My beautiful Sunday afternoon was interrupted by a trip to the hospital. I've been spotting since last night, and started to bleed heavily this morning.

Had an ultrasound and was diagnosed with placental praevia. The baby isn't in distress and it's only marginal, which is a good sign. My blood pressure is low, and I have to check it every few hours. And my OB put me on immediate bed rest for the next two weeks (at least).

I'm counting on Plimates to bring me plenty of interesting links to fill the hours of boredom I'm facing.

aww that stinks! Talk about scary. How far along are you if you don't mind my asking.

Hang in there and get some rest!

I'm in my 25th week.

My co-workers wife is also pregnant, and she was put on bedrest 2 weeks ago.

She's been driving her husband crazy, which makes me giggle.

Maybe some book recommendations?

You better f**king listen to the doctor, sparkly. Don't you dare get out of bed. Rest up and relax as best you can.

i didn't know that sort of thing happened outside of movies ... hope you weren't gushing gallons of blood, too.

did the bleeding stop?

I'm still spotting, but I was never gushing blood. If that were the case, I'd still be in the hospital. I have to monitor my blood pressure to make sure I'm not losing too much blood. If it gets too low, I get to have a transfusion.

My fiance and the kids and I were out all day yesterday. Shopping, the park, the movies, more shopping. I was on my feet moving all day and my OB thinks that could have started the heavy bleeding. As long as I stick in bed all day, I should be good.

Do you like ice cream?

If so, I will edit out that question and you can call your fiance over to the computer to read the following.

I am a doctor. My username alone reflects the sound medical advice I am capable of giving.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell my patients; the only cure is ice cream in heavy doses.

srsly, stay in bed

You stay in bed, Sparkly. I am sure there will be plenty of good stories here to keep you entertained. Have you got some help if it is needed? I hope so. As for books, check the thread I started here I think you had even posted there. haha. At any rate, now is the time to be pampered. hehehe. Keep us posted.

Also get your fiance to buy you lots of trashy magazines to pass the time.

And he should definitely have a someone come out to give you a manicure and pedicure. You'll feel better.

Rest up sweetie, and feel better soon.

Sorry to hear it, Gal. Hope it works oot. Hang in there, eh! ; )

I've got friends and neighbors and lots and lots and lots of family. My mother wants to move in with me, but I'm gonna make her wait and see if my condition worsens. Living with her will most likely cause more problems than it will solve.

And my fiance already made a Coldstone run for me DEP, but I may call on your medical advice next time I need him to do something, like scrubs the toilets.

HUGS!

I'll bring you all the lovin I can spare....I mean love. You already got lots of lovin, it's why you're pregnant!

HA!

*Badump- pshhh!*


Edit: Enough being an ass for me, on a serious note, I'm glad both you and the baby are fine. Lots of love, dear. :D

I hope by Gallons of blood you were referencing less then 8 pints which is the amount a human body holds.

lmfao

<3

*hugs* rest well and I hope you and the baby stay safe. You're both in my prayers <3 If you need anything just ask and I'll draw it for you :P

Pregnant Superhero?

Will do :D

a lot of hollywood filmakers don't know that!
