25 Weeks

Well, this has been a roller coaster of a pregnancy.  I have hyperemesis graviderum, aka severe morning sickness.  I have lost 25 pounds since I started throwing up  day and night at 9.5 weeks or so.  I had a bad reaction to the phenergan, so I really only have Zofran, which I have been eating like candy.  I finally got some Bonjesta, which is basically unison and B-6.  This at least allows me to sleep through the night without waking up to throw up.  The puking has gotten better.  Some days I only throw up once or twice, some days more.  The nausea still hasn't subsided.  I have stopped losing weight.  I haven't gained, but at least I'm not losing.
Along with the hyperemesis, I have a sub chorionic hemorrhage.  This is a tear in the uterine wall that has bled and formed a clot.  Mine is located behind my placenta, and is threatening to detach the placenta from the uterine wall.
I have a very anterior placenta this time.  Good for vaginal birth, bad for repeat c-sections.  Yes, I will be having another c-section.  Unproven pelvis, failure to progress, and emergency c-section just makes the c-section a better option.
Back to this clot.  I've been on bedrest really this entire pregnancy.  I still did stuff, and 3 weeks ago I was put on restrictive bedrest because the clot had gotten larger.  Restrictive means only allowed out of bed to go pee and go to the OB.  I've been going once a week.  Went today, and if all looks good next week, I will be taken off restrictive bed rest, if not off bed rest completely.  I was originally on bedrest until 30 weeks, to make sure she is viable if we have to deliver early for some reason.  I am hoping they let me go completely.
So, I lay here in bed completely bored.  I have gotten a lot of reading and napping in.  Door Dash is our new favorite word.......
Baby girl is doing great.  She is almost 3 pounds now.  I am still not showing, which is very strange for a second pregnancy.  I didn't show with Sir Chance until 28 weeks, so I suspect I'll "pop" any day now.  Sad thing is all the cute pregnancy clothes I only get to wear for a few weeks.  Sigh.
