"Pelvic rest" means no relations with DH or anything else that could compromise my pelvic region, if that makes sense!
It is such a long story about my trip to the ER. Like I said, DH is a doctor who works at the hospital I went to. One of the other oh-so-comforting things he said to me on our car ride over is that he hoped I got a good doctor in the ER. His whole department (family medicine) has a tough time with the ER docs because they are incompetent and actually dangerous! There was only one doctor on staff there this morning and it was the worst one, according to DH! He didn't even examine me AT ALL (no stethoscope, much less a speculum exam). He wasn't even going to order an ultrasound except DH pressured him to do so. I think if I had been the average woman off the street he would have sent me home without any tests run at all, which infuriates me! The ultrasound was very reassuring when I saw that little heart beating.
Needless to say, the doctor didn't say a word about what could've caused my bleeding. I don't think he is capable of knowing! And he didn't bother calling my OB to see what she says. Luckily, I'm seeing her tomorrow and she may have some other information. Something else my ultrasound revealed is that I have a large cyst on one of my ovaries and that may be somehow related.
I haven't bled too much more since I arrived home. I'm just trying to take it easy until tomorrow. Thank you again for your story! It really did give me some hope that I wasn't losing my baby and that it was just some sort of freakish thing.
