bleeding at 16 weeks

[casscart]

I am so worried

Has anyone else bled at anytime through their pregnancy? I'm 16 weeks pregnant and woke up from an afternoon sleep to find that I was bleeding. It really scared me as it was like a heavy period and it was bright red. I had to ring my hospitals labour ward as my Ob is on leave for help. The midwife said she would contact the Ob taking my Obs patients and ask him what I should do. When she rang back she said that if the bleeding came back or I start having pains to go to King Edward. And if it doesn't to contact this Ob and he will see me tomorrow sometime.

Well the bleeding hasn't come back but I'm still wiping away browny staff that looks like blood. I don't know the hospitals in Perth at all, never used them apart from seeing my Ob at SJOG subiaco for my visits. I don't understand why I would have to go to king Edward and not sjog in these circumstances...... I wouldn't even know what to do or where to go if I have to go to king Edwards. Do I go as a private patient or public? Do i see any doctor or will this Ob that is taking my Obs patients come and see me?

I don't really feel as though I have been treated right by my chosen hospital or this Ob thats stepped in for my Ob while his away. I hope I don't sound spoilt or anything like that....just so worried and confused...feel a bit brushed off
