The Reason for the Bleeding at 13 Weeks Pregnant

To My Beautiful Child· Twin Pregnancy

2 Mar


To my beautiful children,

I went to the doctor this morning at 8:30 am and he said that the cause of the bleeding on Sunday was due to one of the placentas detaching slightly from the uterus. That placenta is quite the drama queen…did it really need all of the blood all over the place?! Drama, drama, drama. Dr. Glenn said that since the bleeding has stopped, I don’t have too much to worry about but he does want me to take it pretty easy the next 4 weeks. He said that I shouldn’t exercise, but I can go to work and that bed rest is actually a bad thing for me right now because it could cause blood clots if I’m not moving around enough. It sounded like he thought I would be sad to hear that but I told him to rest assure, bed rest is fun for about 3 hours until you get bored with your Netflix show. I’m more than happy that he told me to go to work! He said that getting up, getting ready, and doing things like getting up to get water and use the restroom during the day is about the all the exercise that I need right now and that amount of movement will be good for me. 

I also need to get another rhogam shot in 12 weeks to protect my babies in case they have positive blood types.

As for my diet, I think I need to start working on that. I’m feeling much better this week than last week so far, but still only a few foods sound good at any given time. Today, it was a chicken, egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast at Chik-fil-a, and a baked potato at Wendy’s for dinner, among other things. Before I got pregnant, I would literally never go through drive-thrus. Like, maybe once every 4 months, if that. Now it’s two-a-days, apparently. It’s like I’m a football player going to practice twice a day, except it’s the drive-thru…and I’m sitting on my butt. So I guess it’s not the same at all. 

I also couldn’t stop talking about hot dogs today at work because that sounded really good. Who am I?!!

You’re worth it!

    What does it mean the placenta is detaching?

      It means that the placenta isn't attached to the uterine wall in a small place. I learned this happens in about 75% of pregnancies.

    As soon as i seen your picture on IG i came by quickly to read your new post. Glad all is well with the 3 of you, babies are giving you such a hard time already lol. I don't mean to scare you but 3 months ago i had a placenta abruption which is when the placenta detaches from the uterus and cause me to have a hemorrhage at home 20 mins. late had an emergency csection at 38wks pregnant. To make long story short please becareful and listen to any signs that your body tell you. If you feel somethings not right seek medical help immediately. Thankfully my baby and i survived but in a case like mine many times either baby survives or the mother not both. Take good care of yourself and i can't wait to read more exciting adventures!

      Wishing you the best; I'm so glad all is well! Luckily with me it's just a small tear that will heal quickly and I didn't hemorrhage at all. I'm still going to take it easy though 🙂 I learned this happens in about 75% of pregnancies.

      I hope you are doing well with your little ones! xo

    Congrats on your pregnancy, and I'm glad everything is ok!! Since you are feeling better and ready to focus on your diet, I highly recommend the book "When you are expecting twins, triplets, or quads" by Barbara Luke. I mostly followed her guidelines for eating and had big (6 and 6.8 oz), healthy, full-term twins! 🙂

    You are the cutest! I love your "it's like I'm a football player…except not really at all." And those cravings get the best of us. With my first pregnancy, I thought KFC sounded SO good. Worst.Decision.Ever. I haven't eaten there since (it's been over 6 years) ?
    I am SO glad to hear that all is well with you. Such a scary time though! Oh my goodness. The roller coaster of ivf is hard enough and then you just brace yourself all along the way, praying nothing goes wrong. You're in jt prayers. I want nothing more than for you to have two, healthy babies! ❤️??

    I'm glad everything is okay with your babies and I had to laugh reading about your diet. I have twins who are almost 4 and in the beginning of my pregnancy all I wanted were snack wraps from McDonald's even though I never eat fast food. Because twins come early, you have less time to get weight on those babies so you go ahead and eat up. ?

    So with my first ivf pregnancy I had this happen at 11 weeks and then it went away for a week and then came back and then went away for good.. I read a lot about it and found its quite common in ivf pregnancies.. My cousin had it happen to her( I had warned her so I think it helped her not freak out so much) .. We just found out our FET was successful and I'm worried about going through that bleeding again … Even though everything was fine it's still scary to see that much blood.. I had also read that when the placenta reattaches sometimes it attaches extra good and has a hard time detaching at birth.. Sure enough mine did and my doctor was up to her elbow trying to get all my placenta.. So anyway don't be worried if that happens:).. Btw my placenta showed no signs of detachment at 16 weeks

    Yay!!! Bleeding can seem scary, but it happens in so many pregnancies! I bled off and on till week 17. It was my 4th pregnancy, and my first living child. He ended up being born 11 weeks early, but is TOTALLY fine now! Pregnancy doesn't come easily to all, but oh man is it worth it!! I'll be praying for you and your little ones. They sure do have a great, positive mommy! 🙂

      All your chats was very useful.. Am 12 weeks pregnant by ivf treatment, I was admitted in hospital for recovery. Now am fine but doctor said to be careful as bleeding appears in scan which may occur until 16 week… So i was worried, after seeing your post i feel little relaxed… Thank you all

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.
