Last night after having a relaxing evening at home I decided to take a shower and go to bed. During my shower I felt fine. After the shower all hell broke loose. I used the restroom and to my surprise I was bleeding. Bright red blood. I yelled for Daniel told him I was bleeding and we both got dressed in a hurry and ran off to the hospital.
They took me to a triage room immediately. That's when the waiting game began. We were in that room for 2 hours. Finally, they took us back to a room. The PA came in shortly after they got me situated. He did an exam and had them draw some blood and contacted radiology for me to have an ultrasound.
The blood draw was easy. I have only a tiny bruise where the very nice lady took my blood. When they came to get me for the ultrasound I was really upset because Daniel couldn't go with me. We get in the room and the lady then tells me I cannot look at the screen and by law she cannot tell me anything about the scans. The scans were very uncomfortable and unpleasant and stressful.
After she took me back to my room we began the waiting game again. We were there for another 2 hours waiting on results. All of a sudden this guy comes in my room and says they have to move me to the main ER. I was scared because I didn't understand why I was being moved. I could have sworn something was wrong. I thought I was losing the baby and that I was going to have to have a D & C done. I get into my new room and the DR. came in sand gave me the news.
The baby was fine!!! It is confirmed I have a baby in there!
The baby had a heartbeat and was as big as a 6 week old baby should be!!
The bleeding was caused by the placenta burrowing it's way deeper into the lining. I guess this was "spotting" and it was normal. As long as I am not excessively bleeding then I am ok. So, for now I am safe, the baby is safe and my poor Husband is sleeping because he was up for more than 24 hours.
