On Monday, February 8th, one week into my second trimester I woke up at 5:00am with a warm wet sensation between my legs. As I felt around I discovered the warm wetness surrounded me. As I lifted the sheets for inspection, I was more than horrified. Blood was everywhere. I rushed myself to the ER called my Aunt Sandy who lives in Anacortes and upon check in I was told that this was likely a miscarriage. As the doctor completed the exam I prepared for my pregnancy to be over. The doctor left the room to search for "fetal matter".
He returned with no evidence of "fetal matter" and proceeded with an ultrasound. To our surprise there was the baby, healthy, kicking and heart beating. It was a big surprise to us all, including the doctor.
At this point I was blood typed and had blood put on reserve in the bank, because they had no idea how much blood I had already lost at home, but there were concerns just in the amount I had lost at the ER. After lab work, blood typing, and a brief consultation with the doctor I had a formal extensive ultrasound to determine what the diagnosis would be.
