Evening. DH dragged me to A&E after he took DD to nursery. We had a little incident in the hospital car park where an idiot told us off for parking our car where we parked it. We saw the car park through another row of cars. He was parked a long way off in the row where the space was, but obviously oblivious to the space available. Maybe some other nicer people would have gone out of their car and tell him there is a space available further ahead?
Anyway luckily we didnt, because just after I left the car, I could feel a whole gush of blood came out, and my leggings were soaked through! I touched my bum and I could see blood on my hands. If we had given up our park, I would have soaked my car seat. At A&E we were seen by the triage nurse immediately and then got put straight through. I guess having a blood stained bum helped you get noticed in A&E. (I was left waiting for 4-5 hours with my last mc and that was why I was reluctant to go). Long story short, the tried to clear my cervix twice but the bleeding didn't stop. So I ended up with in ERPC in theatre in the evening and stayed overnight.
I'm all ok now except having to take iron tablets for two weeks. I'm glad it's all over.
fod I know what you mean by not wanting to tell work. I am on a permanent contract but even that I just told work I was sick yesterday. I didn't tell them it's a mc. I took annual leave for all my scans and appointments. If they know I'm ttc, I'm sure they will think I will be off to maternity anytime soon. I hope they are right but we know things aren't that easy. It will take away any chance I have for promotion or pay rise if they think I'm going to take a year off anytime soon.
jbrd I'm so sorry you didn't get a happy ending this time. Maybe 2014 will be our lucky year. And yes, year of the horse is a lot better than year of the snake isn't it?
