the main reason why i quit my job last year is becoz of my pregnancy.
on the first month i have few days of spotting and i just thought it could be normal as to some mothers also experience that,but on the 2nd month and i still have that spotting for few days i felt then that thats alarming already,,,as i remember my first pregancy, i didnt experience something like that(but i was preeclampsia back then)
so i decided to quit the job and follow my doctors advice to stay at home and bedrest...(good thing i found an alternative job online)that way i could still help family on paying bills...
going back...i had lots of laboratory done and doctors found notting about the spotting caused...but they inject me steroids to prepare my baby's lungs just incase ill have premature labor.it is really painfull and i cursed that kind of medication...
im on the 33rd weeks now and still have this spotting issue,and doctors ask me to repeat the labtest,and hopefully they find answers in my case.
im holding on...and thinking positively bout my condition,feeling happy all the time and gratefull i have my husband besides me all the time...
but ill tell you folks...im tired of bedrest...so i avoid thinking about my case and focus on my job and cooking for my family...
few more weeks to wait and this will be over...

they didnt tell me if i have that...cos regarding to the ultrasound my baby is fine,my cervix is fine,my placenta is fine...
actually they dont know what to tell me...they just said i should stay in bed...eat healthy and avoid stairs and walking and carrying heavy objects...
and take my vitamins...
will wait for the result of another batch of labtest this coming week...

Yeah you're case is a bit complicated. I'm no expert but haven't heard of spotting all through out pregnancy, is it painful or not? if it's painful it might require Cesarean as it might indicate abruptio placenta; if it's painless it might be placenta previa, but it's when there's too much bleeding. Guess you just have to really follow your doctor, as bedrest is really very important since your at risk and has history of preeclampsia. I hope & pray you have a good delivery Coz yeah you really are high risk and most likely your last month will be spent in the labor room high risk area. However nothing to worry about your doctor as always knows what's best! Hope you have a good & healthy delivery, Ciao!
p.s. You mentioned bout job online, can you help me get a job online too? Thanks and God bless! ^^

I really hope that everything goes well for you! My best friends mother had a full period for her entire pregnancy with him. He was healthy and normal, so stay positive! I am very glad that your husband is there by your side. I wish the best for you!

Hi, i think doc's know the best about their patients.so there must be some reason for which,they have asked you to stay in bed most of the time. though I am not a woman but i do think that women should take extra care while there is any sign of abnormality in the pregnancy.I am sure you and your family along with the concerned doc's in your case all want a healthy baby and a safe delivery. well, I hope you two are doing well and soon we all will get the good news from you right here...tc

I wish you the best! I understand what you are going through. I also had a high risk pregnancy. I was diagnosed with placenta previa. I did not take it seriously at first. I was on medicaid, and I found out that a lot of medicaid doctors will diagnose pregnant women with that condition in order to justify more doctors visits. Unfortunately, I really did have placenta previa. I had to be hospitalized a couple of times, and I also had to get the steroid injections. I did go into early labor at 32 weeks and was given an emergency c-section. I have a happy healthy baby boy, though. I really feel for your situation, but pretty soon the hard part will be over.

i really do hope that they find the reason why i still have spotting...
its really a mistery to me and family...and on congenital ultrasound they saw the baby...fine and doing well inside...no defects...( im so thankfull about that)
sometime i feel some cramps but in minutes it will disappear.
thanks for sharing kelly

Well...congratulations on being close to getting it all over with. It sounds like it is a very good thing that your doctors are working so hard to take care of you and you have made it so far. Your baby is getting bigger, stronger, and more likely to survive with each and every day! This is definitely a good thing. It will be over soon enough.
