05-8-2009 - Hospital Stay #2

My mood while writing this blog:
Tired

Well, last Wednesday night my belly felt funny and I was on edge all night....like something was going to happen. I made it through the night, my hubby kissed me good bye, he went to work and then I was laying awake and felt the bleeding start again. I tried not to freak out, took a shower and then realized it did not stop so I called my OB. He sent me to the hospital again and by that time the bleeding pretty much stopped. They did an ultrasound and baby looked good with a strong heart rate. That was a relief and they estimated his weight at 3 pounds 14 ounces, so that is great! The specialist saw me and said I had to be in the hospital for observation for 48 hours after my last bleed. Well, I did have some spotting the next day, so that started the 48 hours over and then right as I was going to go home on Saturday, I had more spotting that started the 48 hours over again! So I just got out yesterday, finally, after 5 days there. They said my placenta previa has "resolved" but now the bleeding and contractions are due to the placenta tearing away from the uterine wall. If this continues to happen it can lead to the baby not getting enough oxygen and worse. So I am home, continuing the bedrest and trying to "stay pregnant and stop bleeding" per doctors orders. I am scared and tired and worried all the time now! I just want everything to be okay.....and I don't want to spend the next month or more in and out of the hospital. When I was in there this time it was my husband and I's 5 year wedding anniversary AND my baby shower.....so I missed both of them. We had to cancel my shower and I have no clue if or when it can be rescheduled. I am SOOO bummed about that. But when I got home, my hubby gave me my anniversary presents, a new fluffy bathrobe and a 3 stone diamond ring that he said not only represents past/present/future but also me, him and the baby. I was so shocked! It was incredibly sweet! Oh and we narrowed the names down to two, I created a new poll. While we were in the hospital I had the name poll up on the dry erase board there and everyone voted, it was kinda fun!
