Here's the short version, since I haven't gone to bed yet and my brain is foggy.
At about 10:30 last night J started having sharp lower back pain on her right side. We decided after about an hour or so of trying home remedies (warm bath, Tums in case it was gas, etc) that we needed to go to the ER. About 5 minutes after she was triaged she told me she felt like she was "gushing" and needed to go to the bathroom. When she came out she told me that she was bleeding heavily. Within minutes they had a bed ready for us and we were ushered to the back. She was given pain meds and an IV, and the ER doc ordered an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed the baby was perfectly healthy - heart beating, wiggling around, etc. The OB residents were called for a consult and they ruled "threatened miscarriage." She was given a shot of RhoGAM since she's Rh negative and our baby is Rh positive (to prevent her body from treating the baby as a foreign object to get rid of). J is on bed rest until further notice. We just got home from the hospital about 10 minutes ago.
Thanks for your prayers.
