Threatened M/C, 6 hours in ER

[mami2karina]

Well, I had some brick red spotting for a few hours yesterday and it stopped so I wasn't worried.  I woke up this morning around 11AM and went to the bathroom and I was bleeding bright red blood, not spotting, there was a lot of blood, it soaked through my panties and was in my bed when I went back to look.  I through on some clothes and rushed to the ER.  I was there for 6 hours!  They did some bloodwork, said my hCG was 51,419 and they couldn't find the hb with the doppler but my OBGYN said that's not unusal for being 12 weeks pg.  They refused to do an u/s to see if my baby is okay, they just diagnosed me with a threatened m/c and told me to go to my first prenatal appt on Wed and my doc will run more blood tests to see if my hCG is going up, down or staying the same.  So I just have to wait?  What in the world did I do in this life to deserve the **** that happens to me?  I don't understand.  By the time they saw me, 3.5 hours after checking in the bleeding and cramping had pretty much stopped, it's stopped now thank God, but I'm still worried.  I have an u/s at the clinic scheduled for Wed morning, so I guess we'll see then.  But I don't think I can wait 2 whole days, this is killing me.

So far the pain and bleeding are gone.  But it's so hard not to worry.  I just can't believe they wouldn't do an u/s to make sure my baby is okay.  They told me "we don't know if your baby is okay or not, just wait until Wednesday".  Do they have any idea how hard that is???  Sometimes I don't think men have a clue.  I'm feeling better.  They didn't put me on bedrest, they just told me no sex, to follow up with my doc on Wednesday and to drink lots of fluid.  The bleeding wasn't a whole lot, not sure exactly how much, but it was all in my panties and in the toilet when I got up.  I felt some cramping in the night, but didn't think anything of it.  They figure it only lasted a little while, but it has completely stopped so they aren't really concered.  I'm just worried, but I'm praying everything will be fine.  Like I said, the bleeding has stopped so that's really good news.  I just hope I can make it until Wednesday.

Wow I'm sorry you had to go through all of that.  I really hope things get better.  Try to stay positive even though I know it's hard.

Good luck.

Try to stay positive, though I know it's difficult.  My best friend went through the SAME thing, on top of that her water started to leak.....on my couch, but she was put on bedrest for awhile, and delivered a full term, healthy baby boy this past December 30th..........I'm sending up a prayer for you, and just suggest to take it easy for now...............GOOD LUCK, keep us posted.

Try to think positive is right.  With my son, I started bleeding like crazy at 15 weeks and this is after I lost the twin at 7 weeks.  I was at work and felt this gush and when I went to the bathroom the blood was dripping out of me.  I went to the hospital and they did an ultrasound and my son was fine!!!!!!!  Actually, that is when I found out we were having a boy.  By then I had a home monitor and could hear my baby's heartbeat and so I told them to get me a monitor.  At first the nurse said no, but I told him I would scream until I got one!  So I let loose  with a big scream and he ran and got one and I heard my baby's heartbeat right away!!! LOL!!!  So try to think positive....I just had light pink discharge today  and had an ultrasound to check on things and they say baby is ok.....I know it's scary and hard, but good to see that we have all of this support!!!  Let us know how things go!

This is so scary for you, I know. It happened to me and unfortunately the outcome was not good. If they told you strict bedrest, listen to them. I did not, fully. I got up in the am and went into work for a couple of hrs just to clear my desk off in case I would be out for a while. I wonder now if I stayed in bed if the outcome would have been different. I would definitely stayed in bed if I knew how serious. I pray everything is ok for you. Please take it VERY easy.
