Tummy

My presious one left us tonight. Just as I thought... had it in my head that he would come on the 23rd. I just assumed at that time it would be the 23rd of Feb, I was due the 4th of March. Nope, 23rd of August.
I began to have bad pressure around 6:15p this evening. I was cooking dinner and needed to sit down it was so bad. When I did sit I had a huge gush of blood. From that point on the cramps were so intense. I actually timed them for a hour, every 2-3 minutes. Sure enough a feeling I was all to familiar with, just 9 short months ago I felt these exact pains during the labor of my beautiful daughter.
I went outside on the back porch to use the laptop and type out what was happening. I wanted to remember this all, not to have fuzzy moments and wonder. Just before 8 pm I felt this weird pop inside of my uterus, and then a bit woozy. I went into the bath room and for some reason, I honestly do not know why, grabed a bit of toilet tissue and put it under my bottom. I felt the slightest urge to push, and did so. I began to pee and then all of a sudden a blood clot.
My DH was on the phone with his sister in the bedroom. Before even pulling the tissue from between my legs I called for him. He came in a hurry and stood before me. I pulled the tissue up and saw my baby's eyes. There was a large blood clot and the baby's head, two eyes and a third black dot, his nose or mouth.
I thought I was prepared for this moment. I thought with knowing the past 6 days the baby was dead that I would be okay at this moment...
WRONG I WAS!
I began to sob. My DH dropped to his knees and held me while I sat on the toilet with part of our baby in my hands. My body continued to expell more blood clots and gushes of blood.
I have NEVER seen my DH cry until tonight!
I cleaned myself up, put on a new pair of panties and pad. The bleeding was sooo horrific! I had hemorrhaged with my last birth and it was replaying itself all over again.
After a hour and soaking 6 pads I had left over from "A's" birth, two pairs of panties I decieded it was a good idea to go to the ER. We arrived, me soaked from front to back in blood. I got undressed, onto the table and felt another HUGE blood clot leave my body. The nurse took it and put it in a cup. The next hour I had no blood clots, hardly any bleeding. Everything seemed to have become regular again.
I spoke with the nurse and decided to leave the hosp with out any futher testing.
I will follow up with my doctor tomorrow.
Thank you all for letting me share this story with you.
