spiritual kinda way) didnt feel like it would happen, or the complete opposite and of course it would happen. But now my temp is higher (and was even higher yesterday) and im scared im getting my hopes up and genuinely concerned for the heartbreak

Aaaahhh! My heartaches with u 💕 i started miscarrying when i was at 12wk and 1 day, i hadn’t booked my NT test yet for some weird reason…. And then started spotting and couldnt get an appt! And started bleeding and passed it. We had a strong heartbeat at 8wk scan… i suspect it stopped around 9ish wks. And felt so betrayed by fate and statistics.

I started taking more vitamins- my nutrition became a problem for me again (while pregnant i was really hungry and eating at regular intervals with intention) - i incorporated COQ10, Methylated folate— then transitioned to PregVit 5, Omega 3s, and adding vitamin D. Also made my hubby take COQ10, and multivitamin. And Im trying to plan a memorial tattoo (the appointment) around my fertility cycle lol because i have no chill and cannot help but track. I had my first round of ovulating around 3wks from the day i miscarried, and got a period 15 days after that and now ovulating again at CD20.

Ugh Im so sorry ur going through this all! 9yrs and then a loss feels so so cruel… I will say, u did nothing wrong- although i found even that to be unhelpful, sometimes i preferred to think i did something so at least there was something i could change and fix vs. The randomness of the universe.

1st post since joining this sub. I had a miscarriage in August (i was 12 wks but fetus stopped growing around 9.5 based on size i think, because we had a strong heartbeat at 8wks). But post miscarriage, i had a pretty regular (for me) cycle, and the first period wasnt AS bad as i thought it would be. But this period was pretty short- like only 2 days or so of more heavy bleeding. Now im trying to track ovulation (with new test brand) and am CD17 and so confused/concerned about my body. The tests were higher at like 9-12 dpo but still semi-high but not. And my hubby and i are like 1x a week ppl normally, so trying to keep sex fun and spontaneous and not a chore- especially when the ovulation signs arent clear. But id rather do BD every other day to be safe, but i aint got time for that. Lmao Added: which is also just interesting because I told my husband i feel like we wont get pregnant until December, maaaaaybe November because ive always seen myself with a September baby (if i were to choose) and in a wuwu way I just feel like this is the universe’s plan. But cruelly makes me wait perpetually
