Scary

*Warning post might be TMI*
On Monday, I had the day off so my mom and I decided to do some shopping for our little girl. We didn't stay out too long, and I made sure I ate, kept hydrated, and rested when I could. By the time I got home, I was a little crampy and just felt crappy. I decided to take a Tylenol and go to bed early. I went to sleep around 10, and other than getting up at 7am to pee, I slept in until 11am! It felt good.

The scary thing was when I got up at 11 and went to the bathroom, I noticed pink on the toilet paper. The water in the toilet was also red tinged. I called the Dr.s office and they said to go to the hospital. I peed a few more times before I left (I still had to change and get a few things to take to the hospital since I had literally just woken up). Every time, it seemed like things were getting worse. I started to get little ity bitty clots. I was getting cramps and getting scared more and more by the minute.

By the time we got to the hospital, I was taken straight up to labor and delivery. I had to undress and pee in a cup. When I went to pee in a cup, the whole thing was red. Not yellow like pee should be, but a dark red. I also had more clots. I completely lost it. I started freaking out and crying. Luckily my mom was there. I just started yelling for her. The nurse was trying to help my mom calm me down long enough to get undressed so I could be hooked up to the monitors. My mom managed to help me and I got hooked up to hear baby girl's strong and steady heartbeat. She was also moving like crazy.

They did so many tests to try to make sure I wasn't dilated and that I didn't have any infections or anything else. The Dr. had thought my water might have partially broken and started leaking and then caused an infection. The nurse thought maybe a UTI, but I didn't have a single symptom for it other than the blood. I spent a good 5 hours in the hospital. I was released with antibiotics and was told to follow up with a dr. in a few days, as long as nothing got worse. They still weren't able to tell me what was wrong by the time I left, so hopefully the medicine helps. So far I am doing better, but I still will have fresh blood or tiny clots here and there.

So Im sorry I haven't posted, but I have a few posts for you guys since I was behind. I have my 25 week update and some pictures from my shopping spree!
