At my second c section my OBGYN said I couldn’t go past 37 weeks in a subsequent pregnancy due to a uterine window. Curious to know if any of y’all had a pregnancy after uterine window and how it went.
Last year I got an endoscopy due to some pain I was having under my left breast. My results were that I had active esophagitis and my eosinophils were greater than 60, mainly were in my distal esophagus (middle was 15, and upper was 3). My doctor thought it was GERD and put me on PPI’s and I do think it helped a little bit.
Fast forward I got pregnant and had a baby! My symptoms got sooooo much better in pregnancy. Had plenty of acid reflux but I wasn’t having sternum pain with swallowing anymore.
Now that I’m 13 weeks post partum, my symptoms have come back full force. Pain again behind my sternum that only seems to get better when drinking soda with meals. Also had an episode of a peanut butter sandwich getting stuck for almost 20 minutes until I was able to properly swallow it down. It also feels like there is something in my throat all the time. Started taking my PPI’s again last week and havent seen any symptom relief yet. Is this in fact just GERD or EoE?
In the beginning of my journey I was very sure on trying for a vbac. Now that I am so close I’m getting so scared! No signs of labor yet. Baby has gotten lower and now with every kick or gas pain my c-section incision hurts. My husband has been encouraging and reassures me that something bad happening is rare. My twin brother suffered HIE when he was born and knowing that is a great possibility with a uterine rupture makes me very hesitant. Considering calling my doctor but I’m just crashing out on what to do.
