Limbo is over :(

Last night started light cramping. Was able to sleep and woke this morning with more severe cramping. DH is using a leave day to watch the kiddos. I Started gushing with clots. It was like peeing blood from my uterus. I have a history of PP hemorrhage and hemorrhaged after my 2003 loss. Drove to the nearest ER but the hospital portion was closed because they just built a new one a 30min drive north, so D&C isn't possible here. With my history and considering I soaked one pad just walking from the car, I was taken straight back.

Got the big ass IV, got pain Meds which don't take the edge off cramps, but make me hazy enough in between to rest. Just got ultrasound. Waiting on full results but obviously miscarrying. They're not even bothering with the pads anymore as I'd have to change every 10min. Every time I move I pass golf-ball to plum sized clots which they say are huge. It's straight up Carrie in here. I'm not allowed to get up except to pee and with an escort (poor housekeeping! I'm pretty much covered in blood from the top of my butt crack to my knees, so um... the seat and floor in the head get covered any time I gotta pee.) I'm on my second gown and I've gone through 6 pads in the first hour (maternity pads and mesh undies are a JOKE) and then like 8 puppy pad things. Right now they're just trying to keep me comfortable and dry (another joke). I have to breathe through the cramps but am able to keep a sense of humor with the staff the rest of the time. There's not much dignity to be had in this situation. Going to see if they're going to give me the magic stop bleeding meds like after delivery. Obviously can't go home until bleeding is under control. This isn't even remotely under control now. If bleeding can't get under control I'll need to get taken to the new hospital for a D&C. Not sure if ambulatory or if they'll want DH to drive. In any event. I can't drive my car home today. Not an option with the meds.

** Doc just came in, fetal sac is causing pressure on cervix, obviously no cardiac activity. He's calling to consult at the big hospital now to try and get me referred for a D&C to get bleeding under control.
