Took Micah to swimming lessons and of course Caleb and Julia went too. Afterward we went to the mall to look for some Pj's for everyone. Decided to eat lunch at the mall. We had a good time and mommy felt fine. However, I drove into the driveway and sneezed really hard. I thought I had drippled in my pants a tiny bit; however, I drove the car into the garage and I felt really wet. Like I was getting more wet by the minute. Got everyone out of the car and then I went to the bathroom. I was SHOCKED, TERRIFIED, and DEVASTATED. I had BRIGHT, red blood covering my entire underwear and it soaked through to my jeans, which were also soaked. I started to cry, thinking the worst. I thought I was losing you-my baby. I had been sick with a really bad cold, and coughed really hard all week. I also stopped being nauseous a couple days ago, which worried me.
I called my mom your grandma first. She said call my dr and put my feet up. Called dr office and got the receptionist who put me to the phone nurse. She wouldn't answer, it was lunch time. So I got the receptionist again and said I NEED to talk to someone its an emergency. She put me on hold and spoke with a dr who said go to the ER.
Tried to call Daddy but he was out to lunch. So I told them to tell him I went to the ER. My mom, your grandma got to our house pretty quickly. Your cousins watched your siblings while I went to the ER. Again it was lunch time so it seemed hardly anyone was around and it was slow. Got admitted and I felt like I was about to leak from my pad. Finally got to the room. I told the nurse I needed a pad. And yep, I was right the pad was full. The nurse said that wasn't good. Duh, I already knew that. Told her everything and then waited for what seemed like forever. Daddy finally called and arrived at the ER shortly after. He made it before the dr came.
Dr said lets do ultrasound first and go from there. I forgot to mention I had no cramping which was a good sign. My emotions were all over the place. I didn't want to lose you but I figured I couldn't do anything about it. It was strange because I had peace but yet I was anxious. I thought I felt a tiny flutter right before the dr came in with the little ultrasound machine. He stood in front of the machine so I couldn't see it. This was a scary moment of truth. Well to our great surprise you were still alive and had a heartbeat. That was a big sense of relief but now to find out why all this red bleeding.
Next, I was wheeled off to another room with a big ultrasound machine. The tech didn't say much which I knew she couldn't. I asked if you were on track for growth and she did say yes. I had to go to the bathroom really bad. So went back to the room and asked the nurse if I could go. She said yes and then I waited, and waited, and finally my mom went and got them again. I had to be wheeled out to the bathroom and they wanted a urine sample. (Dr wondered about infection).
Dr came back in and wanted to do a pelvic check to see if cervix was open or closed. So this was another big moment of truth. Thankfully it was still CLOSED. Dr left and eventually came back to tell me I had a hematoma that was 5cm. I never knew anything about a hematoma so he explained it a bit and then told me to do nothing the rest of the day and see my OB tomorrow.
