I had a scare today, I thought I had lost Button. *MAJOR TMI WARNING*

Early hours of the morning I woke up and knew I was bleeding. I tried to ignore it for a bit, then got up and put a pad on. It was 4.25am. I was still bleeding, but I kept fairly calm and thought to myself ‘It’s ok, this has happened before, it’s just the placenta.

I went back to sleep for a little while then when I woke got up to go to the toilet and little clotty bits of blood were on the toilet paper. I started to get a little bit worried, but tried not to. I went back to bed then again got up (maybe about half an hour later) and there was still heaps of blood in the toilet. As I was wiping there were still little clots on the paper. Then I felt a clot slide out. As the toilet was full of paper, I got it out to inspect it. I had no clue what it was but it was a clot, completely intact and about the size of a 50c piece. Then I freaked. The clot was huge (to me) I was figuring the placenta must have come away from the wall or something. I started crying hysterically because I thought Button was gone for sure.

I rang the hospital, but I wasn’t guaranteed to get a scan, so I did what I did last time and went to the medical centre and got a referral for a scan and went straight in. I was lucky, I only waited about half and hour and I was called in. I started to cry again, I thought this would confirm it. The chick placed the thing on my belly (what’s it called?) and there was bub, kicking away!!!!!!!! My baby is ok. Everything was perfect. HB of 154 and measuring ahead of dates!! She couldn’t see where the bleed had come from, but everything looked good. ABSOLUTE RELIEF!!! I was so scared, once I passed the clot I thought that was it. I am so relieved and I don’t want anymore scares like that! I am only bleeding old blood now, I haven't had much since the clot passed thank goodness.. 12wks today, only another 28wks to go!! I hope my heart can handle the pressure Lol! I can't wait til this baby is safe in my arms!
