Hey ladies, hope you're all well.
I had a scare this morning, when I wiped after using the toilet there was blood on the tissue
Only a little bit but I've not bled at all during this pregnancy so it really worried me. Phoned the midwife and she told me to visit her and she'd do a checkup. This was at 10am, I was meant to be at uni by 11am for a group presentation but f*** that my baby is far more important. I'd been driving down to see the midwife for about 1 minute when I realised there was a smell of oil in the car and the oil temperature gauge thingy was underneath the minimum line. I then realised the car was making a whirring sound and not revving as it should. To cut a long story short I phone my housemate as he's good with cars and he told me to drive back and he'd check it over, which I did. He said the engine was boiling considering I'd only been driving for a max of 3 minutes, there's plenty of oil/water in there and he thinks the problem was caused by the cam belt so I have to take the car to a garage on Monday by thats by the way. So I woke OH up (he didnt get in from work til 7am) and we both took a taxi to the midwife, didn't see my regular one but the midwife I did see was just as lovely. She listened to babies heartbeat and all sounds fine, I did a urine sample and she said there's some protein in it which may be a cause for concern so I have to wait for results from the doctor for that. She booked me in for a reassurance scan at 3.30 today and I'm crapping myself. I know the heartbeat was fine when the midwife checked but I've been acheing in my uterus and what feels like my cervix since then, and I just found more blood on the tissue. I'm so scared. I'm in tears, I know it's stupid and I'm a grown woman but I just want a cuddle off my mum (she's a 4 hr drive away). My OH's being amazing and supportive but I can't stop worrying, I've not had any problems during this pregnancy up until now. I really want the scan just to check that everythings alright but at the same time I'm so scared of going and finding out something's wrong or I've lost my baby
Sorry if this isn't very coherent but I'm in a state right now
