ok ladies, so I'm 24 weeks and 5 days. this whole pregnancy has been insane. I've stayed sick, nauseas, weak, sleepy, and light headed the whole time, and also started having bh around 15 weeks. when I had my anatomy scan done, I came back a couple days later for a check up and my ob told me they saw a little "blood patch" inside the placenta? he didn't explain it any other way bc our baby girl is growing perfect.

fast forward to Monday (April 9)...

I was at work, doing fine. all of a sudden I felt like headed. tunnel vision, all I heard was fuzziness in my ears, sweaty. 3 different times (I'm usually able to calm it down after the first time, couldn't shake it this time!). about the 2nd time, I started having what I thought was really strong bh contractions, it freaked me out so I told my manager i needed to go to the hospital. went, low and behold, i was having actual contractions at 24 weeks and 1 day. they gave me fluids, and 2 shots of the meds to stop the contractions. I'm not dilated, but I was told my cervix felt like it had a "little dimple" in it, which idk what that meant. 🙄 sooooo.. now I'm here on bed rest. not allowed to work, lift, clean, I have to ask my husband to pick our 2 year old up and put her on me to give love, so I can feel like a decent mommy... went for a ultrasound check up yesterday for measurements, and shes perfect. bpm was 148, weighed in around 1lb 48oz.

I guess I'm more worried about if this "blood patch" is what could be causing the contractions, passing out spells, etc? or if anyone else has had this problem? my first pregnancy was beyond easy, so for this one to be the complete opposite has driven me almost insane!

here is our sweet girl btw. 💜
