31 weeks

I was going to make a good post today about reaching my birth date last pregnancy and about my growth scan that was suppose to be done today but I can't.

I woke up at 4:30 this morning to pee. Noticed my pj bottoms were wet. At first I thought great I am bleeding again but it wasn't red so then I thought great I peed my pants when I need to collect every drop of urine for the 24hr test. Then when I went to the toilet that was bright red blood. I immediately woke dh up and tried throwing on clothes to drive over to the local hospital but my car was frozen so instead of spending 5 min trying to scrap it I called 911. Of course then it took the ambulance 15 min to show up and then another 15 min inside to get an iv and everything in. And all this time I didn't feel any mom cement so I was freaking out.

When I arrived at the hospital 45 min later (the hospital is only a few min drive away) my heart rate was in the 140s and my pressures were high. At first they didn't know if they were picking up mine or the baby's heart rate since I was so tachycardia. Luckily they finally distinguished between the 2 and I felt the baby move. One of the women from my lost group lost her son this way so it was a big relief to know the baby was still alive.

It took an hour for my heart rate to come down and my pressures were normal lying down. I passed a quarter sized clot 2 hours later when going to the bathroom again. After that the bleeding slowed down and the baby was responding well on the moniters but because I am seen in Providence they then transferred me over there for further care so by 8 this morning I was in my 2nd ambulance of the day.

At Providence they did the same thing again. The bleeding was now spotting. Finally at 11 they told me that I was going to be admitted again for continuous monitoring so that is how things stand right now.

I have to be on the moniters 24 hours a day, they don't know the cause of the bleeding, I didn't get an u/s since I missed growth scan appt, and I don't know how long I will be in here for. To make mattrs worse a client called this morning so now I have to call them back since I likely will not be working until April now. I can't take the risk even if I get out of the hospital. Yesterday was the first day in the past month that I went shopping since I need to do things (buy stuff for the hospital and put money in the bank to pay the bills) and I seriously wonder if that is why this happened.

My urine is also in the lab so hopefully I will find out the results soon on if I have PE or not. Of course I don't know how accurate the sample I'd now with blood in it and if I did pee my pants overnight. I asked at St Luke's if it could be my water but the doctor says no because my cervix is closed so we shall see.

This is not how I had envisioned reaching 31 weeks! Oh we'll guess I can be happy that I am not delivering today like last time.
