Update on bleeding

This may be long so bear with me. I'm a very detailed person so I like to give all the details. Anyway I called the on-call doctor for the progesterone script, called DH and told him to come home. When he got home his mom called and asked if she could come over to help me with the girls. I said, "I don't know!" though I'm pretty sure it was incoherent and she just said, "I'm coming over" and hung up. She lives 5 blocks away, thank goodness.

So when she got there hubby ran to get the prescription which took 1 1/2 hours. My MIL made me lay on the couch with pillows under my hips and my little girls climbed all over me and we watched Little Orphan Annie. Well my MIL did some cleaning and kept giving me water so I kept having to get up to pee.

I STOPPED bleeding, even before I got the progesterone. The bleeding itself was dark red and pink (NOT bright red). I had no cramps or back pain. And I still don't have anymore bleeding but I'm still being a huge worry-wart. I tried so hard and for so long for our baby to be taken away.

Hubby stayed home today and made me stay in bed. But now I'm up and about and things appear okay. I put on maternity jeans for the first time this morning. I think all will be well but I thought for sure it was over. I went into the furthest room in our house, my laundry room, and shut the door and screamed. I'm about to call my doctor now to see if she wants to see me early or do an ultrasound or something.

I'm so glad your bleeding stopped, when my bleeding stopped i had brown discharge for about a week so even though i had an u/s i was sure my baby had passed after the u/s. I think when you've lost a baby and/or tried hard to get pregnant you can't help but think the worse. Take it easy and let your family care for you
