Another trip to the hospital
My weekend consisted of me being in the hospital once again. I started bleeding Sat. morning, so I called the Dr on call and she told me to come in. I went in about 9 am and was told I would be staying for 23 hours. I thought I misunderstood the nurse and said "for 2 to 3 hrs" and she said no, for 23 hours. Later that night, I had some more bleeding, and the Dr on call, told me I wouldn't be going home until my Dr saw me Monday morning. Sunday night, early Monday the baby's heartbeat kept dropping, so I was hooked up to an IV and had to have the heartbeat and contraction monitor on me constantly, not to mention I was confined to using a bedpan(not the easiest thing to use). In the 3 days I spent in the hospital, I had 2 ultrasounds. Both showed no placenta previa-which is a good thing. It did show the umbilical cord was between the baby's head and my cervix, which might have been the reason for the bleeding. The umbilical cord and the baby might have been hitting old blood vessels. Since, the baby was having a consistent heartbeat for 24 hours, my Dr released me, with instructions to take it very easy. Once again, Kate wasn't with me, she was spending the week with grandparents. I don't know what I would have done, if I had had her. The last 72 hours have been emotionally draining, not knowing what was going on and not having Justin with me. Fingers crossed and prayers said, it doesn't happen again.
