I'm surprised after your post on 3rd tri, that you are still here. Did you go to L&D?? I'd get off the computer and get my butt down there ASAP if you haven't already.

Re: Muddin_Lil_Sis
I'm quite annoyed at her nonchalant attitude about the whole thing.
And I'd seriously hope that everyone else around these parts has the brains to know that bleeding and cramping are a big flucking deal. Enough of a big deal to get your butt to L&D via taxi if need be.
Yeah, me too. I wanted to reach through the monitor and smack her! I think *most* of us around here know better. I have no problem "bothering" my doctor, especially if I am bleeding!

I am annoyed also, this is the wellbeing of her baby we are talking about. Everyone on 3rd tri was so nice and I could barely hold back the snark. This type of attitude bothers me, I dont care if you dont like the doctor, if somethings wrong you have to go. Period. Hate to say but Id rather this be MUD than to think of her still sitting at home...
I wouldn't be waiting for my DH to get home...I'd be knocking on the neighbor's door and calling L&D on the way to let them know I'm coming.
PLEASE tell me that you've left. Bleeding at 28 weeks is pretty much an emergency...
Nah, it's no biggie. I mean, she'll be fine in an hour, right??
:headdesk:
This exactly! I hope her DH rushed home to take her, because she certainly seemed in no hurry to go.
I have seen other evidence pointing to the latter.

Dang it, Lisa, you quoted me. I was feeling guilty for saying that...
If you don't have something nice to say, it can never be edited once quoted.
I feel sorry for my husband, I don't know her lyfe! I just hope she went to the hospital and that everything is okay.

She replied to the 3rd tri post and said she answered the poll while waiting to be admitted. I'm pretty sure I would be freaking the fark out if I were at the hospital waiting to be admitted and, oh yeah, BLEEDING.
Muddin- I really hope everything is ok with your baby. I think you need to be taking this situation way more seriously.
I saw that response
Holy cow...don't really know what to say. I did got to L&D; we live an hour away, and they didn't have a room to put me in right way, so yes, I was on here trying to keep from freaking out. DH was doing enough of that for the both of us. Not that any of you really care, but here's a recap of what happened.

BTW OP-your concern about me touches my heart. It's so nice to come home after being through all this crap only to find this LOVELY post about me.
Yeah, same here.
You really thought you wasted your time by going to the ER for bleeding and cramping?? You get a huge side eye from me, Muddin.
Seriously.
Muddin, you came home with the peace of mind that your LO is okay. I'm sorry, but if I were bleeding from the vajayjay and having severe cramping at 28 weeks I would be terrified that my baby was dying...because that is what happens when your baby dies or is in terrible distress.
I'm sorry, but your trip to L&D was not a "total waste of time" and the condition is something that needed to be brought to your OB's attention ASAP anyway.
I am very glad my LO and I are both okay. What I was very frustrated with was the fact that the on call doc that I saw was not concerned with why I came in. I came in for severe abdominal cramps and bleeding. When she did my vag exam, I was not bleeding then. DH and I kept telling the nurse and on call doc that the cramps were very painful (as I lay there in tears) and all they would say was "you arent having contractions, you are fine." THAT is why I was pissed off with the whole ordeal. I get anxiety and panic attacks and if I let myself get all worked up an freaked out, I'll have the attacks and it makes things worse. So, no, I was not non-shalaunt about the episoe, just trying to keep myself calm and not have any panic attacks.
The only reason I asked in my original post about waiting or calling was because I read on here so much about people having a symptom and go in and its a normal thing; then they post about it and everyone flames them for "duh, thats a normal thing." (obviously, hind sight is 20/20, but I did atleast search through previous posts made to see if anyone recently had asked the same question). My doc has never given me a list or told me things to call or not call about. So if it was somehting normal, I didn't wanna have to call and be a bother. This is my first pregnancy so everything is new for me, so yes, I may seem like an idiot as LisaFrank has so generously pointed out several times, but I just don't know everything like the rest of you super mommies.
I think the problem was how nonchalant you sounded in your OP. You said "I just hate going to the doctor" like the inconvenience of it outweighed the health of your baby. Plus, you said you were going to give it an hour. It was bleeding. If you've seen the countless posts about silly things people have gone to L&D for, how have you missed the important ones? Generally, whenever someone asks "Should I call my doctor?" the responses are "Are you bleeding?"
I didn't see anyone claiming to be a super mommy. Just showing common sense.
You said in the post you linked to that they told you to come back in if you had severe abdominal pain, which you were having at the time. What did they say when you said, "That's why I'm here." Still just send you home?
Yep, hence my frustration.
