Hi girls I have just been sent home from work afer a terrible scare.
I was standing at work when I felt a big gush of fluid between my legs, when i went to the toilet it looked like blood/ fluid but I had black undies on. I was really panicked, my boss put me in a bed and called the obs covering my dr, I was lying there thinking 100% I had ruptured my membranes and it was all over, i was petrified. The dr came and the stupid work U/S machine wouldn't work properly so he drove me to his rooms and did an u/s there, all looked ok and there was a good level of fluid around the baby, so he said it is v unlikely i had broke my waters, very releiving. So now I am on bed rest for a week and I'm not even sure if I'll go back to work, its just too much stress at the moment. I was lucky that the doctor knows me very well and left the hospital he was at to come and see me, as my obs is off today.
I really can't cope with the stress of this, I'm still not 100% convinced everything is ok as I'm still passing a bit of oldish blood.
Why can't anything be normal for me, its not fair! If I lose this baby the thought having to go through it all again is too much to bear.
