i started bleeding yesterday afternoon around 3:30. i called my doctors office and she doesn't even have an answering service.... CAN YOU FREAKING BELIEVE THAT?! all she has is a machine that says to call this other number, so i did. she told me if i started bleeding to go to the women's center, which is the L & D unit in the hospital. the lady on the phone told me to go to the ER. long story short, they wouldn't see me at the women''s center b/c i'm under 20 weeks. i thoroughly loathe this hospital and all in it.
anyhow, the ER ppl were absolute morons (aren't they always?). the dr checked my cervix, it's still closed, and found the heartbeat on the doppler (after pressing very hard all over my pubic bone and surrounding areas. i would have told her that my uterus is up and to the left, but we didn't exactly get off on the right foot) and then sent us home with a paper saying "you're pregnant and you're bleeding. you could be having a miscarriage" no. really? no blood draw. no ultrasound (because there wasn't anyone on staff who could perform these actions....WTF?) what a waste of time.
the paper also said to follow up with my doctor no later than monday april 13th. since i don't think she has hours on Easter Sunday i suppose i'll have to settle for monday. wtf.
overnight i soaked a pad and woke up drenched in blood. my pad fell off my underwear it was so full. the bleeding has slowed down and it is turning brown so far today. red has been immensely scary. if i never have a period again it'll be too soon. i'm scarred for life.
