Hello hello a pleasure to greet all the hivers especially those of us who are part of this beautiful motherhood community. This is my fourth pregnancy, a pregnancy in which I was unaware of its existence until I reached 14 weeks, when something out of the ordinary happened, which made me ring the alarm bell and rush to the doctor...
You may wonder, how is it possible that I did not realize I was pregnant until then, trying to be a little brief I tell you, 14 weeks ago I went to the control consultation with my trusted gynecologist, by then I was breastfeeding my 9 month old baby, in the medical consultation the doctor made me an echo of which everything looked pretty good thank God.
We left the consultation from which I had to return a month later to get the results of the cytology, the day she withdrew the test I told the doctor that I had not had my menstruation, she asked me if I felt anything unusual and I told her that I only felt a slight upset stomach that I attributed to something I had eaten and surely I was sick and since nothing was observed in the echo, she assumed that it could be that my prolactin levels were very high and that could be the cause of the absence of menstruation.
I am a mother of two beautiful princesses, I work from home and I had a very hectic day, between work, taking care of the girls and housework, and when it was time to go to bed I could not stand a sciatic nerve pain, I could not take another step.
That night when I went to the bathroom I saw that the liquid that I thought was urine, was abundant and slightly red, I thought for a moment that it could be menstruation that had arrived, but it was not. At the hospital, where they lacked the equipment to attend me, they only told me that I was probably 14 weeks pregnant and had a threatened miscarriage..
It was quite a complex weekend, so keeping me on bed rest and filling me with lots and lots of patience we had to wait until Monday to attend the consultation with the obstetrician, she checked me and we saw my beautiful baby, well and stable..
The doctor noticed an internal hematoma that was right next to the placenta and surely that was the cause of the bleeding, she told me all the risks that were being taken and everything that could happen if the hematoma and bleeding continued.
He really alerted me a lot and I left the consultation very, very distressed, he indicated absolute bed rest and the pertinent treatment, he also recommended a special echo with a colleague at 18 weeks.
Everything came together, when I was on bed rest my husband reduced his working hours to be able to help me take care of the girls and myself, obviously I also had to stop working, we had to buy medicines, go to medical check-ups and there were many expenses... and sas! suddenly my oldest daughter got sick, then the youngest and once they recovered, my husband and I got sick.
They were days of great stress and my thoughts were always focused on God, who never abandons his children, that this would pass and everything would be fine.
The days passed and we went to perform the special echo that the doctor indicated, and when the echo was performed we saw that the hematoma was not there, it was reabsorbed, thanks to the rest and compliance with the indicated treatment, grateful to God first because undoubtedly it is a blessing.
I have to keep resting since it is said that the hematoma formation could be due to the recentness of the previous pregnancy and for doing weights such as carrying my youngest daughter for example, I was also drinking a lot of hibiscus water which is not recommended in pregnancy.
I have to continue with constant medical check-ups, I continue to work from home, with a lot of help from my family and with God's help, I am now 21 weeks pregnant, staying positive, optimistic and like all moms, enthusiastic for the soon arrival of the new member of the family.
Undoubtedly it is those moments when we break down in health when we most value being and feeling well, as always I hope this post will be very helpful and useful for everyone and take the best of it.
Thank you for reading me, I send you good vibes and infinite blessings for you and your families, Kisses and a big hug!
