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.

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 - 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

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.
