Close Call....

Comment Published at 07:0007:0017 comments17 comments37 Visits37 VisitsReport

Monday night, I went to the loo. And next thing I know I am loosing blood. I did not strangely panic, I just said "oh F##k."

Hubby says whats up, as he was talking to Francis in his room. I said "I think I am loosing the baby." He came into the bathroom got what I asked for, then I took myself off to the hospital at 11.30pm. Hubby was going to come with me but I told him to stay home with Francis. We could have got my sister in-law who lives next door, but for some reason I said I'd be ok... And I was, just for some reason I wanted him with me and I did not at the same time. In a way it was good because I could cry with out having him watch me, as he gets really upset when he sees me cry.

I went in at 11.30pm and the first sign of me seeing a doctor was at 8am. It was strange, I arrived there crying my eyes out saw the triage lady who did a check up told me she put me on high priority, but there were many before me and only one doctor... I know the story I have been to triage before. I knew it was going to take a long time. I did not how ever think I would not be home in time to take my son to day care.

I had no pain, nothing, just the bleeding.. By the time I got to the hospital the bleeding had slowed a lot. I cried a ton, then by 5am I felt like I was over it, come on just let me see a doc so I can go home. Then I started up crying again.. Not sure if it was due to the fact that I may have lost my baby or I could not believe I still had not seen a doctor.

8am rolls around, I see the doc, blood tests ordered, and he did a little exam asked if I had any pain when he touched here or there. Answer was no.. He checked and he said my cervix was still closed which was an excellent sign.

Anyway cut a long story short, I still have bubs, will have an ultrasound tomorrow and another blood test to be sure to be sure. I am to have lots of rest for the next couple of days. I am still bleeding but very slightly, not enough to go running to the hospital about.

I must say though, now that I have been told that I am to do nothing for two days, all I want to do is clean... You know if I was told that I am not allowed to clean my house every day I think my house would be spotless... I wish this kind of thing worked on the kids... No don't I repeat don't clean your room... And off they go to clean their room.. Oh how lovely that would be... I want to do stuff now because I have been told I can't for a couple of days..

Ho hum...

Anyway that was my yesterday.. I will feel better after the ultrasound but am just drained. I got out of the hospital 12 hours after I went in... At least we don't have to pay for the doc...

PS: Just wanted to say thanks to Yummymummyof3, Marg and Janice, for their messages and phone calls..  Felt great to know you guys were there thinking of me..   Janice we have to get that skype up and running, or just send me you  phone number.. :) Much love and thanks to you all xxxx

Re: Close Call....

Oh Jess, you need to rest, so throw out all the cleaning stuff and veg on the couch!  How often is it a doctors order to do that?

I'm glad that you are ok.  Let's hope the ultrasound is good news.  Bleeding in pregnancy is common, though not for me, and I have been told it can actually be the cervix trying to cope with pregnancy, they do, after all, go through quite a lot of stress too.

You better be lying down in bed with a laptop missy!  Don't you move an inch.  Triage arrrgh, it tries your patience and makes you think some crazy thoughts, you poor thing. ; (

Take extra special care of yourself and that little bubs, and we will be thinking of you xox

Re: Close Call....

Thank you very much every one... As per doctors orders, I rested up today.. Bored as hell, but I found a game on the xbox360 to keep me company until I had to go and get Francis.. He was in such a mood he kept wanting to be picked up.  Poor kid, I really wanted to, but I could imagine every one screaming at me, put him down.. So we sat on the floor and cuddled.. Don't know what was wrong with him, he gets like that sometimes...

Anyway scan is tomorrow along with blood test, so will let you all know how it goes..

I am still bleeding a little, but strangely enough I am  not that concerned... Ok just a little. But I am saving what ever feelings I need for tomorrow...  As said I will let you all know how it goes... Don't get upset or worried if I don't get on, I'll text someone to write to let you know whats going on if I can't get on tomorrow night..

Thanks every one for thinking of us here.. xxxxxxxxx

Re: Close Call....

Oh Jess,

Get plenty of rest . You know women can bleed in early pregnancy and it can be totally normal . But if it does get heavier than a period before your ultrasound please go straight to the hospital and demand they see you immediatly and examine you . I have my fingers tightly crossed for you . Thinking of you.

Luv Emz xxxx

Hey,

Aww how scary for you, im glad everything is fine!! Some people bleed during pregnancy for no reason - I know a few people that have and everything was OK and they have healthy kids now, just listen to what the doctor said and take it easy!

No cleaning, all the best for tomrrow, im sure you and baby are both fine.
