Hello all
I'm currently 9+5 weeks pregnant with twins and I've been diagnosed with a SCH measuring 24mm x 13mm x 14mm. It's hovering somewhere above the 2nd sac. Babies are both fine and are growing well.
I've been bleeding on and off since week 5 including 2 terrifying bright red gushes (with clots) in week 7. I've been on 'bed rest' of sorts for the last 2 weeks - working from the settee, on the advice of my IVF gynaecologist. The bleeding has more or less stopped - it starts again (dark brown) whenever I walk. I've now graduated to an Obstetrician and when I saw him yesterday he said there's no evidence that bed rest really helps.
I have an office job and I'm planning to go back to work on Monday. Any advice regarding work vs rest? I've read conflicting reports online - some people seem to think it's better to let the SCH 'bleed out' and others think rest is best. I have an understanding employer but I need to get back to normal life at some stage, right? At the same time, I'm terrified that I'm going to cause myself to miscarry.
Any advice welcome! Thanks.
