Should I go to the ER?



Recommended Posts

So I'm 6 weeks preg. And for the past two days I have been very weak and faint. I have hydrated myself, took Vitamins, and ate Protein rich food but no improvement. To top it off TMI alert....I have been spotting brown and red and I have had some thick substance come out that I've never seen before. The spotting has been going on for over a week.

I didn't go to the ER. I did have a nutrition appointment scheduled for this morning and an OB appointment for the afternoon. I decided to wait it out. My sister brought out to my appointment and my nutritionist advised me to increase my Protein intake and increase the amount of carbs. Although, with bypass you should always focus on protein I need to increase my calorie intake and I need to get some carbs in for energy for the baby. I then went to my OB appointment and they did an exam on me and saw the spotting and then gave me an ultrasound. Guess what!!!!!! I am having twins. So the spotting is considered normal. They advised me that because I am having twins I am having double the fatigue, double hormones, and double the discharge or spotting. They measured the babies and they are right on time. Then we listened to the heart beats and they are very normal. So surprise surprise to me.

Wow that's great! We have a set of twins in the family- my youngest siblings are nearly 14 now. I was 13 when they were born and I will tell you they are so much work but also such a blessing.

Congrats!!!

Brown spotting at 6 weeks is normal. It's implantation bleeding. Your body is cleaning itself.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
