Two Ultra Sounds and a whole lot of rollercoaster

On April 8Th I went to the perinatal unit at the hospital for my 3rd ultra sound.
Dr. Stone said that everything looked terrific and he wasn't planning to see me again until I was 30 weeks along.

Then two days ago. April 13Th, while taking chicken off of the grill, I had a very sharp pain that started very low in my right abdomen and slowly moved up and throughout my abdomen. I decided to sit on the toilet and after a few minutes there was a big gush of blood.

I sat there for about 1/2 hour or could have been closer to an hour, then I decided to move to the couch. My pain started to slowly weaken. After a few hours I felt like getting up. I called my Dr. and left a message. When he returned my call the next day we discovered that his answering service wasn't working properly. He told me to call the perinatal office to schedule an appointment with them. So I went today.

I saw a new Dr. and she said that there was a large clot of blood next to the baby's sac and it was from the placenta tearing away from my uterus wall and that I needed to hire help for the kids and stay off of my feet, "SERIOUSLY!"

I'm asking for prayers from everyone I talk to. I'm scared. I want this baby to make it fine. I'm also scared of the pain of childbirth. The cramping I was having the other night had me asking myself what in the world have I gotten myself back into. I wasn't scared of the pain the first time, or the second time, so much. But I'm scared now. And I'm bummed that I can't do anything, like yoga, to help me make it through labor easier. Hopefully this will clear up quickly and everything will be fine.
