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.
