doctor follow up
So I went to the doctor Again yesterday and things looked a lot better. He did not do an ultrasound because he actually found the heart beat this time and it was healthy and the baby was moving so much that he kept having to chase the baby to get an accurate count. He said that is a good sign that the baby is very healthy and active. I wish he would have done another ultra sound so I could see that the separation was okay but he insisted that if it was still separating I would be bleeding alot more than I am and that he thinks things are going to be fine. I am not out of the woods until I am about 20 weeks he said so I have to take it easy for the next five weeks and hope things stay okay. He told me I could resume normal activity as long as I stayed away from heavy physical activity. So today I had a normal day and started dong normal housey things like laundry, dishes, playing with the kids, a trip to the store, you know how it goes and all ready I am bleeding again. So basically this post started out good and now I still have no idea what is going on. Basically the baby is very healthy so I have to do nothing until I am sure that My body is going to quite being stupid. I feel great though so no worries! That is the doctor update and I will post another as soon as I know anything!!

Kim, everytime I think about what is going on with you, I want to tell you to get a new doctor. I'm sure you guys know what is best for you, but I was a high risk pregnancy patient and I've been through some scary things. I'm not sure what your exact diagnosis is, but placental separation is very, very serious. From what I've read, routine ultrasounds to check on the placenta and any surrounding blood clots is necessary. I guess it just worries me that your doctor didn't feel the need to even look at the placenta before clearing you to go back to normal activities. When I had complications with Emma - I had an ultrasound EVERY WEEK for months. My situation was completely different though.
Maybe you should consider researching to see if a high-risk pregnancy doctor (a perinatologist) would be necessary. In fact, I'm sure if you call a local perinatologist office they'll tell you whether or not your condition is serious enough to warrant that. You can never be too careful with yourself or your baby.
I just wanted to tell you what my heart is worrying about. Be prayerful and together with Brian you'll know what to do. Love you!
Uhhh....I hope I didn't step over the line with my comments. I'm not trying to boss you around here. I hope you know that and I hope my comment didn't come across the wrong way. I just love you!
Thank you Michaelynn-
It is nice to hear a new perspective since I have no idea what to make of it all. I love you too!
