Hi everyone! I'm at 12 weeks tomorrow. Just got back from my NT test. All odds were on our side. Risk of DS was really low. The hematoma decreased percentage wise, but still bigger than we thought. And the other cause for concern is that the placenta is covering the cervix (placenta previa?), but I guess that it isn't uncommon for it to move into a better positions In time, so well look into it again in 4 weeks. This could also be a reason for my bleeding, in addition to the hematoma. Little tater was doing well through it all, saw its heart, arms, legs, bladder, and stomach. Crazy. We're going to do our best not to have any emergency visits for the next month!!

Pumpkin- I so hope tomorrow works out better for you! And thanks for he warning, I def had to skip some of your more gruesome details!

I'm with Jin, the vitamix is the best. Use it almost daily. Best appliance we ever got!!

Hope you all have a peaceful and uneventful night!
Welcome raspberry, welcome plum! Hope your pregnancies stay uneventful! And Jin, peanut, also remember that we get to keep our full healthcare benefits-phew.....

Plum, I'm getting the NT test, which is not very invasive, but should help with think like the trisomy series. I don't know if I'll get any future tests done.

And poppy - thanks for the unisom advice- huge help!

And pumpkin, thanks for the feedback. I think at some point we should make lists of what we don't need! Okay, I'm exhausted already. I hope everyone has a good night !!
Hi all! Hope y'all are dong better, poppy and pumpkin. Sounds like you've had eventful weekends. Nugget, I'm so jealous of your energy! And probably your space. We live in a tiny one bedroom. Going to have to put the piano in storage to make room for a crib. It's only for a year- I mean, babies are so small- they can't take up that much room, right? I know, I'm probably crazy!!

I had an eventful weekend too, unfortunately. Woke up on sat morning to a brand new bleed - the subchorionic hematoma was back. We were convinced we were about to lose baby. But, went to ER and to doc and baby seems got be doing well- much better than I am at least. She even did a little somersaultto say hi tous!!

But I'm back to taking it easy. I feel like my muscle tone is deteriorating, and all this modified bed rest is depressing. Oh, and I have a cold,so with every cough,I'm convinced im making the bleeds worse!! I guess we'll ever know what can happen, but I don't wish this on anyone.

Pumpkin- I think you suggested it, the unisom has been a life saver!!

Ok, next week is the nt scan- wish us luck. I hope we all have good nights!
Maybe she meant it like, you don't look like you've gained much weight, you probably don't need them yet. Does that make sense? Like maybe she wasn't being snarky in the sense you thought she was being snarky, but more like, can't believe you spent money on that when you don't need it yet. Either way, not really her business, but one connotation is much different than the other.
Hi all! Hope you are well and enjoyed the lovely weekend weather!

I couldn't fall asleep at all last night. I was so worried about trying to drive into work that exhausted that I stayed home. I feel kind of bad about about it. I napped for a couple of hours this morning, but am trying to stay awake just so I can sort of force a good nights sleep tonight. Poppy, I think if it happens again, I'll be all about the unisom!

Pepita, pumpkin, I'm doing my best to stay in my clothes.but the bloating is making it tough. I didn't get out of my pajamas all day.

So..this may be too much info, but its a reminder of something that happened a few hours before my mc, some light pink tinge on the toilet paper after peeing. Happened again today. But so light. I had some really really mild cramping. Like Jin, my appointment seems forever away, but I know at ten weeks there's nothing that can be done, and I'm just hoping for the best. I think too, that I'm just hypersensitive to anything right now.

My nausea seems to have improved a little. I havent been all that hungry, but sometimes the hunger seems to hit me out of nowhere.

Anyway, sorry this is kind of depressing. Even with all these thoughts , I'm still positive. After all, it was just on Friday that we saw our little one and everything looked great with it.
I had another sonogram today too- right on track, 9 wks 4 days. Relieved since I had bleeding too.

Pumpkin, I'm with you all the way on the nausea. I can hardly stand it. No vomiting yet. I can't- I hate vomiting. The exhaustion is getting a little more manageable. Getting used to being wide awake at 430 am, and wanting to pass out at 8 pm. The worst is the cloudy head, I can't think straight- any tips on making it through the work day with a functioning brain?
I'm in the same boat - still in the first tri. Have had 4 US already. It adds to the exhaustion I already feel......
Hi October moms! I hope you don't mind my crashing your thread. Due Oct 8th here w/ our first. I'm 32, and my husband and I also live in Logan circle. I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks last year and was heartbroken, and I have a sub chorionic hematoma this time, so this baby has had about 4 sonograms and I'm not even 9 weeks- so I understand your anxiety, jin! I have high hopes for all of us!

Jin, I have begun looking at childcare here too, and I'm on the furlough list as well. Would love to chat about a potential nanny share! I'll pm you!
