Am I wrong for feeling dismissed?
I am just over 26 weeks with my rainbow baby. I have 2 girls, and I had 2 miscarriages between my youngest and this baby. (One last August and one last December).
This pregnancy has been my roughest yet, still on medication for morning sickness, SPD, problems with my blood pressure....
So obviously, I have been hyper aware of all things that could go wrong. Which brings me to my question.
Yesterday, while using the washroom, there was bright red blood when I wiped. Instantly I was scared. I tried calling my OB right away and since they were closed already I called my hospital. After a bunch of questions they said it would be best to come in to get checked as soon as possible.
So I told my boss and left right away. I got to labour and delivery by 2PM, after seeing the blood just shortly after 1. Things were apparently very busy yesterday and they didn't get me in a room for almost 2 hours. Once they did, they checked babies heat rate and my blood pressure. Both of which they thought were good. They told me to change (undress bottoms and cover in a sheet) and they would come examine me soon.
Well... There was a c section, then an emergency in the ER, then a critically ill patient the doctor couldn't leave so they called in the on call doctor to see other patients. All of which I was fine with... When the on call Doctor FINALLY came to see me I have been in the hospital for 7 hours!!
He asked me if the bleeding stopped, I said I was almost gone the last time I used the washroom. And so he sent me home!! No exam, no check nothing. He said to call my doctor next week and have her check me!
I said I have had 2 losses in the last year and am concerned by the sight of bright red blood, he said I am past 12 weeks so I don't need to worry about that.
No matter what I said he was just sending me along my way... I feel like since they were so busy and my bleeding was slowing he just didn't want to deal with me. I'm still worried even though I feel my baby moving and there has been no more blood. And I also feel like just being past 12 weeks doesn't make every tin safe.... Until my baby is in my arms I will worry about abnormal symptoms.
Am I wrong for feeling like they dismissed me and my concerns?
