Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey guys. I woke up to the biggest scare of my life this morning. I am currently 6 months pregnant (24 weeks). I woke up at 5:30 this morning to go pee (as we all know about by this point LOL!!) and when I stood up I noticed that in the toilet was bright red blood. I mean RED. Scared the holy bejeebees outta me! I called out to my fiance that I was bleeding and even with the early hour, boy was he moving fast! We got dressed and drove to the hospital in record time. After a urine test (which was again red with blood) a fetal HR monitor and an ultrasound, they determined that the baby was not in any distress. They placed a cathater (sp???) in my bladder (FRIGGIN OWWW!!) and determined that the blood was not coming from my uterus or anything like that, rather it was coming from my kidneys and/or bladder. SOOO they run more tests and rule out bladder infection and kidney infection - there is no bacteria. SOOO they tell me "You have cyst_tis. Your doctor wants you to stop by his office to get a prescription for antibiotics and if you have any contractions or anything else which concerns you or if it doesn't get better, call your doctor or call us back". But I still don't understand - where am I bleeding from and why? I am relieved the baby is OK - I was seriously more scared than I have ever been in my life, and there was never a more glorious sound than her beating heart (which was, BTW, steady in the 140's). Anyone have any insight? I am taking antibiotics for 10 days. Any insight from anyone will help. THANKS!! Oh, yea and just to let you know - there was no burning or increased frequency in my urination....TMI I know, but I thought it might be useful info....THANKS FOR ANY INSIGHT!!
