My pregnancy with Bean was pretty easy. As easy as carrying an extra 40+ pounds and having your internal organs pummelled all day (and night) can be, at least.
Sadly, these twinklets seem to not have the mercy of their brother, so far at least.
The spotting continues.
Ugh.
It was light at first, I was determined not to be worried. Then it got -- well, I'll spare you the details, but it was bad enough to be worrisome yesterday.
Now it's back to being light and less concerning.
But still.
My RE said I can come in today for another ultrasound, if I need the reassurance. But it would be quite an effort to get me and Bean downtown, plus DH would want to take off work to join me -- and as important as the twinklets are, there's nothing that can be done at this point anyway other than calm my nerves, so we are doing our best to stay positive and wait out the weekend.
On the bright side (I guess?), I feel stronger morning sickness today than I have previously. I constantly have the urge to hurl, I can hardly force any food down my throat. Hooray?
My next ultrasound is scheduled to be September 17, just under two weeks away.
Holding on.

Hooray for feeling like you want to puke!!! Not wanting to eat will take your baby weight off from Bean. Oh wait, that's not the goal right now.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness sit tight. Simply cramping has me all freaked out these days. I can't imagine how spotting is making you feel. And if you ever need an u/s and your DH can't make it, I can always come along for moral support.
Hey Sunny, the rising morning sickness is a very good sign. I do not want to spoon you the oh-spotting-is-normal line, because what do I know?
ReplyDeleteIf you are very anxious, get your DH to really get you to the RE's for an ultrasound.
U/S or no, I want everything to be fine, and milestones and milestones to be posted....Good Luck!
Oh sweetie, I hope that everything turns out OK. That has to be so scary. Call me if you do ever need a little help watching the bean just outside the RE's office. I will be thinking about you and sending out much love over the treeline.
ReplyDeleteBig ((Hugs)), thinking of you all with my best wishes.
ReplyDeleteHooray for feeling green :)
ReplyDeleteI think an u/s would help you feel much better- I hope you can find a way to get to one.
Stupid spotting. It always has to come along and ruin perfectly good high hopes.
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
Sorry to hear about the continued spotting. Despite nothing being able to be done, it is stressful to wait out.
ReplyDeleteWishing you so much luck.
I'm holding on with you hon and I hope that the rising morning sickness overrides the spotting and that your lil twinklets stay put and find their current home comfy for the next 8 months or so!!

May you have a very uneventful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe are having our ultrasounds on the same day! I'll be thinking of you! Oh yeah, the nausea is horrible. Yuck!

I thought I'd read once after my miscarriage that spotting was common during multiple pregnancies? Am I off about that?
ReplyDeleteHang in there and if you are still worried next week go for that ultrasound - whether anything can be done or not that stress is not good. Hope the spotting stops and you can enjoy the logn weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how overwhelming it is to be trying to adjust to the idea of twins and dealing with scary spotting. I can only say I'm thinking about you, checking in on your blog all the time. (It usually takes me three times looking to actually get to read and write something--thanks to Tatum and her obssession with helping w/ all Mommy's activities, including typing.)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen one of those bracelts w/ the pressure points that are suppose to help with morning sickness? I never tried it but three of my friends here absolutely swear by them. I just went with the not eating and still puking all the time approach ;) I hope the morning sickness passes quickly.
Thinking about you!

I can guarantee the exhaustion is coming from the pregnancy. I never had that with the Zofran. Good luck honey!

Hold on, Friend! I too spotted with my pregnancy (and never did with my daughter) and was basically a wreck. Your attitude is muuuuuch healthier.
ReplyDeleteI am going to email you as I talked with the wife of a hospitalist OB at a hospital you and I discussed. She said he'd help you select a doctor and tell you all about their NICU! :)
Thinking only good thoughts for you, hoping the symptoms are comforting to a degree. Let us know how things are going.
I had spotting- and it ended up being OK, however it filled me with fear. Go away Spot!
ReplyDeleteWhat dose of Zofran? It never made me sleepy in fact at the 8 mg dose it gave me such a stomach ache. Try taking a smaller dose before bed and naptime. Resting will help the nausea, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you're dealing with spotting. We have 7 ladies (yes, that's just from the ones posting on the message boards!) from the Aug cycle who are pregnant with twins, and they've been told that spotting is more common with twin pregnancies.
ReplyDeleteAs you know by my post, I'm a nervous wreck as well. Haven't even spied the hearbeat yet. But there's not reason for us to think the worst...right? I think you're correct that it is a by-product of being involved int the ALI community to remember so often the tragic stories of our sisters.
Hang tight and yay for pukiness! I'm so there with you!!!!
I meant to say from the SIRM in STL Aug cycle!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on TWINS (I'm just catching up...)
ReplyDeleteHope your morning sickness goes away soon.
Sept 17th is my Em's birthday...Thus, I KNOW this will be a luck-filled happy day for you. ;)
In the meantime, we're here for you as you wait it out...
It must be so scary! I am holding on with you and keeping everything crossed. Sending you lots of prayers and good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the excellent-mother conviction.
