Rough Night


I probably should have posted earlier, but I'm not one to suffer loudly. I usually wait until the coast is somewhat clear and then spill the beans.

Last night, my husband and I were watching television when I felt some discharge. I thought it might be more of the brown discharge that I have been having, so I went to the bathroom to check. It wasn't brown, but red...red blood. I told my husband, and we started to panic a little. I wasn't in any pain, so I decided to wait to see if it got any worse.

When I took the dogs out to the bathroom, I felt it again. My husband took over and I went back into our apartment to the bathroom. More blood. I laid down on the couch and cried. We don't have insurance yet because we just moved and haven't found jobs. It was way too expensive to carry COBRA on both of us ($800 a month). We were going the next day to get on Medicaid until I get a job with insurance.

My husband came in and cried with me. I started feeling little cramps, but knew I was doing it to myself. I'd worked myself up, and now had gas from the nerves.

The good news is, the only blood now is when I wipe and it's dark again. After sitting on the couch, racking my brain trying to figure out what happened, it dawned on me. I had picked my husband's 7 year old son up and spun him around earlier that morning. He weighs well over 25lbs. I should have known better, but I have felt so good that I sometimes forget my limitations. Never again. I am having no cramps and feel good again, and I'm going to keep it that way.

It may have had nothing to do with your OHs son just these things can happen ... I bled through a good part of my first trimester and my lady is here - SCAREY though!

I have no idea about medical insurance etc over there but surely there must be someone you can see?
