Thailand holiday ...

Ok so once again I have been a really bad blogger...

Our Thailand holiday turned really stressful.

One week into our holiday, so at 16 wks pg, I had a really hectic bleed.

What made matters worse is that we were on a day trip out to one of the islands, it was a glorious day and we were having so much fun.

Slow boat ride out to the island, some canoeing and swimming in the beautiful water, Dh went to climb the mountain to the view point while I stayed behind and just lounged beneath the trees.

Dh came back and we were just about to board our boat again to the next island when I had this huge gush of fluid and I guess I knew instantly that it wasn’t gonne be good.

Rushed trip to the loo confirmed lotsa red blood.

My heart just sank and I ... well words can’t explain how petrified I was!

My hero of a husband went into overdrive, organised a speed boat back to the main Island with an ambulance waiting at the docks, while all the time holding my hand telling that everything was gonna be fine and that our babies would be fine

I love him so much ...

Hospital was not quite what I expected but it was better than nothing

We managed to see the Doc fairly quickly and did an Ultra sound.

We saw the babies moving and that was a huge relief, he also confirmed that the placentas where fine and that he could see the blood but it came from another source, he suspected the hematoma that I had.

So we stayed overnight in our private suite, which included plastic on the beds and a towel as bedding, with a trash can in the shower ( still don’t know what that was for)  and my poor hubby slept on the couch also covered in plastic.

Not the best night’s sleep but it was the night that I felt the first little kicks, 3 very distinct taps, my babies way of letting me know they were doing fine, just love these precious babies so much and their dad ... well he rocks my world!

The next morning we had another scan and babies were doing well and the bleeding that that the doc had seen before seemed to have gone, I was however still spotting quite a bit.

So off to the hotel we went for a week of bed rest.

The spotting continued for another 2 weeks in the second week I became very bloated and the spotting increased, needless to say I was petrified!!

So we changed our tickets to come home and just be under the care of our own Drs.

It’s with such a grateful heart that I came home to hear that my babies are fine and from the time that we got here I’ve had no more bleeding.

On the good side, I have just realised once again how totally amazing my husband is, how much I love these little babies and how grateful I am for being pregnant and knowing that these are my husbands babies growing inside of me .

On the down side it was a huge scare and I have become very fearful of every little thing, so much so that I am just praying to get to 26wks so hopefully I can relax a little knowing my babies will be viable although very prem.

So my prayer is Lord please just protect my babies and keep them safe and sound and in my womb until 37 wks...
