It all started on Friday

I was driving I my car and I felt gush. I actally thought to myself that I can't belive this pregnancy is causing me to pee my pants. But then I felt another gush and I realized what it was...blood and lots of it. I called my husband and managed to tell him what was happening so he raced home. I was so freaked out - I was hyperventalating and thought this was the end. We called my OB and the nurse called back and told us to go to the ER becasue I probably needed a D&C. Really - way to think positive. I was shocked she assumed the worst. After 6 hours at the ER I had an US and the baby looked great - thank god. The ER said that it looked like I had a low lying placenta and that was probably the cause of the bleed. She put me on bed rest for the weekend and sent me on my way. I spent the weekend on the couch and only got up to pee. On Monday I went to my OB. They did another US and said that they don't know what the ER saw but I don't have a low placenta, I have a placenta abruption. The placenta has sperated from the Uterus wall and there was a pool of blood. They refered me to a Level 2 US that I had on Tuesday. The Doctor at the level 2 place is very concerned with the amount of seperation. My placenta is shaped like a ball instead of a half moon because of the seperation. She is concerned that the baby will not get enough neutrients from the placenta. It's now a wait and see game...another tww until my next US. I will lay here as long as it takes if it means there will not be any additional seperation and my baby is healthy. I am so freaked out. Please keep my baby in your prayers - we sure need them right now.

  34. How did I miss this post??? I read the title and thought, "This can't be good." I'm so sorry, friend. I'm really hoping bed rest does the trick to help the situation. You are so loved and we are all by your side. Just love on your little one and pray over your child. I will be praying, too. That is not a situation anybody wants to be in, but God is watching over you and your child. Trust Him. Lots of love!!!
