October 1, 2016 ER Visit

Yesterday started out pretty normal.  I threw up, ate breakfast, got ready for the day, met some friends for a late brunch, and then went to the grocery store.  While I was at the grocery store my back started to hurt more (it always gets worse as the day progresses), so I just walked more slowly/carefully.  When I got home with the groceries, I left the heavy stuff for Seth to carry in once he got home from work.  Once inside, I noticed some bleeding and with my back pain, I got nervous.  I called the emergency hotline for my doctor and described my symptoms.  They sent me to the hospital to have it checked out.  On my way there I picked up Seth from work and he drove the rest of the way.  We went to the ER at the hospital I'll deliver the boys.  Everyone was nice and it wasn't crowded.  I even got a private room.  Thankfully everything is okay with our babies.  I have never been so relieved to see them moving their little bodies and their hearts beating.  I had some labs and ultrasounds done and was diagnosed with Subchorionic Hemorrhage.  After getting IV fluids they sent me home to be on bedrest until at least Monday when I see my OB again.  This pregnancy has definitely been difficult.  It will be nice when I can finally hold the baby boys!

Talking to the nurse about my symptoms when we first arrived.

After the ultrasound of the boys and my kidneys.  I was much happier.

Had to have an IV of fluids before leaving.  We were there for about 3 hours.
