Please Pray!

Well, I had a little visit to the ER this weekend. Early Sunday morning about 1:30 am I woke up bleeding and clotting. Of course it scared me to death. I called the dr. on call and I really didn't like what he said. He told me that as long as I wasn't cramping that i just needed to stay off my feet and could call my dr. on tuesday (because of the holiday) He said "i'll be honest with you, you can go up to the ER and spend 4 hours but it's not really going to change anything. Unless you just worry about it so much you can't sleep I suggest you just wait until tuesday." Well, of course i'm going to worry! I understand that spotting is sometimes normal but in my mind clotting is not! I waited as long as i could and it wasn't getting any better so Terry took me to the ER about 2:30 that afternoon. To make a long story short, the babies are fine and their hearts are beating strong. What I have is a tear in my placenta called a Subchorionic Hemorrhage. Basically it's a tear where the placenta attaches to the uterus. The ER doc said it usually resolves itself but sometimes causes problems. All that can be done right now is bedrest. I'll be calling Dr. Thompson this morning to see if I can get in today or tomorrow. Please just pray that my placenta will heal and my babies will be safe!
