The baby is ok, but it was really scary.... I started bleeding heavily at a restaurant after dinner... I'm out of town. Called my on call OB service and they wanted me to go into the ER to be seen. Soooo we did.... They did blood test, cathed me for urine sample, and did a pelvic exam.... That included me inclined on an upside down bedpan. The nurse practitioner doing the exam kept asking for more things and they ran out of and then he asked the nurse to go get him some forceps. (idk *** he was talking about, I asked him if he meant the kind that you pull a baby out with. He said he wasn't pulling anything out. He was very good at side stepping my questions.) He was trying to clean the blood up on the inside so he could see my cervix.... He was gushing out audibly. He finally got it cleaned up and said my "OS was closed" when they had me move back there was like a dinner plate sized blood area on the sheet, soaked through and had to remake the bed. I was freaking the *** out at point on the inside.

Cut to the u/s- I saw baby moving, waving, kicking... HR was 163. Baby measured fine. I have to go pick the pictures up in the radiology dept on cd tomorrow.

The Nurse Practitioner came in and said that all of my tests came back fine except my blood count was low. I was given no possible reason for this.... He said it couldnt be because of bleeding just from this episode. He said for me to be on pelvic rest and bedrest until I follow up with my OB and see what he says. Once again no possible reason for the bleeding was given, which is sooooo frustrating. I'm still bleeding, and only have panty liners with me. Super.

Anyways, sorry I've been absent. I will catch up. Just keep praying. I will update when I hear or see more.

Update with pictures

Went to get medical records. My hematocrit, hemoglobin, and platelets are low. I will be following up with my OB monday. Radiologist read u/s and said fluid levels were fine, no fetal anomalies, no previa...

Bleeding has slowed, not quite stopped. I've had some crampiness... Not strong tho.



Nub?



Hi mom!



Tech said things weren't formed yet.... Hmmm idk. Also the cord in between there somewhere.

[Hoping4bby]

Praying for you! Sounds like the baby is good though!

[Lucky Mama]

So scary, hon! I'm glad your little one is okay and boppin' around in there. I hope they can figure out the low blood count soon. Rest up and take care of yourself!

[swaddlestar]

OMG, Bri! How terrifying! Glad baby is okay... keep us posted with any news!

[PickyNicki]

Wow! How terrifying for you!! So sorry you are going through this! Thinking of you & hoping they find the cause of your bleeding ASAP!

[A.Sue8]

That's a horrible scary feeling..I know you too where bleeding on and off like me, hopefully that was the big bleed and you won't bleed anymore, after my big bleed at 13 weeks I needed to were pads for 2 weeks bedrest for 3 weeks and after that I never *knocks on wood* bled again even though I always have it in the back of my mind every time I go to the bathroom. My Doctor told me to drink a little under a gallon of water a day and take 600mg of magnesium(blood in the uterus causes cramping and the water and magnesium help speed up the reabsorbtion process and lessen the cramping..) stay positive and hopefully you get all your answers soon!!

[Jmcorso]

Oh no! Prayers to you and baby for a quick recovery......happy baby was waving and kicking! Be well! Xoxox

[Jay Chrysalis]

That does sound scary, but I'm glad to hear baby was waving and putting on a show. Try your best to stay on rest until you see your dcotor. I pray the bleeding ends soon

[JennyBaby2013]

OMGosh!!! How scary

Lots of prayers coming your way. I'm glad you guys are ok. I hope they figure out what is causing the bleed and that it's nothing to worry about.

[Babyschultz]

Oh no how scary that must have been for you. Praying everything is ok and you get some answers from your ob when you get back home.

[LadieBug]

How scary. Glad to hear baby is ok and I hope your follow up with the OB gives you some answers. I'm so sorry you have to go through this!

[Lacey_619]

My gosh, that is scary. You would think they would have some idea where the blood was coming from. Especially since it was a lot. Doctors suck sometimes. I hope that you get some more answers when you can see your doc.

[WENDYLL22]

oh no, sorry you had this happen. So glad baby is well though!!

[rjae84]

Oh my. Glad u and baby are OK.

[marybeth76]

Omg how scary!!! I'm glad you and baby are ok, but I sure wish that doc had had a little more info for you. Ugh. How soon will you see your own doc?

[michellelb]

Bri I would have been freaking out too! Glad you and baby are good and just keep resting til you get to follow up with your OB!

[Jules_loves_beaches]

How scary!! Glad the baby is okay. Get some rest and keep us updated on what your OB says.

[MammaWannaBe]

That is terrifying! I'm so sorry that you seem to be having issues, but glad to hear that it isn't bothering the baby and that he or she is healthy and strong! Rest up and sending lots of prayers your way that they can get to the root cause of this and stop it! Feel better Bri

[LilHerndon]

That is terrifying. Hoping everything with the bean stays perfect and the bleeding stops soon.

[Louise85]

That must have been so incredibly terrifying for you. So glad to hear that your little one is okay!!!
