We tried for a baby for 2 years and as we were about to start NHS IVF I found out that I was pregnant. I am almost 28 weeks and up until
now my pregnancy has been low risk. I have a large cervical polyp and cervical ectropion which has caused 6 episodes of bleeding/spotting. On Thursday evening I had some bleeding, so attended maternity triage to get checked and all was ok, got told that both problems with my cervix caused it. Yesterday morning I woke up to a massive bleed, like day 2 of your period it was everywhere. Called the hospital and went straight back up, they checked baby as soon as I arrived and his CTG didn’t come back as meeting the criteria. Saw the doctor who did a speculum exam who said I had a lot of bleeding and talked about admitting me. Was put on the CTG again and baby met the criteria this time, a few hours later the doctor told me that she is happy for me to go home but I need to rest and monitor. I’ve been told that every episode of bleeding needs investigation incase it is something else and not related to either problem with my cervix.
We are due to go to South of France next weekend for 11 days. The Dr told me that I should reconsider my plans, we can get the money back fine. I agree with her, I’ve been anxious this whole pregnancy and now I’m even more anxious. I keep thinking about worst case scenario happening and while we are away and something happening to the baby, we live less than 5 minutes from our local hospital. I’ve told my partner how I feel but he keeps telling me how we’ll be fine, we shouldn’t write off the holiday and that I can still get a fit to fly letter privately. All our family and friends are agreeing with me but I can see we are going to fall out over this. I have suggested taking the baby in October when he is 3 months old.
AIBU?
