Vbac and pain meds

Anyone with a heart condition that was able to have a vaginal birth without medications?I have a mild dilated cardiomyopathy but my heart has been doing well that my cardiologist said I do not need extra heart monitoring during labor and delivery. However I'm trying out for a VBAC and my high risk doctors said I'm a great candidate. I'm still waiting on word about pain management from my cardiologist.

Placenta accreta

So I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and all in one week we found out we are having our second girl and also placenta accreta. This is when your placenta starts to go through or goes through all the way of your uterus. I have had previous c sections so I guess it’s because of that. It is going through the scar tissue. My doctor this week has started explaining everything to me and told me I was extremely high risk. I’m more than likely going to need a hysterectomy now too because they won’t be able to get the placenta out. I may even need blood transfusions. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has any advice or anything they can tell me about it so I can be as prepared as possible. I have to get an MRI done and meet with an oncologist to discuss the surgery.

Bleeding after sex

Because of having NF1 and a leep procedure 2 years ago I was told I'd be high risk. I had a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday and everything seemed ok then today after sex I started bleeding what seem like a lot and bright red. By 2 hours later it was brown and only when I wiped. Still brown and when I wipe now 7 hours later. This scared the hell out of me. Anyone else?

Surprise Surprise!

My husband and I have 6 children together, 3 girls and 3 boys. Our boys are 15, 13, and 8. Our girls are 12, 5, and 9 months. The plan was after our last baby I would get on some kind of birth control which was the Nuva Ring. Well without me knowing this past October my Nuva Ring came out. I conceived at the beginning of November and found out I was pregnant again in December. I was devistated because having 6 children was enough, now 7! Wow.... Then me and my husband went for our first ultrasound last week and surprise surprise, it's twins!!!! I almost passed out. Our family just went from 8 to 10.🤦 But I guess God had other plans for us. 🤷😊

Any one else taking baby aspirin

Abnormal umbilical cord insertion

subchorionic hemorrhage

Hi everyone,Im 30 years old had a miscarriage last October @ 4 week. I am now currently 7w 5d with my rainbow baby. This past Friday I had an episode in which I felt as a water ballon had pooped and instantly I started dripping lots and lots of blood, at that moment I thought I had lost my baby. Thank god at the ER their confirm my baby is perfectly fine. They did diagnose me with a subchorionic hemorrhage. At this moment I have been in complete bed rest I am even scared to cough . I was told by my oB that it might go away, yet is undefined until when. I am praying and feel very optimistic, yet I feel I panic over every little ache I feel now.. Any recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated
