Up until now, I've tried to keep the posts fairly light, and hopefully a bit humorous to anyone out there who may be reading. This is where the story takes on a more serious tone.. As I mentioned in a previous post, there are elements to what happened that I know I've shut out, but I will do my best.....
I shuffled off to the bathroom for a second visit, and what happened next was probably the scariest moment of my life !!! I lifted up my gown, and what I saw was blood literally gushing down both my legs. I remember standing there, frozen in absolute terror !!! What the hell was happening ?? I knew this was beyond serious.....I had 2 options, to run out of there and ask my roomates to get me help, or to pull the little string that was next to the toilet. I pulled the string, and the next thing I knew there were a swarm of people rushing back to our room. Everyone was asking a million questions, all the while trying to help me get back to my bed as carefully as they could. Dr. C who was still doing rounds, and fortunately close by, came running back to see what was happening. They whipped the curtain around my bed, and said that at this point an internal exam was going to be necessary...they didn't have a choice. The verdict.....5cm dilated, and baby right there !!!! This baby was coming, and there was nothing we could do about it.....week 24 day 5.
