So yesterday I had some bleeding - I called my OB. I am only 35 weeks! They had me come in - they preformed a test & the doctor said that there was a 50/50 % chance that I rumptured, so he sent me to the hospital next door. I have to admit after he explained that they may have to perform the c-section last night - I couldn't believe the peace that God bestowed on me! Got to the hospital they swabbed me, she said I didn't rumpture BUT they still had to perform an ultrasound to make sure that there was enough amnonic fluid. The nurse gave me some information to ponder - you know that peace I had it was gone after she told me that if they did the c-section last night they would have to rush the baby off to the NIQ. The thought of my baby being wisked away or having health complications frightened me horribly. I completely lost it and couldn't help not ball my eyes out. But prior to the ultrasound I had to lay there alone (my husband was at home with our 3 kids) and wait for the baby to show movement and increases in his heartbeat. As the nurse walked out of the room I did everything I could to get him to move, jiggling my tummy, etc. Sure enough he moved but she still insisted on an ultrasound -- I just wanted to go home! The blessing during the ultrasound was that I got to see my little peanut - he had one arm resting on top of his face - an image that melts my heart. After the LONGEST 2 hours of my life the hospital they sent me home - all is well with really not explaination why I was bleeding. Thankfully I haven't bleed since! What am I thankful for today - how awesome God is! How this baby didn't come early, all the tests came back good, how my family kept calling me to see if I was ok, I am at a loss of words. Except PRAISE GOD!
BTW if you have been following my pregnancy posts HERE you will now my struggles with finding a new doctor because my doctor is on vacation when my c-section is scheduled - thankfully I got to meet the doctor who will perform my c-section next mont & I LOVE him! He even came by the hospital to check on me last night! PRAISE GOD for answering my prayers!
God gave me this Bible verse during my study this morning:
I am the one who looks after you and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green, giving my fruit to you all through the year. Hosea 14:8
Hope everything is okay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a scare! Yes, Praise God! He is soo good! Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving now that all is at peace!
ReplyDeleteLove the verse you shared. I'm glad to hear that baby is okay and will get to stay inside a little longer. Prayers for a safe delivery ~ in His time.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you and baby are alright. Im due just shortly after you on January 2nd, and even though Im ready to have this baby I wouldnt want to have him right now. Praise be to God that he is keeping your baby right where he is.

Wicked scary!!! I'm glad you were ok! Happy Turkey Day to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePhew! That's good they didnt seem too worried, although it's odd they didnt attempt to offer an explaination. I had bleeding when I was having with my son and my doctors did the same thing which was frightening as i bled heavily and bright red for 3 weeks. but i had a scan when it stopped and there was my cheeky man flapping away in there! lol! i thought i may have had a haematoma but ill never know. He was born overdue and is perfectly healthy so i consider myself lucky! just take it easy, thats what i did and enjoy your last few weeks of rest whilst you can! best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving!
Best wishes!

Why do you have a c-section scheduled? I'm just curious.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are doing alright and you like your new Dr. Take care of yourself this month.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that verse - thank you for sharing! And I'm so glad you and baby are doing okay, too. :) Such a scary event, but you are an encouragement. I've had moments of unexplainable peace at times in my life when I should be panicking, too, and I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt it's God. I hope you write these times down to remember. :)
ReplyDeletePraise God...I am glad all is well! I know the anxiety that you went through, my 3rd baby was an emergency c-section at 32 weeks and my 4th baby was an emergency c-section at 33 weeks. They both are healthy and happy! GOD is so good!!!
ReplyDeletePhew, Nicole! I'm so glad everything turned out OK! Can't wait to hear when the little one really does arrive, but not for a few more weeks, OKAY?
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cara

ReplyDeleteSo glad all is well! I'm new to your blog. I've enjoyed browsing around. I just learned we are expecting baby number 4 as well. I was really blessed by that verse from Hosea. I think I'll be using that one during the next nine months! Thank you for sharing it!
