[quote=Anonymous][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]

OP said they did all these things.  They gave her the steroid shot.  They admitted her.  They monitored her around the clock and did multiple scans. She mentions having seen MFM as well.  Don't further traumatize her.  She did everything you just told her she needs to " do asap" and they told her she was safe to be at home at the moment.

That being said, OP, I'd call your OB in the morning for an appointment to discuss everything further, including your anxiety, and see what the best plan for you is.  If you aren't working and don't have other kids at home, can you stay in an airbnb close to your hospital for a few weeks?  No one is going to advocate for you to have a c section at 33 weeks unless the baby is in distress, he/she is not done cooking yet and every day in utero gives him/her a greater advantage for full health.

Thank you for this. Truly..

We will be 34 week on Wednesday and I'm hoping to get her that far. I know they wont sign off unless she's in distress. I'd love more clear instructions on non bleeding symptoms tomorrow. Hopefully I can get someone to examine me or talk besides the tech doing the bpp scan.

We can't afford it. We looked at some Airbnb's nearby and it's so pricey. Especially with me not working now. I work for myself and had planned to keep working through the mid/end of Aug. I also don't get paid any leave.

We do have a hospital nearby that has a level 4 NICU and labor and delivery wing if things seemed really bad that we could get to quicker. The mfms at our hospital actually said if actively bleeding just go there and they could always transfer us if stable. It's just knowing when to go in. Because we had zero warning or pain with the bleeding on Monday. I thought my water broke and then I saw when I pulled my pants down.

And now it's hard to distinguish gas/pregnancy pains or just the uterus growing up into my ribs. Baby is also breech now so she feels different then when she was head down.

Hopefully I can get someone on the phone asap in the am[/quote]
