MANDATORY BED REST!!

Last night was not a good night.  Around 8pm I started bleeding (candy apple red).  I freaked out because seeing that to me was  the equivelant to when I saw the Exorcist.  It scared me so much.  I immediately called the doc on call (who is the one I dislike) of course.  He says that most of the time it is nothing to worry about and for me to lay down and if it is still there tomorrow to call for an appointment.  He made a point on that and said NOT to walk in.  What an ass.  I am here freaking out thinking I could be losing my baby and he wants me to book an appointment?  Screw you asshole.  To say the least I did not get any sleep. Got up at 7am and my situation had not changed.  My clinic is about an hour away and I arrived today about 8:45am.  And my luck the doc on call last night is the same doc doing all the US this am.  Dr Aholes nurse told me he was too busy to see me and that he had told me to call.  My regular RE would be  in around 10am and I could wait.  Well my docs nurse called him at home and he came in for me.

Prognosis is very good.  On the US we saw the hematoma and the bleeding which is not near the baby.  He explained this can happen as the blood vessels swell some can break lose. He increased my PIO and added endometrin suppositories twice per day.  He said this should calm the uterus and help with the bleeding and mandated bed rest for 1 week!

Oh yeah, I did mention a baby didn't I?  Well the baby measured 6wks 0 days (right on the money) and it's little heartbeat was at 108 beats per minute.  It sounded so loud. The nurse said at this stage they are happy with anything over 90.   It was such a relief to see it and hear it.  It makes it a lot more real.  I got some pics.  I have scanned my little pea but not sure how to get it into the blog yet.  Prayers are welcome.  I am resting and trying to be a good girl to help my little pea grow.

so glad it all turned out ok. I was so worried reading your post. Hope you get lots of bed rest and have fun books, movies and TEVO to keep you company whilst on bed rest!
