Some of you lovely ladies have already read this on FB....I woke up this morning at 5.30 with "wet" feeling, went to the bathroom and my pyjamas had blood all over....I am not quite sure I would even be able to try and describe the feeling I had when I was looking at it.......anyway rang the 24hour midwifes that my midwife gave me at my booking in appointment, rang through to labour (!!!)ward where a lovely nurse passed me on to a gynecologyst, who advised me to go to EPU......we arrived there at 8.45 and were seen at 9, we were meant to have our 12 week scan tomoroow but after they did some pressure, temperature, urine tests they rebooked this scan for us straight away.............i didn't even look at the screen as I didn't want to see if baby wasn't alive, my the scan lady said the heart is beating, so I looked and there was our baby jumping up and down, so active!! I burst out crying, then he or she literally put the hand up and waved, I burst out laughing and got told off as I was laughing so much the mouse on my stomach was jumping up hahha, the nurse happened to take a picture at the very time our baby waved look below!! So all is well, I was told it was a membrane separation in the sac that is closing already so apparently I shouldn't worry. Obviously we didn't have our 3 pounds in coins ready she said don't worry and gave us 3 pictures it was amazing
she also did the nuchal scan and baby measures exactly 12 weeks as it should
we were then seen by a doctor straight away who said it's all good news, sent me for a blood test and we were out at 10.15. SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY seriously what an emotional rollecaster!! I've already thanked all of the ladies on FB for such wonderful messages of support, once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
So what did I learn today? That blood isn't always a bad thing (that's a first) and that after such a reminder how things can change from one minute to another, I must enjoy every second of my life and this pregnancy must become a joy instead of a worry!! How ironic that after such scare we passed the 3 months scan and can tell people now!!! I am not bleeding anymore, only have had few dark brown colour marks when I wipe (sorry tmi!!!) which I'm told is old blood.
Also I was so impressed with the care we received, I cannot fault them it was really top quality care with great nurses and doctors. Which gave me great confidence for the rest of my pregnancy care (we are with St Peters Hospital in Surrey)
Ladies, I am exhausted but happy and think that I will sleep like a log tonight!!! (I arrived at work 3 hours late and think I'm gonna pack it up shortly, I'm lucky I can do this)
Here is our Bambi and waving!!!!
