So the spotting turned to bleeding...

   So off I headed to hospital for an anti d shot (which in itself is another story, will post about on the miscarriage board) and ended up spending the bloody night there! The doctors weren't happy that my BP was low and I was 'dehydrated' (I live in a constant state of dehydration coz of the ptyalism despite drinking 4 litres of water a day).

So it was IV fluids for me, plus the anti d, a night on the ward (if you can call it that, I didn't get admitted till 2am!) and then an ultrasound today which showed one very healthy 14 week old foetus jumping around all over the place. Well not exactly jumping, little monkey had it's head so far down my cervix I had to get up and jump around to get it to move so they could measure it properly, but you get the picture, there was nothing wrong, and no cause seen for the bleeding.

So now I am back at Mum and Dad's, on 'bedrest' (how does that work when you have 3 kids?) until the bleeding stops, and still none the wiser as to why I'm bleeding in the first place.

I am trying sooo hard to be relaxed about this pregnancy, and I am surprisingly not stressed about it, but this bub is determined to make me remember it's there!

So home
