Things Have Taken a Sudden Turn...Not Looking Good

Yes, you read right.

Everything was fine yesterday afternoon. Not a single sign of blood...

Was going to attend a meeting near my office, so went to dinner by myself. When I got up, could feel that I was bleeding, so called the nurse and told her I knew the drill...go home, put my feet up, drink lots of water. She called in a prescription for erythromycin and said call in the morning. As usual, there is nothing they can do...

By the time I got home, I was soaked through, passing large clots and having strong cramps. It's now 4 am and, although the cramps subsided, I am still passing blood and clots.

Based on my beta numbers and past experience, I am pretty certain it's not a passing twin. Yes, I know it can be a SCH and lots of women in my situation have gone on to have healthy pregnancies, but this is exactly the way things played out the last two times - so that is unlikely in my case.

I am scheduled to fly out to our home office on Sunday for a series of important meetings and to give a presentation(first time in three years)and hadn't even told my boss we were going through this again.

In the words of Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins "Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!"

I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope that this is a SCH (like mine). I would definitely cancel your trip though. You need to take this time to yourself. If everything is fine and it is a SCH it is always best to try for partial bed rest for 1-2 weeks, to give it time to heal. Please know I am thinking of you.

I know this doesn't help but with my SCH I had a lot of blood loss. To the point we were in ER. And I bled hard for over 8 hours, and then continued on spotting heavily for almost 2 weeks.

Flygirl - I sent you an email. I just wanted to post here as well. I am so sorry to read your update. I just hope that it's a really bad scare and that things are ok!

As for work, I wouldn't travel...I would tell them what is going on and maybe see if you can call in to the meetings or do an online meeting, sharing your desktop, with something like We.bex.

Thinking of you. xoxo

Ahhhhh!!, no no no! Please let this just be a normal part of the process. Pray and try to keep your mind getting through this. There is hope still...I really hope this turns around for you. Love and hugs

Thinking of you, hoping this is just part of the norm - for now I do agree with the other ladies about not travelling
