Pregnancy Info HOME

At 12 weeks preganant, I rolled onto my side in bed and felt a huge gush. After 6 hours in the emergency room with nurses telling us it didn't look good and it was okay to cry, we found that I had a subchorionic hematoma of 5.1 cm by 8.1 cm. (The baby is only 6 cm). Now, at 14 weeks, the baby is hanging in there. I've been spotting for 2 weeks. In the past 3 days, the flow has increased and I have a constant pain on the upper right of my uterus, where my doctor says is where my placenta tore away from my uterus. I'm on complete bedrest which is completely frustrating when my 1 1/2 year old son is tearing through the house and I'm scheduled to begin weekly ultrasounds this week.
I had 6 ultrasounds previous to the incident, none of which showed any sign of a problem. I have premature ovarian failure, so my son and this new baby are the result of a donor egg and hundreds of shots / medications. After 3 years of infertility treatments and having this new baby in cryogenic storage for 2 years, you tend to realize how precious life is. Best of luck to all of you going through the same.
