Hi all, just thought I'd give you an update on my weekend. It's a long one so you will probably need a sleep by the end!!
As you know I was ill the weekend before with the flu and was rushed to hospital but released, nothing could prepare me for the scare that was to come this weekend.
My bfriends brother was up from Glossop, which was nice, and we were due to go out on Sat night, woke up on sat morning, no pain etc and went for a wee, as I turned to pull the flush what a fright I got, I had done a wee which looked like the colour of cranberry juice.
Upset, I went and lay on my bed, mum came through and I asked her if it was normal to have blood in urine during pregnancy, she said no, and didn't expect to see the extent when I showed her. I phoned the ante natal ward crying my eyes out nad they told me to get straight up and pack an over night bag.
I was devastated, on arrival they asked for a specimen and were shocked to see the colour, they asked if i had clots which I did only started tho, and told me that I could be loosing the baby. Just to fill you in I was 23 weeks exactly on Sat, and knew if I had of been 24 they could save the baby.
They put the doppler on and the baby's heart was pounding away, but they told me my placenta could of dropped. I was taken into a little private room and put on a drip, I was an emotional wreck, as I knew at this stage if the baby was dying/dead I would have to give birth to it and it wouldn't be just like a heavy period.
Anyway throughout Sat night the bleeding was still there evertime I done a wee, still had no pain etc. Couldn't get an internal as they thought it would be too dangerous. On Sunday morning the bleeding eventually stopped and I begged to get out of hosp. The Consultant told me that they had no idea where it was coming from and said that I should get an internal today (sun) I did, there was no bleeding coming from the neck of the womb and all looked okay.
Had a scan yesterday to see where the placenta was lying and it was fine and so is the baby. Little terror it is, cause I have had such a rough ride so far.
So now I am awaiting the results of the urine tests I done on Sat, and they still have no idea where it came from. They don't seem to realise how much a worry and strain that the whole bleeding thing is on a pregnant woman.
As I write this I am getting emotional as I thought I was another statistic on Saturday, and realise now, how much I want to be a mummy.
Sorry for the long story, but please if you have any scares at all get to hospital straight away, cause the life that is growing inside you is so precious, and I wouldn't wish miscarriage or scares on anyone.
Big hugs to you all xxxx
