Well this is probably going to be a TMI post.. Was in the toilet doing my thing.. It was #2 (ew,ew,ew) ..can't believe I just wrote that but it's relevant to the story I promise. I wasn't struggling with it but I was taking my sweet time.. I needed to pee so I did.. In the wiping process I wiped my front and saw bright red blood.. I thought wtf.. It must be my bottom.. I checked back there and everything was fine..& clean So I checked my front with my fingers (I washed my hands of course to prevent infection) I wiped my fingers with some tissue and yup, pink tinged CM. I was freaking and was thinking wtf. I phoned L&D and they want me in to check me over. SO is in work until 10PM it's currently 9PM so his dad is taking me over. They said they may keep me in. In in the car and my legs are shaking as I write this and my tummy had started to get a little achy.. I'm still thinking it's my ass. I hope they say ''no hun, you just busted your ass''. Not the time for jokes I know but I'm freaking., I didn't know who else to reach out too. Sorry for AW & TMI post but I'm not really thinking clearly at the moment. It's probably full of spelling mistakes and I'm babbling on.. Sorry.
::UPDATE:: so I arrived at L&D to be greeted by a lovely midwife who led me to a bed and pulled the curtain around. She informed me an internal examination would be taking place. So I had to remove my bottom layers of clothing and lie on the bed with a little blanket covering my bits. She left me for awhile. I just lay and stared the ceiling thinking 'wow.. I'm in hospital' & the realisation that I'm pregnant and labour is near really hit me, I felt a range of emotions. I was scared and all I wanted was for SO to get there. LO was kicking up a storm though as if to say 'it's okay mama everything's fine'. The midwife returned and felt baby, he is still head down but not locked into position quite yet. She said he is measuring right on 32 weeks. She then hooked me up to a monitor and placed wires over my tummy. I was left alone again with LO's heartbeat sounding loudly.. Sometimes it slowed and then sped up which caused me concern. I had a little button to push everytime he moved and move he did - I don't think he liked the wires. Finally SO popped his head around the curtain and I instantly relaxed. I was so happy to see him and LO responded to his daddy's voice. For awhile we were the only ones in the room when I heard a woman come in sobbing.. I immediately became scared and my heart ached for her. SO noticed my fear and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. I was praying her baby was okay. It was. She had gone into labour.. & as they checked her over all she kept saying was ''WOW,WOW... WOW!!''' & ''I'm from a line of strong ones..'' SO had our quiet giggles as we realised we would be in that position soon. The doctor came to do my internal and my oh my.. Pain & pressure!!.. I had a huge light on my hoo hah!! And this instrument inserted.. The trainee doctor popped it in and it popped back out again.. Pulling my insides in the process.. I let out a quiet 'ouch!'. It was reinserted and they had a good look around.. I remember thinking jeez! I feel like I'm going to poop myself! The pressure down there was intense.. I thought if this hurts whats it going to be like when LO comes! They left but didn't give me anything to wipe with.. So I had to stay on the ''puppy training pad'' thing that was under my butt. Eventually the midwife came back and said that nothing is out of the ordinary... They can't see any sign of blood so the cause is undetermined but as everything else is great I was to go on my merry way which was a relief as I so couldn't wait for the wires to be taken off of me. I'm now home safe & sound in bed. Having this scare & being in L&D makes me realise how much I want to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy instead of wishing he was here already.. After all the safest place for him is inside me.. I don't think I'll count down the days as much.. I really dislike hospitals as being in them a lot as a child has left its scars. I'm so glad I have you ladies. Thank you so much for your thoughts, kind words & prayers I don't know what I would have done without you guys tonight. So let's enjoy these next two months that we have left and pray for health and happiness.
we thank you

UPDATE #2: Sad to be writing this but.. I just went to the toilet there and there is a slight brownish stain in my underwear.. dried in blood? What should I do? Should I phone again? I'm thinking it's maybe from the internal exam.. I don't know what to do? I don't want to be a SS. SO said we should wait to see if it gets any worse.. As baby is moving around fine. I've felt kind of sick today but I think that's because I'm tired and hungry as I didn't get much to eat last with what went on..
