This is my first post, I’d like some input if anyone has any thoughts. I’ve just entered the second trimester and was told that I could share the pregnancy to friends and family since it’s “the safe week”. The other day when I was out on a slow walk I suddenly felt something warm running down my legs and walked home as quick as I could. It was gushing out quite a lot and I didn’t dare look down since I was outside and terrified. When I got home I saw what I feared to be true, large amounts of blood. I sat on the toilet for a bit and it just kept pouring out of me and I started to feel dizzy. I was alone home and couldn’t reach my partner who was at work and spoke to my mum who said I needed to call the midwife. I was so confused I had kind of froze. Called them and they said that if I couldn’t reach my partner or have anyone that could take me (I don’t, I’m Swedish and all my family lives there, I don’t have any friends here) I needed to call an ambulance, which I finally did. At the hospital my blood count showed a significant blood loss and they kept me overnight. The following day at 14:00 I finally got to have an ultrasound and saw my baby rolling around and waving it’s little hands. Completely broke me. This was an unplanned (and my first) pregnancy but both me and my partner felt like letting nature take its course and have te baby if the pregnancy stuck. I’m 31 and haven’t had any longing for children or mother’s instinct up until I fell pregnant. They told me it was a threatened miscarriage and that I am at higher risk to have a full miscarriage since I’d had such a big bleed. They couldn’t find any apparent reason for the bleeding and just said that they didn’t know why it happened (baffles me how little humans know about the oldest condition in the world, seems like women’s health is such a low priority research wise).
They said to take it easy but I’m wondering if anyone knows for how long I’m in danger of miscarriage? I miss going out for my walks and bed/sofa rest is making me restless. Does anyone that has experienced the same or similar thing know how long I need to take it easy? Does going for a walk count as not taking it easy? This thing happened to happen when I was out walking so I’m feeling torn about it...
My man is really looking forward to fatherhood and I’d hate to loose this pregnancy now that we’re so happy it wasn’t a miscarriage...
