Going to keep this as simple as i can, and as non- graphic as possible.
At 4am i was woken with a gush of what I just KNEW was amniotic fluid, and soon after a mix of blood too. After consulting my doctor, he requested that I go into the ER to be checked. In the ER they did some basic test- Urine Sample- which obviously had blood in it. Some blood work, and a ultrasound. The ultrasound was going to be the test that would give the most information. The tech wasnt able to give me any information on the results, but did tell me the baby was moving around! After what seemed like a lifetime, the ER doc came in and told us that my placenta is low lying, and it appears I have a placenta abruption. Which means there is a tear that is separating the placenta from the uterus wall. This is what is causing the whole bloody mess. I really wish i had more information, but i dont. All i know is that per my doctors orders, im to get as much rest as i can, take it easy, no sex, no lifting, no exercise, no standing on my feet for any period of time. He told me the most he wants me doing is caring for Julian( fixing his means, and cups.. the simple things) and if i have help to even avoid doing that. There is a chance that the tear can heal itself, but we dont know that for certain. I am still losing blood, but it isnt as much since i've been in bed since 6 am. We are not sure what caused this to happen, but praying that it heals, and that I can continue to carry out baby until term! My doctor is now considering me a higher risk pregnancy, and will be seeing me more frequent, especially later in the pregnancy. I have another appointment on Friday, and ultrasound to check and see where we are at, so i should know more then. I'm steadily praying for a miracle and would like nothing more than for you to join me in that prayer. We are very anxious, and terrified for what tomorrow might bring, but keeping our faith, bc with god all things are possible. Please remember us in your prayers!
