Are any of you ladies having cramps? I have been, on and off, every day for the last couple of weeks or so. They are very mild, like twinges or pulling feelings, and mostly along the sides of my lower abdomen, near the crease of my legs. Is this normal? I've asked my doctor and just gotten the standard, "If it's more painful than your worst ( Read more... )

I think I'd really like being pregnant, if I could go more than a week without getting some kind of bad news. Low progesterone, then slow-rising HCG, lots of bleeding throughout, and now, after last night's 6-hour ER visit, subchorionic hematoma(s) and a gestational sac that is too small?

So I've been wondering:

1) I've gone through the archives and ( Read more... )

So according to my ultrasounds I'm now 15 weeks. 14 weeks 4 days going by LMP.

My baby still has a strong heartbeat (heard it twice yesterday) and everything seems to be going great!

I however keep getting UTIs so they are going to keep me on a preventive antibiotic for the rest of my pregnancy. Lots of yogurt in my future! I've always had problems ( Read more... )

I am 9 weeks and baby is looking great, but they found a subchorionic hemorrhage yesterday. They gave me the talk that it could go either way and I asked about my aspirin. I am on baby aspirin for a miscarriage at 8.5 weeks. I genuinely think it is helping, because I always had a problem with circulation and now that I'm on it, I feel so much ( Read more... )

I'm almost exactly 12wks. I went in for my first-trimester screen (and first ultrasound) today. The tech didn't really say anything out of the ordinary during the ultrasound, but when I met with my midwife, she told me they had found a small hemorrhage, I *think* somewhere in the sack (I really should've been taking notes, but it all went really ( Read more... )

I'm 8w5d and I had an ultrasound yesterday. The baby was fine, but my OB showed me that I have an extra area of fluid next to the amniotic sack. He told me that either my body was preparing for twins early on, or that I have blood built up and I may have some bleeding soon. Twins do run in our family, but the area had no evidence of a second ( Read more... )
