Emergency Room Visit and a Little Scare

unfortunately, I had to spend the day in the er. Last night, around 6pm I wasnt feeling well and started vomiting excessively, which lasted consistently until about 11 am this morning. I started cramping so I gave my doctor a call and he instructed me to go to the e.r since I havent been able to hold anything down. They found I was partially dehydrated so I was put on an iv and given fluids and zofran.

I had an u/s and it was the most amazing experience ever! LO was flipping, kicking and wiggling all around! Every time the tech placed the monitor on my abdomen, lo would put its hands straight over its face and s/he's also a leg crosser! LO looked perfect with a strong heartbeat of 154 bpm and was even measuring two days ahead but they found a subchorionic hemorage - a tear between the placenta and uterus which is causing pretty consistent cramping.

Doc said its not uncommon for this to happen and that in fact, 25% of pregnancies have them and its not great cause for alarm since its very small but its something that needs to be watched. Im on pelvic rest until further notice or until my OB reads the report and schedules a follow up with me.
