Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to find a place to vent about all of the things currently frustrating the heck out of me. This is my third pregnancy but unfortunately we don't have any children yet. The previous two ended in miscarriages: one at 8 weeks the other at five.

This pregnancy was a surprise but it was one of the best things we could have asked for. All my husband and I want is to start a family and after all the heart break we were so excited to find out we were expecting again. That is until I started having complications again.

Four weeks ago I had a bleeding episode at work and was diagnosed in emerg as having a small subchorionic hemorrhage. I was told not to worry and was placed on light duties at work/pelvic rest for 4 weeks (this was hard given that I work as a nurse in an acute care hospital). Fast forward to 4 weeks later and out of no where I have another bleed that lands me in emerg. This time however, I am told the bleed has tripled and is subplacental (the worst place you can have it). The conversation between myself and the doctor was long but she essentially stated that my husband and I consider ending the pregnancy now as it doesn't look good (as an FYI until I am told the baby gone this isnt an option)

I guess what I am looking for is any support or advice you ladies can give. My husband and I were so excitez and now it feels like a death sentence. I really wish we could catch a break.
