So scary

Okay, so much has happened in the last 3 weeks that I will take his slowly and post one happening at a time.
First of all on the 28th Feb, just after I had arrived at work and sat down to my first cup of coffee, Cathy called me...
She was clearly crying and really upset... and she couldn't remember our home phone number... I spoke to her calmly and tried to find out what had happened.
She had started bleeding... My worst fears were coming true... I couldn't believe it. I told her that she needed to get to hospital asap and that I'd meet her there. I didn't think there was time for me to drive all the way home and fetch her.
So I jumped up and ran to my car... I got in and started driving. The tears started to flow. I couldn't believe this was happening. Not now. Not after everything we'd been through for this child. I prayed hard... I think he heard...
I arrived at the hospital before her, we met at the entrance and I took her up to maternity. The doc was on his way. The nurses hooked her up to the CTG (Cardiotocograph) which measures baby's heart rate and mommy's contractions.
Baby was fine... phew... such a relief.
Doc arrived and checked Cath out. He said everything was okay, but that he wanted her to stay there and later on he'd do a scan. He did the scan and all was fine. It looked like the bleeding was coming from outside, but he couldn't really be certain. Anyway, she had to spend the night in hospital and was then instructed to go in to the hospital every morning and evening for a ctg to check on the baba.

What an horrendous thing to happen. I don't think I have ever been more scared in my life... The 1 1/2 ppl that are the most important to me in the entire world were in danger. Thats just not right.

Anyway, things were fine. We were told that baby is definately going to come early and that it would probably be a caesar. "Ave Caesar"... sorry, got Asterix and Obelix going through the brain.

Next post... one week later... panic at the cricket?
