It was so horrifying for me to get the call from my husband that his sister started bleeding while they were at the store. He asked me to come to be there for her, and for him.
I had to wake up my little guy from his nap, get him in the car, and not drive like a bat out of hell. Which wasnt the easiest thing for me, having known what she was going through i didnt want her to be alone in the bathroom.
By the time i was there, my husbands famliy was there. I got into the van with mom and my hestarical sister in law, just sobbing.
Having now back seats up and available to sit in, i sat on the floor of the van as my mother in law drove like a crazy lady toward the hospital. My sister was 14 weeks along, and we.all knew there was nothing the hospital could do if she was in fact miscarriaging. But we were still headed therefor some reason.
I remember praying so hard that she didnt need to know my pain, that the pain i have everyday is not something i want her to feel. This was her last chance to have another baby, due to health conditions. And she didnt need to lose her baby.
I prayed so hard for so long. Not sure if i helped at all, but i offered up some counsel as to what i went through.. and that she may just be bleeding.
We called ahead to thd er and they said not to come in unless she was filling a pad in less that an hour or if the pain became unbareable.
She ended up wanting us to take her home to be with her husband and lay down. We had to wait the weekend to find out that everything was okay with the baby, and that the reason she was bleeding was her heart condition.
My heart was breaking thinking about the pain her heart was going to feel, and how icouldnt protect her from it. This is a pain that i still survive from every day, 15 months later it is still so fresh for me.
Resently she is now 17 weeks along, and still spotting off and on... currently on bed rest, which she has been on since the scare. And the drs have told her that she will not be going past 37 weeks
