First bleeding scare, L&D visit, and bedrest

Let me first start off by saying that the babies are fine and kicking away!

Last night I had my first bleeding scare.  I am 22 weeks now.  Last night I was falling asleep on the couch so I decided to get ready for bed.  I went pee, and when I went to wipe, I looked down (force of habit still can't be broken), and there was a clot of blood.  My brain really couldn't comprehend what was happening and my initial thought was, "Oh, it's my period."  Then I thought, "Wait!  I'm pregnant!"  I cleaned up, put on a pad then went to find DH right away.  Somehow I remained calm through it all and just told DH what had happened and we discussed what to do.  My clinic was closed but they had given me the number for labour and delivery (L&D) at the hospital so I called there.  The nurse I spoke to was so nice, and she suggested I come in just to get checked out.  So, off to the hospital we went!  I had a little burst of tears as we explained to our visiting friends where we were off to, but otherwise remained quite composed.  It really wasn't that much blood, and I have heard countless stories of bleeding during pregnancy.  I just wanted to be sure we were doing due diligence to check everything out, especially because it just happened out of nowhere.

Fortunately, when we arrived at emergency it wasn't busy and they sent me right up to L&D.  They had me leave a sample of urine and then I got comfy on the bed.  A nurse came in to check my vitals and said that everything (blood pressure, temperature) was good.  We had to wait for the doctor and the main nurse because they were with a lady who was about to deliver her baby.  It was kind of funny because it's a small hospital, and the doors were all open, and we fully heard this lady going through the pushing stage of labour.  We heard the doctor announce it was a boy, and then we heard the baby crying.  That's when I let out a few more tears.  All in all though, we only waited about 45 minutes from the time we arrived at the hospital.  Poor DH was so worried and had the sadness of the world in his eyes.  I felt like things would be fine, but he didn't know what to expect.

Finally the doctor and nurse came in.  The doctor explained that he had looked through my chart and his hypothesis was that the bleeding was coming from my extra placental lobe.  I can't remember if I wrote about it or not, but Baby A has a succenturiate lobe, which is an extra piece attached to the placenta.  My doctor hadn't told me this, but apparently that lobe was only 1cm away from my cervix at my last ultrasound.  The doctor thought that it must have shifted and that was causing the bleeding.  He ordered an ultrasound for the next day (today), and told me to go on bedrest for the rest of this week.  He told me that I didn't have to stay overnight, which I hadn't even realized was an option, haha!  Then the nurse checked on the babies.  Both had good heartbeats (137 and 142) and were kicking up a storm!  She was trying to get both heartbeats at the same time, but they were moving around way too much (though I still couldn't feel them moving that much).  They also checked my urine and said there was no protein or ketones in it, which was great.  And then they sent me home.

I'm now at home taking it easy, and I'll update more once I've had my ultrasound and heard from the doctor.
