bleeding in pregnancy

[ariel]

Im 24 wks pregnant and have had a number of bleeds in this pregnancy as i did in a past pregnancy.i was told it was a cervical erosion,after a bleed at 17 wks and a scan i was told the loss was from my placenta.I had to spend the new year in hospital after yet another bleed which was again from my placenta, i have had a prem baby b4 at 32 wks and at the mo i am very concerned,im booked for a section at 39 wks because of preveious emregency section and more importantly my last child had group b strep meningitis,im feeling pretty lousy to say the least,not to mention i have been in constant pain with spd,.I find it very ammusing reading pregnancy mags which say i should at this stage feel wonderfull,clearly its men who write these comments, i pray that i will at least have a few weeks of uncomplicated pregnacy so i enjoy a small part of it.

PS I meant to say that I got pregnant straight away with DD and she was fine, but it certainly wasn't planned that way and I did worry a lot more as a result. I would recommend having at least one period before you try again.

Jodee - I haven't been online for a few days and was so sad to read your news. I have been there myself (before DD) and the only advice I can give is to be kind to yourself. Take things slowly and don't worry if you are fine one minute and crying the next. Time will help heal the hurt, even if it doesn't seem possible right now. xx

Jodee, thinking of you, Winnie x

Thanks again all.
Sobernow, so sorry to hear you went through it too. you are right - our parents/grandparents didn't have the testing kits or scans that we have now and probably weren't even aware they had been pregnant when they had an early miscarriage.
Lulu40, that must have been very painful for you to go through it twice, I will take your advice on board about waiting before trying again.
Love, Jodee

Jodee, just got back on line after a few days and really sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Jodee,

So sorry to hear your news - I know you are counting your blessings that you do already have a beautiful child do focus on that. We are all so very lucky to have the children we have. I had two miscarriages before I got my little man and am so very grateful for him. Its very hard to express how you are feeling and some people really dont know what to say and often say stuff you find insenitive - you sound very together I wish you all the very best for the future if you decide to try again - do wait at 3 months though as I think my second miscarriage happened because we didnt wait long enough as I got pregnant the first month after my first period and I dont think my body had really settled down if that makes sense. Take care of yourself and do have a good cry and if you dont feel you can talk to anyone else around you telephone the Miscarriage Association I spoke to a lovely woman when I felt really down and didnt want to keep talking to friends she really helped xx

Jodee - so sorry to hear your news. I hope the messages here & on the board about miscarriages will help you to know that you're not alone. Not that it's any easier, of course. All I can do is echo what other people have already said: take care of yourself, and don't expect to be "over it" quickly. As Enid says, don't try and rush to get back to normal again if you don't feel like it.
Best wishes Rxxx

Hi Jodee, my heart sank when I saw all these messages at first but when I read them I just saw bundles hope and support here for you. I know what you mean about not minding sharing your news, I've filled these boards with lots of personal info (obviously along with many others) but I don't regret it. This is the time for you when you can call on us all (if I may speak for 'us all'?!) to listen, help or share experiences. I send you my sympathy and ask you to take care of yourself at this horrible time and I think your positive attitude will help you gain your strength back much quicker,
Love, L X

[jodee]

Once again, I am deeply touched by all your kind words, I really am.

Many of you have been through it too and have eventually been blessed with healthy children, which is so encouraging. I wasn't aware that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, that's an awful lot of heartache. Things happen for a reason and I know I will be stronger for the experience and am being positive that happiness will be the final outcome.

Much love, Jodee

So sorry your hopes were dashed, Jodee. Hope you are able to take things easy for now.

Very sorry to hear your news Jodee. Take some time to look after and cherish yourself - although with a toddler in tow that might be difficult!

[Lill]

Jodee, words can do so little. I was truly sorry to read your news, be kind to yourself and give yourself time.
Best wishes to you and your family
