Scary Night :(

MrsVo · September 2011

I promise to try and stop talking about my mucous plug soon but I just need to get this out. I posted previously that I was loosing pieces of it starting Monday and was checked Tuesday and all was still well with my cervix but I was told to call back if a variety of other things happened, including bleeding. Well last night I lost what I believe to be the rest of it complete with blood

I don't think I've ever been so scared in my whole life. The bleeding wasn't much and it stopped quickly so the on call Dr told me I didn't need to go to L&D unless it started up again or I was having more contractions. And of course my husband has been out of town all week but thankfully my mother came over and stayed with me so I could get some sleep and not just freak out all night.

My next NST/ cervical check is Thursday. I'm wondering at what point bed rest will be brought up? Is that strictly for Pre-E symptoms and cervical changes? I guess I just want to be prepared mentally for whatever may be coming.

Thanks Trish

I'm so sorry. That is really scary

I guess I would not be surprised if bed rest was brought up at this point. If it comes to that, you will be able to do it! Its hard but you ate strong! I'll be keeping you in my T&Ps. (((HUGS))

I'm so sorry MrsVo, I know how scary it is. I lost my plug at 26 weeks, the on call doc told me the same thing yours did so I waited until my next u/s which was 3 days later. They did discover that my cervix had shortened a bit & I was contracting more frequently than I thought. I was put on modified bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and made it to 34 weeks.

I would prepare yourself for bed rest & I would try and get an appointment sooner than next Thursday, or at least take it VERY easy until then.

Good luck! I hope your LO's stay cooking for many more weeks!

Thank you Etoyama!! I've been thinking about your situation a lot and how you went through this and it came out just fine. It really does help to calm my nerves.

I don't have any experience but I just wanted to give you hugs and say I hope everything is OK. I think they do bed rest for things like that so they might bring it up but hopefully everything will look great and it won'tbe an issue!

Thank you! I think I will call the nurse today just to check in and see if they can see me sooner.

No answers here either. Sending out T&Ps that everything is okay!

steveandkim2 · September 2011

Lots of T&Ps for you...Please keep us posted.

That sounds really scary - I agree with trying to move your u/s sooner and I would assume they might start talking about bedrest. ((hugs))

halo_tx · September 2011

I don't have any advice but I wanted to say T&P's that everything will be OK!!!

MrsRumpf · September 2011

Oh the scary-ness!

I hope all is well with you and that DH gets home soon to comfort you!

If they say bedrest--so be it. I was expecting it by this point! Ahh multiples. . .

Hang in there sweets! ((HUGS))

I totally understand freaking out BUT, if it makes you feel better, at my childbirth class this week the teacher kept talking about how losing your mucous plug does not mean labor is imminent. Your mucous plug can regrow.

I think the most important thing is that your cervix was good this week - if it was even questionable they wouldn't have let you leave or would have talked bedrest. My OB also told me that if your cervix is "long and closed" the chances of you going into labor in the next 2 weeks is very slim - about the same as a negative fFn (which is a possible test they could do to make you feel better).

I hope everything is ok, thinking of you!

MrsVo · September 2011

Thanks again ladies! I spoke with the nurse and they are still comfortable waiting until Thursday for a re-check so long as nothing changes between now and then. I was given strict orders to call the on-call Dr if anything changes over the weekend so I will be sure to do that. I'm also going to be putting my self on "couch rest" for most of the weekend and doing as little as possible just in case.

mikeandangie · September 2011

(((hugs))) That must be so scary! I don't have any advice, but I hope everything turns out ok.

Sounds like a great plan, it can't hurt rigth?
Lots of T&P. Hoping the extra rest does the trick.
