Well, had another OB appointment this morning. Got to see a senior doc this time and that was great, especially after such a shit week last week.
Did a scan and bub is great with it's little heart still fluttering away and doing somersaults inside me! All that was great, but then he spotted what he said looks to be a minor detachment of the placenta from the uterus. Well, this is of course not what I want to hear. He checks the cervix which is still nicely closed and still 3.5cm or so long. And THEN when he was taking a swab, there was a gush of bleeding and fluid which he says shouldn't be happening. He seems to think there is blood being forced from this detachment in the placenta or something?? Anyway, the low lying placenta isn't a worry too much at this stage but hopefully it moves up and out of the way of the cervix as the uterus grows. But if the placenta keeps coming away from the uterus it will lead to preterm labour. So I'm on to weekly visits now with the OB and Dr F says that I now also am only to see senior specialists and no junior ones to ensure nothing is missed. So essentially my cervix is ok which is great, but I need to do lots of resting and taking it easy to ensure my poor placenta holds up and lasts the distance..... anyway, don't feel like writing more at the moment. Feeling pretty f&cking flat to be honest....

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry... Catch phrase of the century but it just isn't fair. I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now and there is nothing that I can say or do that will make it better for you. Just know that I care and wish to the bottom of my heart that you'll be able to take this bub all the way. xxx
