Well, my week just couldn't stay normal. I got home from work today and when I went to the bathroom I had some bleeding. Think like period type bleeding, not just spotting. I called the nurse line and they had me come in to L and D. So now I'm here at the hospital for observation at least until tomorrow or Friday.
They did an ultrasound and baby was doing fine. Heartbeat was strong and my vitals were fine, but they're keeping me just as a precaution due to the placenta previa and bleeding. Worst case is I keep bleeding large amounts and need a c section ASAP. Best case is I stop bleeding and can go home.
So if I could have some good thoughts and vibes that I get to go home within a couple of days and I don't have a March baby, that's the goal!

Many good thoughts to you. Great to hear baby is fine but thinking of you and hoping it stops ASAP so you can keep bubba cooking for several more weeks yet xx

Oh dear, I really hope the bleeding will stop ! Will they put you on bed rest for a few weeks to make sure it settles long enough for the baby to grow some more? Many good and calming thoughts going your way !

I'll send up a prayer for you. Hope it all calms down and you have a non-eventful remainder of your pregnancy.

Many good and calming thoughts going your way ! I'm not sure yet. I briefly met with a doctor last night that my midwife had consult. I think that is a definite possibility. I actually was moved from my hospital to a larger hospital with more resources for a potential pre-term birth just as a precaution. So a lot of time spent moving around, getting rechecked in, etc. I hope to learn more today. I did get a steroid shot last night and will get another today to help baby girl's lungs develop just in case she has to be delivered.

Thanks for all the well wishes. So far everything is looking good. The doctor wants to keep me in the hospital under observation probably until Saturday just to make sure I don't start bleeding again.
No news about what the plan might be after they discharge me. But for now everything is good!

Quick update. Copy and pasting from the HDBD.
Still here at the hospital, but I should be able to be discharged tomorrow morning as long as there's no more bleeding. The Dr just came in and said that I also should able to go back to work (I'm a bank teller), but may need to stay off my feet more. He also said because it's highly unlikely that the placenta will move at this point he's recommending a c section around 36 weeks to lessen the chance of more bleeding. And that's like 9 weeks away. So now the freaking out can commence. Lol.
But everything else is looking great. I plan on doing a little more walking around today. I already walked down the the Starbucks in the hospital to get out of my room for a bit.

ajm, just checking in to see how you're doing so far this week 😊 Thanks! Doing good. No new bleeding. I have an appointment on Thursday where I've officially been transferred from the midwives to a doctor at the same clinic. I'll find out more then as to what our plan is. But for now, nothing new, which is good! ☺
