In May of this year I lost a set of identical twins at 16 weeks. I am now 9 1/2 weeks pregnant again, this time with fraternal twins. I had some spotting at 7 weeks which was scary but both babies were ok and it was so light and over so quickly that I had truly hoped that that was the worst to come. At 8 1/2 weeks I wound up in the hospital for heavy bleeding which they have diagnosed as due to separation of my placenta from my uterus. Once again I get the diagnosis of threatened abortion thrown at me and am told that there is nothing they can do about it and that I just have to wait and see what happens. Had a sono on Friday and again yesterday and luckily both babies still had heartbeats w/i normal range. I am a nervous wreck now and can not even bear the thought of possibly losing another two children again. I am scared out of my mind. It is a pretty big bleed, although the sono tech said yesterday that it appeared slightly smaller than it was on Weds. of last week. But who knows if they were just trying to make me feel a little better. I dont even know what to think. I am trying to stay positive but it is just so scary right now. I am going to see Dr Kofinas on Thursday to see what he thinks about the situation as I was told he specializes in stuff like this. I am just praying that my babies stay strong ad healthy and hold on tight in there for me. Please please please keep us in your prayers!
I'm so sorry. I do hear that Dr Kofina's is an amazing dr though. Part of his job is to keep you pregnant. It's good that you are going to see him soon.
Please please keep us posted. I'm going to be thinking of you...
