On Sunday evening Sven and I went to bed really early, I couldn't sleep so I surfed the web in bed and read my book. At around 11:45 I started to get some really bad cramps and took some strong Nurophen, by 12:00am they were getting stronger and more painful, almost like I would imagine contractions feel like. I got up and went to my yoga room (which was to be the baby's room) to try and breath it away, this contraction type pain got stronger, lasting for longer and got more and more intense.
After about an hour of breathing and moaning, I tried to get up to the bathroom and a flood of blood came rushing out...it was like someone had turned a tap on full blast. I kind of collapsed and had to call for Sven as I could not stand.
Sven woke up with a fright and had to carry me to the bathroom, where I proceeded to vomit and bleed heavily. My darling husband made me some sugar water as I was shaking from shock, he got me dressed and drove me to A & E.
Once at A&E we got shown to a little cubicle where I got changed into a gown, they took blood, checked blood pressure and heart rate, asked questions and eventually examined me internally.
The doctor said that there was a massive clot and a lot of blood around my cervix so she couldn't tell if my cervix was open or closed. She later tried to dislodge it herself, but left it as she said it could make me more sick.
They gave me a massive dose of pain relief and put me on a drip, while we waited for my blood work to come back. By this time the cramping was getting more bearable, but still so very painful.
My blood work came back ok, haemoglobin level normal, heart rate and blood pressure fine (so long as I didn't stand up). The doctor gave me two options of staying in over night and maybe having a D&C in the morning or going home and continuing with the managed miscarriage.
Sven and I chatted and we decided to go home, I could always come back if need be. I was given some painkillers and we were told to watch out for dizziness, severe cramping or abdominal pains, and fever. She also said to stay in bed for 2 days.
Once the drip had finished, I was checked over one last time and allowed home.
Sven and I got home around 4:30am, I got changed into fresh PJs and got into bed.
Today is my second day in Bed, the cramps are still around and come every few minutes and last about a minute or more. The pain killers help a little and have allowed me to sleep at night. The bleeding is still heavy, although I haven't passed any clots yet. I still feel weak physically and emotionally but I am feeling better.
If it wasn't for my amazing husband Sven, and the support of my family and a few friends, I would not be able to cope - so thank you.
Sven has truly been amazing, he deserves the husband of the year award!
Sven, thank you. I love you!
