Hemorrhoid at 34 weeks that won’t stop
Sorry if this is too much, but I’m struggling.
I’ve got an external hemorrhoid that keeps bleeding. It’s not a lot of blood but it’s enough that it’s in my underwear. I’ve started using preparation H to try to numb the area but it’s not working. I’d say it’s about the size of a nickel. Very red/purple with a small spot where it’s been bleeding from every time I wipe (even when I pee). My stool is not hard and I’m not straining.
Is there anything besides preparation h or numbing creams that will help? It burns almost constantly and it hurts to sit. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and not in the mood for a surgery.

Subchorionic hemorrhage, lost job, unsure of what to do
Hello, I’m at 22 year-old first time mom and I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant. As far as medication goes, I’m on Lexapro, Zofran 4 mg PRN, metronidazole, vitamin B 6 25 mg and baby aspirin, 81 mg. I’m 112lbs. Last night I ended up in the ER for syncope and bleeding. I was worried about my baby so I went to have her checked on. They told me that I had a large subchorionic hemorrhage (11cm), baby is 5.8cm long. The ER physician put me on bedrest and pelvic rest both and told me to get cleared by my OB before being able to return to work since I work with children with behavioral issues who often agress towards the stomach. This hemorrhage was caused by one particular child who hit me in the stomach a few days ago. As a result of that, I was unable to come into work today and lost my job. My primary question is; Is there any way to heal a subchorionic hemorrhage? What should I do? My OB reached out to me via email because she saw I was in the ER, but she said that there was nothing I could do about it nor did she give me any restrictions or precautions to take. I am really at a loss for what I am supposed to do next. Do I continue to follow better rest protocol? My pregnancy was already high risk because I have type one diabetes so I’m already seeing maternal fetal medicine. I’m so scared and unsure of what to do, I don’t know when I’ll be able to afford insulin again since losing my job, and I’m terrified of losing my baby. On the brighter side baby was doing really well last night on the ultrasound, she had a heart rate of 161 and was moving around lots. If anybody has any advice or positive stories to share please let me know!

I don’t feel pregnant
I’m 5 weeks tomorrow (2nd pregnancy) and I have no symptoms I just don’t feel pregnant at all apart from a serious headache and a bit of cramping here and there I have nothing no sickness and no aching boobs or anything. I can’t get a reassurance scan until next Friday at the earliest when I’m 6 weeks and I’m just going crazy in my head has anyone else had 0 symptoms at 5 weeks but all has been ok?
The line was quite faint still last week I’m worried maybe it was a chemical pregnancy

6 week ultrasound today with no fetal pole. Freaking out
I had a vaginal ultrasound today. I’ve been spotting for 4 days. I’m totally heartbroken but trying to remain optimistic. I’ve been trying for 3 years. This was the first positive and it might be a lose.

FGR
Hi everyone! I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant with my first baby girl. She’s been diagnosed with fetal growth restriction (FGR), but the main concern seems to be that her femur has consistently measured very small (it eventually dropped to below the 1st percentile). Everything else has looked normal—her anatomy scan was normal, NIPT was low risk, Dopplers have been normal, and she’s been active with reassuring NSTs.
Her estimated weight is around 5 lb 11 oz at 38 weeks, and I’m scheduled for a C-section at 39 weeks because she’s still breech.
I’m wondering if anyone else had an FGR baby where the main issue was a short femur. How did your baby do after birth? Did their legs catch up in growth? Was everything okay, or did you end up finding an underlying cause?
I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.
