This is from my ipod so will have to be short. Yesterday i was at a local hospital taking one of the girls to see a specialist. I sneezed and felt as though all my insides fell out. Ran to the bathroom and beld clots soaking my underwear and pants blood running everywhere had to tell the child that the baby was "falling out". I flagged down a passing doctor inthe hall who phoned the emergency dept. A nurse came to collect me in a wheelchair. I had them take my foster daughter to the nurses station so i could get out of my bloody clothes. I proceded to bleed all over the floor and was sobbing. Nice nurse got me cleaned up and into a gown. My brother lived nearby and was summoned to take the child to his house.my mom arrived and they gave me a shot of morphine to sedate me for the ultrasound. Once again the baby was alive! The tech found a small sub chorionic hematoma. The prognosis for this pregnancy is still decent. You have no idea how much blood... I thought i would need a transfusion. They think the hemmorage bled out. Im on bedrest now.

    Oh my, how horrible. I can't imagine. I'm so glad that you're baby is still in there, heart beating away. Do they think this whole episode is finally over now? You must be going nuts.

    Please know you are in my thoughts and in my heart.

    I wouldnt say that all is well. Most people who have these go on to have live births... But i of course feel that in my case if something can go wrong it generally will. A lot of people get put on complete bedrest for weeks or months at a time. They usually resolve by 24 weeks but not always. Mine is small now and the hope is that its on its way out and not fixing to get worse. I will need to be monitored by a perinatolgist and will be at higher risk of placental abruption and preterm labor. I cant seem to do pregnancy in close to normal fashion.

    Damn those subchorionic hematomas!!!! Rest and drink water and don't move. I pray that it bleeds out and that it resolves soon. I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this.
