L&D visit after my dog jumped on my stomach - advice please!

[Kimberlee_20]

This morning getting out of bed, my german shepherd got excited that I was up, and he jumped up and pushed off from my stomach, it hurt, but I just woke up and I didn't realize how much it hurt, so I waited for DH to leave for work, and I had two contractions after he left, so I layed down and drank some water to see if they would stop. I fell asleep for about an hour and I woke up with cramping, and I had a pad on, which had a little spot of pink on it. I called L&D and they had me come in and put me on the monitor, they said the baby looked fine on it, but they still sent me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound tech was quiet the WHOLE time, and when she was measuring the fluid, there didn't look like there was very much at all, and then she typed at the bottom of one of the pictures to show the radiologist "R/O Evidence of abruption" I have NO idea what the R/O means, but I completely freaked out. I went back to L&D after my ultrasound and she said everything looked great and I could go home. Wouldn't they tell me/HAVE to tell me if they thought something life threatening to my baby was going on? And what could the R/O mean? Could it just mean that's what they were worried about since the dog jumped on my stomach and they wanted the radiologist to check if he thought there was any evidence of abruption? Any advice would be appreciated!

R/O would be rule out.  You can ask your Dr. but the tech was likely noting that there was no evidence of abruption, it was ruled out.
