Feels a bit weird being here, in the TTC pages, after 13 long weeks in the pregnancy pages. I know I'm not the only person in the world to be going through this, it just sort of feels like this at the moment.
5am Sunday morning I woke to go to the toilet, I wiped to find red blood, I rushed to A&E, a midwife came down to see me,and examined me to find my cervix had closed and I had no active bleeding. She organised my anti-D for that afternoon and sent me home to rest for a few hours as I couldn't get it until about 1pm. I went back in for my anti-d, picked up a little bit of shopping and came home. As the evening went on I started getting some real pain, not just the heavy ache I had felt that morning, still not a huge amount of bleeding though. Then I went to the loo and on wiping, found a kind of mucus discharge and a little more blood (still not 100% sure what that was). I went to bed and at about 11.45 I was about to drop off and felt a woosh. I knew the worst had happened then.
OH phoned maternity, simply because we didn't know what to do, I was exactly 13 weeks. They said to go back through A&E. So I met another brilliant A&E nurse, the security guards recognised us from that morning. I got taken straight to Gyne ward, and lets just say met lots more great nurses and doctors as I've been there since! Luckily the whole thing passed without the need for a D&C, though I have had pessaries and tablets. I have bruises and holes all up my arms from many tests, and making it to the loo is now an effort as my blood count is nearly low enough to make them have kept me in a little longer and pumped me full of blood (instead I have large doses of iron)
Now I have to assess how I feel I guess and get used to, well, not being pregnant, and getting started TTC again.
I want to thank my old bump buddy PsycoFalcon and Sarah85 (my hospital buddy as she works in the hospital I was at) who I managed to message of my phone in the middle of Sunday night when I couldn't sleep, and who sent me lovely supportive messages back. Best of luck with your babies girls, you deserve it.....and to all the girls who I've shared my 13 pregnant weeks with xxx
