So I was having horrible dreams last night about losing the baby and I barely slept. When I woke up I told my boyfriend while we were still lying in bed. Then I sat up as he handed me my morning cup of coffee and I felt a warm gush. Blood started to soak through my underwear and pants. When I went to the bathroom I had passed a clot about the size of a half dollar. I am currently 17 wks 4 days and have had spotting off and on since my 5th week but nothing like this and never while im still layin in bed. Im freaking out a bit. My midwife and doctor told me to go to the ER or wait until the office is open tomorrow. We are headed to the hospital now and really need positive thoughts.

Thank you so much for all the kind thoughts our way!
So we got in to the ER surprisingly quick. Basically a doc came in and did a vaginal u/s. He first put that thing in first to visually look and of course made me bleed more. While doing the U\S he had it faced towards him and said my bladder was in the way, which I had just emptied in a cup for them. He then said he saw a good heartbeat and good growth. All of which I didnt get to see or hear. Basically no explaination, once again. Luckily my doctor was there doing a c-section and came down to visit easing my anxiety. He didnt really have answers either but said if I felt more comfortable I can come in this week and get a "real" ultrasound done so they can look at other possibilities. Im glad baby looks great but I hate not getting answers! I've had a SCH before and it doesn't seem like thats it. But my anxiety is getting the best of me due to previous loss. Thanks again everyone. It really means a lot to me.

I kinda got some answers today. Went to my doctor office and got another U/S. Baby looked good but was laying face down. My doctor said I have a bleed/bruise on the top if my placenta. My placenta is also low lying which they want to keep an eye on. She also mentioned that my cervix has shortened a small amount which could be normal but keeping an eye on that too. It's kind of frustrating because I've been dealing with bleeding from the beginning and there is nothing I can do. Just have to get through the next 5 months!
