Conversation with the hospital when I called to find out my appt for ultrasound this morning went something like this.

Me: hi just calling to find out when my appt for ultrasound is today.
Nurse: sure. Let me check. Nope can't seem to find the request, are you sure it was for today?
Me: yes. I was up at birth suite twice yesterday, and they said it would be today.
Nurse: ok, how far along are you?
Me: 38 weeks
Nurse: why are you getting the ultrasound?
Me: I had heavy bleeding all day yesterday
Nurse: ....oh...so you had your bloody show? I don't think you need an ultrasound for that. You should be fine, just sit back and wait for things to happen and call back....ok?
*nurse nearly hanging up on me*
Me: no....it wasn't a bloody show. It was heavy bright red bloods with large clots, all day.
Nurse: so a few teaspoons through the day you think?
Me: no...I'd say a few cups. Changed a pad every 1 1/2 to 3 hours...
Nurse: oh. Well, I'll see what's going on then and call back.

...2 hours later.....
