Unexpected trip to the hospital.

The long weekend was suppose to be relaxing with a hair cut appt. and sushi with a friend. It turned out to be anything but relaxing. Thursday night I started bleeding and had to go to the ER. I immediately called my Dr. who informed me to go to the hospital and my good friend Lindsay who met me at the hospital. Thank goodness I'm over the 20 week mark, so I didn't have to wait in the lobby, I was taken straight to Labor and Delivery. They immediately strapped on the heart and contraction belt. I heard the heart beat right away, so I was able to calm down a little. After waiting about 2 hours the ultrasound techs came up and took pictures. I was informed Radiology would look at them and I should know something within the hour. After about an hour, the nurse came back and told me I had a tear in my placenta and could go home but the Dr. ordered me on bed rest until I could see her next week. Thank goodness, I had dropped Kate off with Justin's mom the day before. I don't know what I would have done with her.
I called first thing Monday morning to get an appt., but my Dr. wasn't in, so I had to wait until today(Tuesday) to see her. I had another ultrasound to see what the placenta looked like. The ultrasound tech couldn't believe, they didn't do a vaginal ultrasound on me, she did both vaginal and stomach. She said I had a moderate case of placenta previa. My placenta is sitting low and with the baby hitting it, is what caused the bleeding. The Dr. said it should move up with time but there still is the possibility of more bleeding. They will check the placenta again at 30 weeks. I am off bed rest and can resume light to moderate activities.
I want to give a HUGE thank you to Lindsay who stayed with me until 1 am-I had to kick her out as she just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Thank you Lindsay for keeping me calm, having positive thoughts and for all of the laughs. You are a great friend!!
Another thank you to Shelly, who informed me my blog was ugly and it needed to be changed-hahaha. So, I gave her my password and told her to get to work. After working for hours on it, she finally fixed my About Me, Friends blogs and Archives to go in the right spot. Now its fixed and looks pretty. Thank you Shelly!!
