In need of thoughts & prayers
Let me start by saying there might be TMI in this and its long. Dh and I spent 4 hours at the ER last night. Around 830 i started bleeding bright red and to me it was more then spotting. I called the on call dr who asked me a few things and sent me off. They got me through registration and took blood and hooked me to an IV.
The dr was a jerk to say the least! He was convinced i was having an ectopic pg. I had talked to my OB about a pain i was having on my right side and she wasnt convinced it was that. Well he was convinced that since she didnt back it up with an ultrasound anything is possible. He kept telling me i was getting a Transvag. ultrasound which i was very against for numerous reasons. They took me down and did an abdominal and we were petrified because until then we had not seen baby. She/he was just chillin and the heart beat was 167. Then the tech tried to wake him/her up and they started wiggling their legs all over.
I started crying immediately. I just felt relief knowing the baby was okay. They kept looking around my ovaries and etc and said everything looked normal. My due date moved back a bit but i expected that and it was exactly the date my chart had said. So im due Feb 19th. So to cut to the chase bloodwork came back normal and ultrasound. The nurse comes in to put in a catheter well i was balling and screaming in pain so they finally let me just do it in a cup like i initially wanted. That takes a few days to come back. The dr comes in and says baby looks great and etc urine be back in a few if you bleed worse then spotting let us know. Well excuse me i know what spotting is but i guess not if thats what they considered that! so i have to call my OB and do a follow up cause we dont know why the bleeding is going on and yes i did have cramping in my back along with it.
I just need some thoughts & prayers. It was a scary and long night for us both.
Re: In need of thoughts & prayers
Good grief - I hope your Dr is able to help you find some answers.
Forgive my ignorance - what is the urine being sent for? I mean... OBVIOUSLY you're pregnant. LOL Catheters are horrible...I realize they're sometimes a necessary evil, but they still suck.
I'm sorry you had such a horrible night and get some answers!
They were looking for any infections or anything which i just had a bladder infection so im concerned that maybe thats it and its getting worse. They had me on antibiotics but i finished them. My advice is you dont want a catheter ever because that was unreal.
I know they suck. Been there, sadly done that.
I also learned that it's difficult to relax enough for it to work and that laughing actually helps. 
Yuck, catheters are no fun.
Keep us posted...you guys will be in my thoughts.
