ffs. I'm about to cry!!!

SarahTx5701 · October 2010

I am so tired of this you guys!!!

They want me to go back to L&D. I'm seroiusly going to show up, they will check it, it will be nothing, AGAIN.

I hate not having an explanation but I'm really tired of seeing blood. I'm half not trusting these military doctors. I think they brush you off, no one did any sort of ultrasound last time. Just a vag exam, swab and that was it.

Would you consider one gush of blood period like? They told me to go back to L&D if it was period like bleeding. I would consider it to be a light day. My flow is always pretty light anway. I dont know! I call and then it just stops out of no where, until the next day!

I'm so sick of this!!!!! I'm on the verge of tears. My dh is great and says he'll go with me as many times and we need to and not to worry, but I cant help feeling like I'm crying wolf here!

I hate this. I'm not going until after I get off work.

Dude, tell your DH to call up there and pull rank, and that you need an ultrasound!

JK ... I know that won't work, but it's nice to dream, right? I'm sorry you're having to go through all this

i am so sorry for all of this!! I would DEMAND an U/S just to see the baby and make sure all is ok... i will be praying for you!

I'm so sorry. I don't think it sounds as if you're crying wolf, I think anybody in your position would feel the same way. I know I'd be worried too.

Molluskwrangler · October 2010

I would go hon, I know it sucks and I know not having an answer sucks too, I'm in the same boat as far as that is concerned.

Like I said before my moms an RN and said she'd suggest getting it checked out. Especially if it's bright red and the gushing should be looked at too, that's different then spotting.

You are not overreacting/crying wolf/being a baby, you have a legitimate reason to be worried or upset and you have every right to have it checked on.

What would you tell someone else to do if they had the same problem?

Hyfagal · October 2010

I'm so sorry hon. I know this sucks but I would go in. You don't want to avoid going in because you're unsure and have it get worse.

Personally I would say it's period like. When I spot is a drop or two at a time, never gushes. Gushes are period-like to me.

LMAO- too bad SSgt doesn't get you much rank when your talking to O-4's and above!! hahaha

kappanole · October 2010

definitely go! and ask for an ultrasound. usually the L&D does an ultrasound every time there is blood...at least at my hospital. Maybe if you make nice with the ER doc? Good luck!

Hey, there is ALWAYS a smaller fish in the pond. Promise Although dad is a retired colonel ... so it might be a little different, lol.

Regardless, you should go, and you should make a fuss over an ultrasound. Seriously.

JerkStore213 · October 2010

Aw, that sucks. Didn't you say you soaked through a pad? I'd say that's a little more than spotting. You should bring the pad and if they give you any sh*t you should slap it down on the counter. In all seriousness though I hope everything turns out fine.

spursgirl10 · October 2010

I would go. Just to be safe. It sucks but it will be worth it. Also on a side note, my aunt bled her whole pregnancy with my cousin. It was a long time ago but I always keep it in the back of my mind so I know it's not unheard of to bleed.

FutureMrsCaesar · October 2010

Sorry you are having to deal with this...again. I agree with some others, I would be demanding (or at least making a big stink) for an u/s this time. I know I would want some explaination for the bleeding and you would think that the Drs would too.

Oh and yes, any gush of blood is 'period like' in my book. You are becoming a little desensitized to the blood because you've seen so much this pregnancy, but I that is definitely something to see a Dr for.

GL...let us know...hang in there. No one thinks you are crying wolf...when I had to go to L&D with DS they kept me all day never found anything. It happens!

Sheas · October 2010

It is perfectly understandable to be upset over this! Hang in there sweetie. You really should tell them that you want an u/s. It would probably help ease the situation to see LO in there doing just fine!!!

Good Luck and lots of T&P coming your way!!!

tulips12_30 · October 2010

YOU ARE NOT CRYING WOLF!!!! I know everthing is OK, that little one is just a stinker. Please keep us posted...even more hugs being sent your way.

This, definitely. I know it's totally gross, but I in all honesty would actually do this. That way they have an exact visual of what you're talking about and aren't discounting what you say as prego paranoia. I think you are well within your rights to want an ultrasound or at the VERY LEAST a listen with the doppler each and every time you go in for bleeding. If you think you aren't getting the care you need at the military hospital, is there a non-affiliated one near you that you could go to (not in the military myself, so not entirely sure how your insurance works so that may not even be a valid suggestion)? Big hugs and prayers for you!!!

yourmom5309 · October 2010

You have every right to be frustrated and upset. Can you insist on an u/s? Also, if you have a semi-light flow normally, tell them that your bleeding is similar to your period consistency. You are not crying wolf, so don't beat yourself up. You have every right to make sure that you and LO are ok. GL mama. T & P your way.

TiffanyTheMom · October 2010

I'd say they'd surely give you an u/s- that's the only way they can rule out placental abruption.

AshasaurusRex · October 2010

It doesn't seem like you're crying wolf at all, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this! I think you should refuse to leave until they give you an u/s, did they at least check the heart beat last time? I'll be praying for you!

magdalina.h · October 2010

I'm sorry. I don't think you're crying wolf. Tell them that you want an u/s or else if something bad happens that it won't be the last time they hear from you. I'll keep you in my prayers
