THAT was hard, THIS is harder!

   OK so I thought being in Oz at my parents place on the anniversary of our loss would be hard, and I did have a few flashbacks and it was stressful, but boy, I didn't plan on making a return trip to the hospital where I miscarried and had the d and c with a threatened miscarriage at 14 weeks!

I started bleeding on Fri night, but bub was still bouncing around on the doppler so I wasn't too worried but as I am RH neg I had to go to hospital to have the anti d injection.

And the local hospital is Royal North Shore where, you guessed it, I had the d and c. So off I went, hoping to just be able to have the shot and go home.

No such luck. Coz I was still bleeding they wouldn't let me go. Luckily it was a different part of the ED that I was taken to from last time, and the doctor was really good. I did get a bit teary and stressed and started thinking I was going to lose bub, but I explained the PTSD (which is a result of my m/c) to the doctor and he was great about reassuring me and calling the OB reg for a consult. She was even more brilliant and told me how unlikely it is to miscarry at this stage of pregnancy, which was reassuring, but I had an anxiety attack having the anti d shot coz it just triggered too many memories. 

Ultrasound showed bub is fine, and all is well with the pregnancy, which is a relief, but damn I was glad to get out of there this afternoon! Talk about a test of my mental health!
