[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get to an MFM asap. An MFM should determine whether you should be at home or at the hospital. Abruptions are serious. Honestly, I don’t know that I’d stay at home, I would go back to the hospital and insist on being admitted. Get a steroid shot for baby’s lungs, have them monitor you and if MFM when they can see you doesn’t like what they see, they can order an immediate c section. If you’re nearly 34 weeks, there’s no reason for you to stay pregnant under these circumstances. Be your own advocate. Sending you courage. [/quote]

Thanks I mentioned some of this above.

I've been being followed by mfm and weekly bpps since 32 weeks. Our 32 week bpp was 8/8. When we we went to triage on Monday we were given steroid injections. One Monday, and the second dose Tuesday. The MFM team followed us at the hospital. Actually the head of the mfm team was the one on call week. They met with us every day Monday- Friday and ultimately were the ones who discharged us. They kept us an extra day to give me some iron and said baby hasn't been distress all week.

My ob was on call Monday when we went in and she had us sign all the paperwork for a transfusion and emergency c. But then baby was stable and MFM monitored us Mon night- Fri afternoon.

I asked to stay. But I wasn't actively bleeding anymore. I really bled at home and passed the clot and then the pad I had on when I got to triage was 30% saturated. Other than that I spotted the entire week at the hospital. And after Wednesday it was all brown. I think they felt comfortable with that plus Tuesdays bpp scan and then kept me until Friday.

I don't know how else to advocate for her at this point. we are going in tomorrow for a bpp and I'm going to call in the am and insist someone from mfm see us. We use the faculty practice for the hospital we went to so there is crossover between the Drs and mfm team[/quote]
