Heading to the hospital right now - traffic is crazy. Bleeding large quantities of bright red blood. Starting a new thread, because it's likely AF too. No contractions. No pain. Just a lot of blood. So nervous. We were at my parents and don't have hospital bags! Keep you updated when I can.
Edit - skip to last update for full story in thread. Thanks so much for all of the kind words! I still can't believe I have an outside baby.
You can call 911 for an escort if you need it. That is what was recommended to us at our L&D class, if you need to get there quickly and are having trouble. Good luck!
Oh no, I hope everything is okay. I second making a call - either to 911 for an escort or to notify the hospital that you're on your way so they can meet you immediately with the correct personnel. Thinking of you and your LO and sending all the positive thoughts possible your way!
Oh gosh! Sending prayers and hoping you get there quickly. I have a friend who went through something that sounds like that same thing at about 36 weeks, and the baby had kicked something too hard and that's what caused all the bleeding.
Thanks, all! (You're awesome.) Made it to the hospital safely, and they knew we were coming so we got in fast. (I called my doctor and hospital first thing.) Baby looks good on the monitor, and I look good. No signs of previa or abruption, which is what they look for with this much blood. But it presents in a lot of different ways, so we just don't know. No AF, just a whole lot of blood. They're holding me captive to monitor the bleeding and the baby. Still bleeding, still gushes of bright red blood. So, I'm really frustrated. The on call doc isn't here, just the resident - and I appreciate that residents are highly trained, this is a really great hospital, but I'm just sitting in all of this blood and it keeps coming out, and feels like amniotic fluid but it's not. I know there's nothing else they can do. Just, no answers. Sorry for the vent.
tl;dr Baby boy might not be coming tonight afterall. I'm happy with that! Hanging out at the hospital on the monitor for the foreseeable future waiting for the bleeding to stop. No answers.
