Yes, still leaking!!
I am now singing "6 months in a leaky boat" by Split Enz in my mind!!! I guess that's what I feel like at the moment! This morning got out of the shower and was at the mirror toning my face and geetting ready for work again, when I felt a gush. I look down to see probably the equivalent of about 3 tablespoons of liquid running down the inside of my thigh and onto the floor mat. I panic but not as much cause now it's happening pretty much every day. Now it just does my head in and I wonder to myself if I should be doing more about it but the OB knows and he said not to worry too much about it just yet and to worry more if it's a constant stream, or if there's red blood. How can I NOT worry about it?? I rang him today just to talk about it and he confirmed I had a grade 1 placental abruption, so certainly not cause for extreme alarm or anything, but the close monitoring will apparently continue for entire length of the pregnancy now, not just until 24 weeks. That's a good and a bad thing..... of course I'm super grateful for all of the expert care I'm getting. Not for one second would I want it any other way, but the alarm bells ring in the back of my mind and think that I probably won't really get much of a chance at all to really enjoy this pregnancy. I will probably spend every waking moment worrying about whether or not my baby is ok, is it distressed, will it affect it long term?? But again, I will do my best to stay positive! I am booked in now for my 20 week scan on the 5th of July. Bring on about 28 weeks!! PLEASE!!!

Ooooooooh GJ.... I just want to wrap you up in a big hug and attach myself to you like a sea urchin. I don't know why stuff like this happens. The hard yards were supposed to be done. This is supposed to be fantastic time where you finally get to relax and dream about the future. You don't need this. Keep strong and think positively. It shouldn't have a negative impact as long as the circulation isn't compromised. You will know if there is a big problem because there will be a lot of blood and a lot of pain. The biggest thing will be trying to stay "relaxed" during this time. I hope Tuesday comes quickly so you can have that check up and further reassurance. ****HUGS****
