Bedrest until at least Monday

I had a very interesting afternoon spent in the ER.  I had some spotting, freaked out, so off to the ER we went.  

They did a HCG and it was over 106,000.  They also did an ultrasound.  The baby looked perfect and had a strong heartbeat at 172 bpm.   I'm still freaking out, but trying to think positive.  They put me on complete bedrest until Monday.  I have an appointment with my OB first thing Monday morning and we go from there.  

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.    It's kind of hard not to panic when they send you home with discharge papers that read "threatened miscarriage".  The Dr. told me it's standard when a woman comes in with unexplained spotting, but still.  Not something I want to see on a paper. 

It will get even more interesting in the house if I am to remain on bedrest for the duration of this pregnancy.  I would have no choice but to hire someone full time M-F.  Yeah cross your fingers the OB has excellent news for me on Monday.

(((HUGS))) I am thinking positive for you - I am glad they did and ultrasound for you and that baby looked good!!! :)

Did they think it might be a subchorionic bleed?? That is what caused my spotting at 11 & 16 weeks.

I hope you don't have to be on bedrest full time - I just about went insane for 4 weeks! Hang in there and keep us posted.

Nope, no bleed.  I guess it's one of those freak things.  At this point the spotting seems to have stopped.

That is a good thing then - I was freaked about my SCH. When I was preggo with Bailey I had freak bleeding at 14 weeks - they never did figure out what it was..... it was then I knew she would be a stubborn child!

Hang in there!

I am sending you positive thoughts and wishes for a good day monday.
I know how you feel about the freak out and ER I almost went myself today, called the OB instead.
Hopefully the OB will have good news your hCG is nice and high tho.

 I just went through similiar 3-4 weeks ago.  I had 2 subchorionic bleeds each a week apart and it put me on bed rest until the bleeding stopped.  Each time, the ultrasounds showed the LO in perfect condition.  It was me who was stressing, not him.  I have been off bedrest the last 2 weeks and things are again going as smoothly as before the bleeding.  OB and ER just said sometimes it happens for no reason and is gone as fast as it appears.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!
