Hospital

22 weeks + 5 days, 6 weeks post rupture. 1st day in hospital.

Started leaking again last night. Scratch that...gushing.

FUCK!!!!

I called my doctor's office and my nurse said to come down to L&D triage. I ended up in the same triage room where I barfed my guts out when I was in labour with Aidan. I kept my eyes closed most of that visit due to the extreme pain, so today I was able to look around a bit. There wasn't much to see. The nurse came to see me quickly, as I don't think they were that busy and basically I told them my story and said I wanted to be admitted. I am too frightened of going into labour at home at this point. So within an hour I was in a 2 bed hospital room (at least I got the window bed) and am now officially an 'in-patient'. Likely I have low to no amniotic fluid at this point and they have warned me that there is a high risk of delivery within 48 hours, in which case nothing could be done for Acorn.

All stuff I know.

I am majorly depressed. I had hoped to make it until next Thursday at home. I had hoped not to leak anymore. I had hoped for so much better than this.

  1. Oh no, just not the news any of us wanted to read after the high of the last post. Dear Emily, I'm just so sorry and I hope your luck can turn around again very, very soon. We're all here hoping for you and of course for Acorn.
