Terrible night...and now on bedrest

mefsta777

At 10pm last night i called the afterhrs line for my dr and told them about my terrible cramping and paralyzing back pain. they said to go to the ER right away. when i got there, of course i had to wait, was told to give a urine sample, and thats when it when soo wrong. went in to give it, blood poured out of me, on the floor, my panties, filled the toilet bowl. i couldnt even move, i was screaming in pain. i couldve sworn i had a miscarriage, and finally, 5 hours later ( their proiorities are terrible) i got an ultrasound. luckily and very happily, the baby is healthy for now. and a girl!!! and after a total of 8 hours in the ER, i finally got to see the doctor. placenta abruption, bedrest. *sigh* i am 18weeks pregnant, i dont know how many people have been put on BR this early, and made it pretty full term. id like to know though. this was certainly a painful, sad night for me. but i hope and pray that BRing will give a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.

So sorry dear! What a horrid night!

I can't imagine that you'll go the full 40 weeks, just because it seems like in this case they try to take baby out asap, but GL and hope things get better from here on out.

Also, congrats on the little girl!

My friend had horrible placenta previa and was on bed rest that early. She had a perfect baby boy. They even let her have a few weeks in the middle of all of that where she could get up and move around.

Take special care of your back. My friend who was on bedrest that long had terrible back problems when she finally had the baby. I would suggest consulting a physical therapist.

How terrifying!  I'm so sorry that you had to go through that but, glad to hear that you and the baby are okay right now. I'l be sending prayers that the abrubtion heals (is that the right term?) and that all is well soon. Take care of yourself!

Oh no! I'm sorry that happened at all, but I'm glad it wasn't a worse situation!! Resting is the best thing you can do for yourself. I hope you're feeling better very soon! Best of luck!!!

I sympathize with you. I was put on pelvic rest at 15 weeks because of a small placental abruption so I know how scary it can be. On a good note, I'm now almost 24 weeks and it's almost completely healed itself and my LO is just fine. I'm still not allowed to work because the doctors think my job could make it worse again (i do a lot of manual labor) but that's fine with me, I'm enjoying my time at home growing my LO.

So don't worry, just follow what the doctors say and you and your LO will most likely be just fine.

Oh goodness! Praying for your dear. What a nightmare!

Hang in there.  I have a friend who had to be put on bedrest at 17 weeks for both of her pg's.  She has two beautiful, healthy girls.  She went near full term for both. 

Take care of yourself.

Yikes- so scary for you. I am glad your LO is okay. Try to think positive and take care!!

BlueEyedBaby

Oh no!! I'm so glad that baby and you are OK though! My friend had this same kind of thing happen to her at about 23 weeks and was on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy and she now has a great 6 year old boy!!

What a horrible experience!  Thank God your baby girl is okay.  Best of luck with the bedrest.

Oh my gosh Im so sorry how scary that must have been for you.  I know with any pain I get scared I couldnt imagine how you felt but Im so glad she is okay.  It might be hard being on bedrest that early but worth it to have a healthy baby.  Congrats on the girl, buying stuff is so much fun!

mefsta777

thank you everyone for the well wishing. i guess i just needed some reassurance that everything will, praying, be okay. i appreciate everyones comments!!

I found out I had a marginal previa at 16 weeks, I had some bleeding and cramping that was worse when I was standing so I was on bedrest. 

I was released to go back to work 3 weeks later..and I worked for 2 weeks, then I had an abruption as well.  Their was so much blood, just like you said.  More blood than I had ever seen.  It was everywhere.  I was on hospital bedrest for 2 days and then I came home, bedrest for 2 weeks.  Then my placenta moved up! 

The same week I noticed I felt baby REALLY high up, so I guess my uterus moving up 2 inches above my belly button pulled the placenta up as well.

Good luck.

Oh no! How terribly scary for you. I don't have any insight to offer, but just wanted to say my thoughts are with you and the LO.
