Pregnancy After Miscarraige

[rodriguezequal 3]

I have 2 disorders which cause me to over clot. They say that's what cause the placental abruption with my son. They are hoping the shots will help me carry the baby longer and safer and prevent another abruption. I was more comfortable having seen the baby, but it would have made me feel better to see a heartbeat. Hopefully next time :biggrin:. We're moving to California on the first and then I will be going to a competent OB! lol

Congratulations,

I will pray for your baby. You may want to ice the area before your injection - numbs it, so it doesn't hurt so much. I had a miscarriage and was terrified with my next pregnancy. He is now 23, lol. Take good care of yourself - rest, good nutrition and positive thoughts.

I tried the ice...didn't help too much so today I went to my local drugs store and bought alcohol swabs with Benzocaine in them and it worked AWESOMELY!

I made my mom (she's visiting from CA) do my first shot last night...omg it hurt so much. I am a big baby with needles, but it hurt. I cannot believe I have to do this for 9 or more months (may have to continue a little after baby). The Lovenox are in prefilled syringes so I gon't really have any extra needles, but as long as I have my mom I think I will be okay ...just in pain

Holli, that's a shame about your dislike of needles. That's going to eliminate the possibility of your EVER being able to enjoy Heroin to the fullest. :thumbup:

I'm so glad everything is going well thus far. Take extra care of yourself. Nice to see the little "speck", eh? I remember the first time I saw my son on the Monitor. It was a remarkable experience.

Lol...dang it...I was really hopin to pick up a new habit :thumbup:. I went to the drug store last night and bought a box of alcohol swabs with Benzocaine! It was awesome! I didn't even feel the shot...I did feel the burn of the meds a little later though.

Hi and GOOD LUCK with this pregnancy. I'm glad you got to see the US. You should not have to demand that given your situation. I hope you find a really good doctor in California and that everything is perfect with this baby.

I have had 2MCs in the past year and I'm going to the doc in a few weeks. I am going to order the blood work for Thrombophelia. It seems like a pretty easy test and there are a lot of things you can take (including the shots). I wouldn't have thought to ask about this if I hadn't read your post.

You and your family will be in our prayers.

Thank you so much. Yeah I hate the hospital up here and cannot wait to move! Good luck to you!!! I hope everything gets better for you. I know how heart breaking it can be! Everytime I feel a cramp or a pain in my back I start thinking oh God it's happening again...fingers crossed. I am doing everything I can so if anything does happen I know it is not my fault.

whats up,

glad you found a easier way to get the shoots. im so excited for you that really helps when you see the baby its like its finalized now. honey dont stress your self out wondering about every little pain or cramp you will go crazy. i had a p/abruption at 6.5months and it was heart breaking. also had a still born at 8months and i thought i was gonna die. but, i made it through the next time i got pg i made it up in my mind what ever happens im gonna see it through i know have health bad ass kids :thumbup:. i guess before it wasnt my time. i would like to have another one but, it hasnt happen. guess its not my time. first gotta get me in order.

and it is very important to have a dr that you like. my first dr i didnt like and didnt communicate much with him and it seems like he was not fat friendly:).

so make sure whom ever you get you feel comfortable with them and them with you.

remember to rest as much as possible and eat that is really important no dieting right now. just dont stress gotta get the f--k it attiude for a while it helps :skep:

So last night around 9-10 I started getting really dizzy (worse when I was laying down). I went to Tacoma General Emergency thinking maybe my blood had gotten too thin or something. They started with my blood pressure (which a few times dropped to 99/60) and they were watching my pulse (120-135) They ran some tests (CBC, HCG levels, Urinalisis). My HCG level cam back at almost 13,000. My urine showed a UTI. They pumped me full of fluids and gave me antibiotics and antinausea meds. They sent me home around 5 am. Around 10 am I got up to pee...I now had a brown discharge (TMI I know...kinda like old period blood) and bad lower back pain. They decided to do an ultrasound and a pelvic exam. So The ultrasound took quite a while and the tech said ok I'll be right back...here watch this, 111. I was like what! lol So she turned the monitor towards me and on it was a looped video of my baby's heartbeat (for the first time) and it was beating at 111 beats per minute! All I could do was smile. I got back to my room and the doctor came in to do the pelvic. He said baby looks good and there is no blood or anything around the baby. So he did the pelvic and took some swabs of the discharge and told me we would know if there was an infection in a few days...he said he didn't think so because there wasn't pain in the area, just the back. So I am home. I am not allowed to do any physical activity or sex...lol. So I am in bed relaxing under a nice fan...drinkin ice Water :smile2: It felt so so good to see a heartbeat! Anyways, I just wanted to update you all

What a wonderful result to such a scary situation! You must be over the moon with seeing your baby's heartbeat! I'm so excited for you! Hopefully they can figure out what's going on with you. Take care and keep us updated.

Oh Rod what a blessing! I am praying for you and your baby. You have a lot ahead of you in the next few weeks with the move and all. Just take it extremely slow and easy. Keep us posted Hon.

[rodriguezequal 3]

Thank you so much. We leave tomorrow for our trip to Cali from Wa so hopefully it will go smoothly. *fingers crossed*.

[Daisalana 33]

Hope the move went well, and you made other people do all the lifting!

[rodriguezequal 3]

The move went okay. I didn't do anything, really. We had to stay at a hotel on the way to Cali because I was hurting and not feeling well. Hopefully I will be able to get a great OB soon down here. I may go to the Urgent Care or ER tomorrow since I am still feeling pretty sick. Now I am having a lot of tightness in my chest with coughing! Grrr...
