So yesterday was the best day of my life I married the love of my life, I was getting ready to leave to go back home the next day(today) and I was going to tell my mom I was having her first grandchild. Well the middle of the night rolls around and I'm having worse cramps and I go to the bathroom and there is blood. Red blood. I am having the worse cramps ever in my lower back and uterus and I feel like I'm going to vomit. everywhere. I called the hospital because it is like 2am and who else do you call? They immediately tell me my pregnancy is no longer viable(phone diagnosis) and they tell me there's nothing they can do because it's so early and a miscarriage is untreatable...that I will be fine and that unless the bleeding threatens my life that I should just continue throughout my day. CONTINUE THROUGHOUT MY DAY. I get it I'm overly emotional- hell I'm an absolute wreck- but I just woke up to blood when I was hoping to wake up to my new husband and to kiss him goodbye so I could drive 20 hours to see my family and tell them that in July I would be meeting the other love of my life and I'm just wondering how and I supposed to continue throughout my day?

If you can you may want to postpone your trip by a few days. If you can get in to see your OB/primary and have things checked you probably want to be in town for that. I also can't imagine that you feel like driving 20 hours after the night you had. My family is a 15 hour drive away so I'm used to the long drives to see family and I can absolutely 100% say I'd wait a day (or more) to go. Those long drives are hard enough when you're well rested and not that upset.
As some others have said, it is possible to having bleeding and it still be a viable pregnancy. My primary care doctor told me "no bleeding is the best sign but if you have some spotting or bleeding try not to get too upset over it right away. It could mean something is wrong or it could be something that isn't a big deal. Always tell me or your OB about any bleeding though so someone can look into it."
T&P with you, your new DH and your baby. I hope everything works out for all 3 of you and that baby ends up being okay.
