I just want some hand-holding really. This is my second pregnancy (y first was perfect in every way, no troubles no worries) but this one has been a rollercoaster already. Supposedly miscarried over Christmas (so the hospital said) only to find out 12 days later that there was in fact a 13 week baby in there (2 weeks further along than from my LMP). Bleeding on and off until the beginning of this week when it all settled down and my scan confirmed that I was now 15 weeks along and the haematoma was resolving and negligible and draining so well because it's right near my cervix. Then yesterday I stated to notice that my vaginal discharge had gone ery thin and watery and by today it had turned a horrid yellow colour, smelled awful and have a dull lover belly ache. Despite all the heavy snow here the Dr (my midwives were utter shit) wanted to see me straight away. Although my temp and pulse etc are normal I'm a bit tender in my lower abdomen and his concern is that the haematoma has actually become infected, hense the yucky discharge along with the normal small amounts of brown tissue still coming away. Anyway, despite the warnings from the pharmaceutical company about not giving Metronidazole (tm Flagyl) unless nesesccessary especially in short course high doses the Dr has opted to put me on a 5 day course of 1200ng a day PLUS 1500mg of amoxicillin a day. I did question him about this and he said he really felt given what he suspects is happening that this is the safest thing to do right now (he's concerned I could turn septic quickly if we don't take a belt and braces approach immediately) He would have preferred to do a swab and get the results but since we are experiencing heavy snow and it's the weekend he was worried we would be waiting too long for the results.
I'm going to take the antibiotics but I'm so worried. This baby has had a lot to deal with already (had a normal period so didn't realise till I was 8 weeks along so enjoyed my usual lifestyle) plus over Xmas I indulged in a lot of alcohol after being told I'd miscarried.
