Ladies,
2 weeks a go I had a blood test as I was feeling very tired & looked pale. Turned out my iron levels had dropped from 14 to 10.4 & so I was put on iron tabs. Had 2 weeks off sick, but last Friday I had a strange feeling 'down below' & was convinced I had a water infection. My GP confirmed this & put me on antibiotics. Yesterday I went to the loo & when I wiped there was blood (bright red) . I was petrified as I had a mc last Nov when baby was 10 weeks.
I went to the hosptial where they monitored babies hb & did all sorts of other tests on me. Confirmed the cervix was shut & blood was not coming from womb / baby. The Dr thinks it was from the water infection! Told me to go home, rest, drink plenty & keep taking the antibiotics. If still bleeding in 24 hrs will need a higher dosage.
I am still bleeding when I go for a wee & wipe
I know Dr said it is not baby but I can't help but worry. Baby is still kicking around in there & hb was healthy.
Got to ring my GP tomorrow for another sick note & higher dosage if still bleeding.
I feel awful about work but I also know I've got to put me & baby first. I still feel quite tired but that could also be from the infection now.
Has anyone else had this or similar & can just put my mind at rest???
I never realised pg would be so hard at times, just can't wait to have little one in my arms
